    paper CPP's Elite Advisor's Conference 2025
    This was my final Elite Advisor's Conference while at CPP/Foresters Financial. With this microbrand, I wanted to give it an 80's Miami Vice vibe, so again, we played with palm trees and a sunset, but instead with the colour palette, we went with something cool that would help make the yellow and magenta really pop out. What resulted was an 80's like synth-wave vibe with cool backgrounds and silhouettes with a splash of yellow and hot pink to really stand out. I left Foresters in October of 2024, so I never got to work on the other assets surrounding the event, but have heard that the team really loved and appreciated the branding and the vibe around the event. The attached flyer is for the event qualifications and one of my last pieces done for this event.…
    paper CPP's Elite Advisors Conference 2022
    The Elite Advisors Conference is a yearly event held by Canada Protection Plan for the top advisors. It is an opportunity for networking, business sessions, and some fun in the sun at a tropical location. In 2022, the event was held in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Every year, we would try to come up with a distinct visual theme to keep things fun. This also allows the marketing team to play outside of the established CPP and Foresters brand guides just a bit. The visual aesthetic we landed on for 2022 was surf/beach brands from the late 80's. We took a lot of inspiration from brands like Ocean Pacific and Ron's Surf Shop. The result is the design below. We have the design in both English and French. pitchdeck…
    paper CPP'S Elite Advisor Conference 2023
    The Elite Advisor Conference is a yearly event held by Canada Protection Plan for the top advisors. It is an opportunity for networking, business sessions, and some fun in the sun at a tropical location. In 2023, the event was held in Cancun, Mexico. Every year, we would try to come up with a distinct visual theme to keep things fun. This also allows the marketing team to play outside of the established CPP and Foresters brand guides just a bit. The visual aesthetic we landed on for 2023 was Art deco. I took inspiration from American Art Deco from the 1920's and 1930's, specifically from around New York and the Empire State Building. In addition to Art Deco, I was also inspired by features from around the Yucatan Peninsula, where Cancun is located, and included elements such as the Mayan temples, palm trees and leaves, and water to symbolize the Gulf of Mexico which surrounds it. Regarding colours, I wanted to play with rich greens and golds, to play into the theme of luxury and sophistication. graphicdesigner illustrator pdf videoeditor…
    paper A TTC App Prototype User Experience Case Study (2019)
    In January of 2019, I took the User Experience Design course at BrainStation Toronto. With design and tech advancing so quickly, and user interaction now a big part of the entire design process, I felt the need to update my own knowledge as well. This app prototype was my final project submission. graphicdesigner casestudy UXDesign UIDesign…
