In 2023, we undertook various projects, including updated branding for long-time clients like Black Bear Healing Home and Angela's Cookie Jar, noteworthy illustration work for Greenbank Hunt Club Centre and the latest spy thriller cover art for Rhiannon Beaubien, and web and print design for clients such as Howard, Kelford, & Dubois and Handfashioned Fine Craft.

The Crown & Pumpkin Studio Tour
We recently revamped the Crown & Pumpkin Studio Tour's website, a 27-year-old cultural event in Lanark County, outside Ottawa, Canada. The old site's disorganized layout was replaced with a clear brand message and user-friendly features like streamlined navigation, categorization for easy discovery, dedicated tour stop pages, and enhanced maker profiles. Initial feedback has been positive with an increase in social media traction, over 16,000 website visits in a month, and hopes of enhanced engagement for future events.
