FREELANCE
GRAPHIC DESIGNER
ABBOTSFORD

Hi, I'm a passionate freelance graphic designer based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. I've always had a deep love for creating unique projects.

I was raised in the beautiful Fraser Valley, and it continues to be my home, life, and biggest inspiration. Surrounded by some of the most stunning mountains in the world, flowing rivers, lush forests, and a close-knit community, I draw daily inspiration from the natural beauty and strong local values around me.

As a designer, I believe in quality, authenticity, and connection. My goal is to help small businesses, entrepreneurs, and local brands bring their vision to life through thoughtful, customized design solutions—whether it's branding, visual identity, or digital graphics.

British Columbia is a prime example of why you might need this kit! The Fraser Valley is packed with outdoor activities— whether out for a hike in the summer, or swimming in one of the beautiful lakes in BC. You can never be too prepared.
