Life Coach rebrand and website content update.

Elisabeth is a life coach with a client base and an active social media following. She wanted to update her brand and website to drive more traffic from her social media account to her website to increase business and provide her clients with more information about her services.

To achieve these goals, we updated the messaging and imagery to be client focused. Highlighting her coaching programs, training background and approachability along with the health benefits of hiring a life coach. This created a greater sense of trust for the clients and provided the life coach with greater visibility within her industry.

ACCESSIBILITY AND AODA

AODA compliance for assistive technologies.

Accessibility for documentation and web is a part of my design process and conscious. Through the additions of various features to a source document or web code, this will make the document or web page easily read by screen readers and other assistive technologies.

For many of my client’s projects, accessibility features are added into the design of the document templates, such as PPT and RFP templates, therefore making things easier for the client and their customers.

Creating Unique Imagery for Unique Projects

Unique images for a specific event or promotion are often requested. They have always been needed for software companies, as their subjects and content are quite specific and many of the stock image libraries do not contain images that will work for projects.

Infographics and iconology are often requested to explain a company’s technology, product features or the business industry. Many of these infographics and icons are reused digitally for social media, presentations or in print for collateral for posters and tradeshow booth backdrops. Below are a few examples of imagery collages that I have created to illustrate software technology.

Illustration is my fun and I very much enjoy this aspect of my career.

Event Graphics and Signage

Promoting a brand in large scale format is always fun and an exciting design project. Using both imagery and illustrations to create unique back drops for any sized space. Many designs have been for both pop-up fabric backgrounds or pre-determined shelf scheme layouts. Using both photo imagery and illustrations I am able to create unique back drops for any sized space. Below are four booth spaces, two shelf scheme and two fabric pop-up booths. Along with two vertical banners that were used for product promotion.
