About Me
I’m a Canadian designer that loves travel, animals, fitness and our beautiful planet. I started my business in 2014, and have lived and worked in Canada, Australia and Germany.
I’ve always been environmentally conscious, but my passion for sustainability and animal welfare grew during my travels and they’re now a major focus of my work.
I did the digital nomad thing for about 6 years, but am now based in Vancouver, Canada. When I’m not working, you’ll find me climbing rock walls, gardening, cooking vegan food or reading historical fiction.
Empower Golf Australia is a not-for-profit that works with disabled Australians to improve their lives and opportunities through recreation, namely golf. We run hundreds of events at numerous locations supporting thousands of individuals annually.
Therefore it is critical for us to execute a multilevel marketing strategy. Since our inception in 2014, we have worked almost exclusively with Colleen weekly/monthly to deliver this strategy with everything from graphic design to website improvements. She has been fundamental in our business growing tenfold over that time.
Colleen has consistently used a combination of her edgy creativity and business acumen to ensure we achieve our marketing and communications goals. She has always been an excellent communicator, happy to work to tight deadlines and always producing quality work. We would recommend her to anyone.

Colleen is proficient on all of the latest versions of the most cutting edge design software and is always learning new skills. The Artists we support have been impressed with her range of knowledge, her ability to meet tight deadlines and the excellent quality of her work.
Beverly Walker
Coordinator, DTES Small Arts Grants
RDVSA have worked with Colleen since 2015. We have collaborated on so many various projects - annual reports, calendars, flyers, brochures, conference posters, and manuals. Colleen is so easy to work with - our organisation has a limited budget and very specific style guide. Colleen is always able to translate our briefs into designs which are creative, eye-catching and appropriate for the subject matter. Colleen has been our go to designer for over 5 years and we look forward to continuing our partnership!
