Marketing Specialist She/ Her

I am the expert behind CL Designs and the Brand Party Podcast. As a graphic designer who's traded in climbing the corporate ladder for climbing mountains around the world, I help purpose-driven businesses create cohesive branding, web design, and marketing collateral to increase your impact and sales. Saying no to dull and clunky visuals and yes to consistency, creativity, and efficiency forms the core of her approach.

As the host of the Brand Party Podcast, my guests and I deliver fun, honest, to-the-point advice that you can implement RIGHT AWAY in your entrepreneurial journey. It has made Top 10: Canada Design and Apple Podcasts' acclaimed New + Noteworthy list in both the Art and Design categories.

Having earned my stripes in the fast-paced media world, and learned first-hand the challenges faced by startups through her own journey (sometimes the hard way!) I wanted to provide lean and efficient design and branding services that would free businesses to push on with what they’re best at. I’ve helped bootstrap startups, household brands, and pretty much everything in between. When I’m not climbing mountains around the world, I’ve been featured in Yahoo News’ Top 10 graphic designers to watch for in 2021 and have become DHL’s graphic and web design expert for Canadian small businesses for their #DiscoverYourNext campaign along with being nominated for a Digital Publishing Award for my work on Maclean’s “Bulldog” Election Daily issue.

Plus I’ve also worked as a contributing designer on the launch of the Walmart Live Better social campaign, covered nationally broadcasted events such as the Juno Awards and Canadian Music Week with CBC Music, and helped the House of Anesi raise over $90K on their Kickstarter campaign, while helping purpose-driven businesses create branding and design collateral to help drive my clients’ top line.
