About

I’m Fiona McBean, a Ottawa-based graphic designer, production artist and illustrator who loves turning concepts into cohesive visuals. Over the years I’ve delivered layout, illustration, typography and production design for print and digital media—ads, books, brochures, catalogs, newsletters and posters—working in both English and French. I thrive in contract, in-house and team settings, helping brands maintain consistent identity across campaigns.

I enjoy collaborating with creative and production teams to develop strong brand concepts, and I stay current with tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma and Procreate to craft polished visuals. I’m comfortable exploring UX concepts and translating ideas into effective design solutions that engage audiences.
