Hello. I'm a designer with a passion for making things accessible.

I've worked with some amazing organizations and people:

ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development is Ontario’s largest children’s treatment centre, serving almost 17,000 children and youth annually who have physical and developmental disabilities, autism, communication disorders, and vision or hearing loss.

The 2017/2018 theme, Reaching New Heights is about both the milestones achieved in client care and the completion of ErinoakKids' redevelopment. Playful colours and illustrations invite readers in to take a closer look. The clear layout and legible typesetting optimize the report's readability.

Web ABC (Accessibility Business Case) Toolkit

Project: Graduate Capstone | View Online Toolkit

Web ABC Toolkit was developed as a year-long, capstone project for Accessible Media Production, a graduate certificate program at Mohawk College. The project brings together a year of learning outcomes such as understanding barriers on the web and applying inclusive design practices.

The tooklit identifies which four factors (social, technical, financial, legal and policy) to focus on, to build a better business case for web accessibility. The website meets WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards and offers content in a variety of accessible formats.

Read the blog post for the toolkit's development and launch at the 10th Annual Accessibility Conference in Guelph.

Shelter Movers

Project: Menu & Donation Card for Annual Gala Event

Shelter Movers is a volunteer-based organization that provides moving and storage services at no cost to women and children experiencing abuse. Shelter Movers collaborates with community partners in Ottawa and Toronto to help families transition to a life free of abuse.

A Moving Affair is Shelter Movers' annual black tie gala - the November 2017 event was held at the iconic Capitol Theatre in Toronto. As a volunteer member of the Marketing and Communications team, I designed the gala's menu, along with a donation card (that could also be distributed at future events).

Better Now: Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care
for All Canadians

Project: Website for Book Launch | 6BigIdeas.ca

Dr. Danielle Martin is a family physician in Toronto and Vice President of Medical Affairs and Health System Solutions at Women's College Hospital (WCH). In Better Now, she outlines "Six Big Ideas" to improve Canada’s health care system.

The website was critical to promoting the book prior to its release on January 10, 2017. Borrowing key visuals from the book jacket design, the site uses single-page scrolling and a minimal menu to create a bold user experience.
