ABOUT

A Brand Apart specializes in unique designs, built from scratch, by someone passionate about getting your message to the right people in the right way.

 

By working to determine your brand’s story and purpose, I can help create a voice for your business designed with your target demographic in mind, and provide an authentic visual identity system that will speak to your mission, values and beliefs.

MY BACKGROUND

Originally planning a career in Forensic Psychology, my path in life took a sudden turn when I applied to a traditional animation program in Vancouver and found a love for design and illustration that I’d previously never known, much less explored.

 

After graduation, I worked at a local studio in children’s television animation for several years before realizing I preferred to work with images that didn’t move. I focused on upgrading my skill set and transitioned to the world of graphic design, specializing in package design and branding, now incorporating photography and videography into my service offerings.

SERVICES
CREATIVE

Design and emotion are interconnected, and campaigns that inspire a reaction from their viewers are the most memorable. I plan for the target demographic and present a fresh take so that customers feel a bond with the brand.

DESIGN

Branding carries through every aspect of a company, from logos to print design to colour scheme. Everything I create for a company is cohesive and maintains a clean, consistent aesthetic to ensure that when customers recognize even a small element of the brand, it’s unmistakably yours.

PHOTOGRAPHY

The goal of branding is to deliver a consistent voice and aesthetic. By offering photography / videography as part of my services, the overall look of your brand is cohesive across all platforms, from website to social to promotional materials.

SOCIAL

Like it or hate it, social media is here to stay, and a neccesity for any business, big or small, to keep in contact with your clients and target demographic. Strategy and planning is key to deliver content that is not only interesting, but presents your brand in the best possible way in a consistent voice and style.

DIGITAL

Design in the digital realm began with learning lines of HTML code. Nowadays, working on WordPress helps streamline a brand’s online creation, focusing on the marketing presence that’s central to your site, and creating an online identity that best represents your message to the world. Most of all, a WordPress-based format makes it easy for clients to assume updates for the site content once all design elements are completed.

NOTE: No longer offering site design / maintenance for clients.
