Working as the Lead Graphic Designer for Oilsands Review magazine I learned a great deal about the publishing industry and my ability to use my strengths as a designer to improve an existing product and foster creative camaraderie amongst my team. My work with JWN was nominated for an Alberta Magazine Publisher's Association Award and two national Kenneth R. Wilson Awards. Working with what some might call "boring" or "tedious" subject matter, I refused to let that pre-conceived notion dictate how my publication should look. I worked hard with my editor to translate her passion and drive for a polarizing industry into something visually stimulating for our readers. The result—Atypical visuals and layouts that remained on-brand while still encouraging the higher-ups in the company to step outside of their comfort zone and not be afraid to be bold and take pride in their product.
