The media soon caught whiff of the story, and the issue caused quite a

stir for the school board and the Ministry of Health.

Captivated by the story on the news I contacted the trio.

“As an interactive designer and creative problem solver, I approach my work by drawing upon my

many different interests and passions. My perspective often leads to favourable design

solutions for clients, and my desire to demystify design and help connect the creative community has

also led me to assume roles in the areas of both creative and social media strategy.”
