CNIB FOUNDATION - Rebrand
The Canadian National Institute for the Blind at the 100 year mark went through their most extensive rebrand to date. Now a Foundation the company wanted a bold new look that modernized the century old company. An external agency was brought on board to create this new brand positioning, look and feel. As the lead in-house creative I was tasked with taking the new brand and making it work across all platforms.
Below:
• The first Annual Report done in the new brand.
• The Venture Zone app (a "game" that helps budding blind and partially sight individuals 'pretend' launch their own business)
• The brand new EyeVan (18 wheeler eye hospital on wheels)
• New brand launch video that ran on the cnib.ca landing page for the first week of life of the new CNIB Foundation.

Citrine Boutique - Brand
A high end women's boutique in downtown St. John's Newfoundland needed a rebrand. Owner Sandy not only had a unique vision for shop but also for her rebrand. I was given the task of integrating a high end look, with a bit of whimsy, the citrine stone colour, polka dots, a script font and her favourite Cala Lillies.
York University - Post Script, an International Symposium
on Accessible Digital Publishing
A brand new event for Public Access/ York University - Postscript needed a brand. This event would bring together artists, researchers, writers, academics, publishers and distributers from around the world who work in arts publishing. This brand needed to standout but also needed to be fully accessible since the focus of the event was accessible digital publishing and issues related to disability.

ZIFHR Brand - Identity and Social Media
ZIFHR is a career counselling & job search coaching company. I originally created the brand identity for the then start up. The owner and head career counsellor Jane Brind later approached me to act as a consultant on the building of website. I worked with her and the agency of record to bring UX and UI ideas to the table. I also created all of the conceptual illustrations used on the website and on a series of social posts.

"Double Your Impact" Guide Dog Campaign
A generous donor gifted the CNIB Foundation $50,000. The campaign hoped to raise funds by doubling all donations with a goal minimum of reaching $50,000. A Pop up Ad, Instagram Stories ad and a Video for email and social media, all created for a Direct Marketing "Double your impact" Campaign.
Typically campaigns/mailings in the summer months don't generate top dollar revenue. This campaign however was the highest grossing in that segment in CNIB Direct Marketing Campaign history.
Digital strategy, Art Direction, writing and editing were all done in-house.
As the story board shows, when you are working with animals you sometimes have to be flexible with what your final vision is (watch the video).
