Hi, I'm Heather!
I am a creative at heart, a dreamer, storyteller, and out-of-the-box thinker, with a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Advertising and a passion for meaningful design. Over the years, my love for creativity has only grown stronger. From the moment I began my studies, I dove headfirst into every opportunity to push creative boundaries and bring ideas to life.
During my time at Humber College, I worked with a range of real clients including NextGenMen, Halton Food for Thought, Xbox PC Game Pass, and Wing. One standout experience was developing a full rebrand for NextGenMen with my team - our concept was selected for future use by the nonprofit. This project included everything from logo and product design to social media content and a case study video, showcasing my ability to think holistically and execute across different mediums.
I later interned with CAST Group of Companies, where I transitioned into a contract role. There, I gained hands-on experience creating booth designs for tech conventions, email templates, social media assets, and style guide updates; honing both my creative and strategic design skills in a fast-paced, real-world setting.
Beyond client work, I continue to explore my creativity through illustration, storytelling, photography, and DIY projects. I also run a bookstagram and blog, where I share reviews and content centered around my love for literature; blending my interests in design, content creation, and storytelling.
