The Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD) has achieved many notable accomplishments over the years, and as a result, it has accumulated a wealth of remarkable statistics around its endeavours. RGD sought to design an infographic which highlights all of the benefits they offer to their 3,000+ members. The project’s goals were to create general awareness about the RGD, inform the design community of its programs and ultimately increase membership. The challenge was to present the content in a way that engaged the viewer visually while educating them about the programs and value available through the RGD. Angular lines were used in print and online to allow the information to be layered and created an organic flow. The unifying style and colour palette further connected the individual pieces into a cohesive whole. Animations in the online version added another layer and brought the information to life.

I have high standards for quality, a keen eye for detail, and a continuous commitment to craft thoughtful digital and physical experiences that exceed client expectations and connect with those using them. Throughout my career, I’ve made lasting connections with clients and collaborators.

Living and working in two provinces has enabled me to apply a unique perspective to my work, which has been recognized by Applied Arts and Design Edge.
