Branding & Logo Design

Branding and logo design that resonates with you and attracts your dream clients.

What’s included:


  • Primary & secondary logo design
  • Colour palette & typography guide

Packaging & Print Design

Packaging and print design that makes your product impossible to ignore (in the best way).


Your packaging is often the first physical thing a customer touches, so it needs to work as hard as the product inside it. I design custom packaging, labels, and print materials that look professional on a shelf, hold up in production, and actually sound and feel like your brand, not like a generic template. Whether you're launching a new product line or your current packaging isn't pulling its weight anymore, I'll help you get it right.


What you’ll get:


  • Custom product packaging & label design
  • Print-ready files, sized and set up correctly for your printer
  • Packaging that's consistent with your existing branding & logo design (or built alongside a new brand)
  • Print materials like postcards, hang tags, stickers, and inserts
  • Guidance on materials, printers, and production, so you're not guessing


💡 Ideal for: Canadian product-based small businesses launching a new item, refreshing tired packaging, or getting ready for retail and market shelves.

Website Design & Development

Custom affordable websites that tell your story & build your business through effective website design. Your website should work with you, not against you. I create clean, strategic sites that reflect your branding and logo design, attract the right audience, and make it easy for visitors to take action.


What you’ll get:


  • A beautiful, mobile-friendly website built on GoDaddy, Squarespace, or Google Sites, etc.
  • Strategic layout & flow for better engagement
  • Basic SEO setup (titles, descriptions, alt text, image optimization)
  • One-on-one walkthrough so you can confidently make updates yourself


💡 Ideal for: service-based Canadian small businesses, product launches, portfolio sites, and marketing materials design.

Let's connect about your project

Website Audit

Honest feedback for your website. No sugar-coating, no jargon.

You built your site (or maybe someone else did, ages ago) and deep down you're wondering: is it actually working? Is it missing something? Does it look the way it should?


That's what a Website Audit is for. We hop on a 20-minute call, you screen-share your site, and share your concerns. Then after the call, I do a full walkthrough of exactly your site to see what's working, what's not, and what I'd fix if it were mine. You'll get a report with real, specific, actionable notes you can take to update your site on your own, or we can discuss working together.


No fluff. No vague "you should update your content" advice. Just a straight-up, honest review from someone who's been building and designing websites for 20+ years.


Investment: $150 CAD


💡 Perfect for: business owners who DIY'd their site, haven't touched it in a while, or have a gut feeling something's off.

Common projects include: 


  • Social media post templates (Canva or custom design)

  • Business cards & stationery 
  • Packaging & labels 
  • Digital ads, PDFs & guides 
  • Marketing materials design for various platforms

VIP Design Day

Get it done. Like, actually done.


Sometimes you don't need a big project, you just need focused time with a designer who can move fast. That's exactly what a VIP Design Day is.


You book a full day. I show up (virtually) with my full attention, zero distractions, and 20+ years of experience. We knock out a defined project together from start to finish, and you walk away with something done! Not "we'll circle back next week" done. Actually done.


Examples of what we can get done in a day:

  • A brand new business card
  • A landing page or single-page website
  • A social media starter kit (templates + profile graphics)
  • A set of marketing materials (flyers, postcards, promo graphics)
  • A logo polish or brand refresh
  • Something else? Ask me — if it fits the day, let's do it!


How it works: You pay upfront to hold your date, we align on scope beforehand so there are no surprises, and by the end of the day you've got finished files in hand.


Investment: $500 CAD (flat rate)


💡 Perfect for: small business owners who have one clear thing they need done and want it off their plate fast!

Project Broadcast Management

Your texts, taken care of.


If you're a direct seller or network marketer using Project Broadcast, you already know how powerful it is. You also know how much time it takes to actually do it well! Writing messages, timing them right, keeping up with renewals, rewards, and new member outreach.


That's where I come in. I manage Project Broadcast accounts for direct sellers & small businesses who want the results without spending their evenings at the keyboard. I handle the messaging strategy, the writing, and the scheduling, so your PB is working even when you're not.


What I can manage:

  • New client & team welcome messages
  • Renewal & rewards reminders
  • Month-end promos & incentives
  • Grace period & expiry reminders
  • Custom campaigns for launches or events


Pricing is based on the scope of your account & billed monthly. Every account is a little different, so let's chat, and I'll put together something that fits.


💡 Perfect for: Arbonne consultants & direct sellers who are tired of doing their own text marketing or haven't started yet.
