Our standards are high.

We bring deep expertise and know-how to the table, and while we will always seek out the simplest and most effective solution for our clients to keep the project on budget and on deadline, we never settle for the default or humdrum.

Since our foundation in the Ottawa area in 2009, Sumack Loft has served clients locally, across the province, the country, and beyond with outstanding brand, print, web, and illustration solutions.

We develop a partnership with our clients, working with you rather than for you, so that your business will break through, stand out, and get noticed. We’ll always pull out all the stops to make sure that your communications are on brand and on target.

We care deeply about every project.

We’re a friendly team made up of brand design specialists, graphic designers, and web developers. We all have secondary skills that are valuable for our clients, such as illustration, animation, photography, marketing strategy, content writing, blogging, database design, tech support, etc.

Each project is approached with an open mind. We listen carefully and ask lots of questions. Creating a detailed plan for what you want to create or do will save money, time, and effort, and help to ensure your success in the long run.

AUNI MILNE
Principal + Lead Designer

As founder of Sumack Loft, Auni is an expert in all things creative — graphics, web design, illustration, etc. — and strives to ensure that projects look great both in terms of colour and form, while also functioning seamlessly.

She has a deep love of logo design, which has paid off with 9 of her designs in recent years winning placement into the respected LogoLounge annual awards books (including our own starling logo).

Auni’s experience working at global advertising agencies before launching her own business means she is deeply knowledgable about good design practices and has an exacting process for how projects are managed. Having grown up in Quebec and attended Beaux-Arts in France, Auni speaks French at an intermediate level.

ANNE TREMBLAY
Graphic Designer

Anne has been designing print communications for many years and is a perfectionist when it comes to creating and producing corporate pieces such as annual reports and brochures. Her keen ability for listening to a client’s needs and translating those into design makes her a valuable asset on any project as she understands that user experience and design are just as important as functionality.

Anne also loves editorial illustration and has produced many infographics and book covers. She is always up for a new challenge and her knowledge continues to grow and expand. Anne grew up in a French Canadian household and her verbal and written skills are flawless in both national languages.
