Chef Henrie Bistro & Cafe
For Chef Henrie Bistro & Cafe, I created the logo, website and all marketing materials from 2017-2020.
First event I promoted for the restaurant. It was important to me that all images used to promote Chef Henrie Bistro & Cafe were taken by me at the restaurant as authenticity was the key to the branding.

Museum on Tower Hill
Working in small museums, you become entire departments. As Communications Officer with the Museum on Tower Hill, I wrote copy for media releases and MailChimp e-blasts, and the occasional piece for a newspaper column and the magazine Fun in the Sun. I would do a lot of didactic writing or proofing for exhibition and intro panels. I designed posters, graphics for social media, all in-house signage and didactic layouts. Management of the Museum's website, Facebook and Twitter took up a fair amount of time.
Going in with no graphic design experience, I was concerned about my abilities but my degree in fine arts meant I wasn't completely useless. This section doesn't show everything I produced, but it does illustrate the transition from clip-art junkie to original artist.

John Macfie Exhibition & Talk
John Macfie was a local celebrity in Parry Sound. Artist, author and historian with books complied from over a hundred interviews with locals, Macfie contributed a lot to the Museum on Tower Hill over the years so it was fitting to have an exhibition honouring him.
For this exhibition, I created the social media posts, posters, website banners an exhibition page and an information graph about Macfie as an author. I used photos provided for the exhibition to create everything. Wanting the poster to feel epic, I used Photoshop Elements 15 to cut out the images and layer them.
Brochures
I created brochures for the Museum's Annual Pass Program, Corporate Sponsorship and Adopt-An-Artifact.
