Who am I?

I’m a designer and illustrator with a passion for community focussed projects. I’m a big believer in nature, people, the power of learning and getting curious and engaged about the world. My work is imbued with playfulness, a caring lens and making information and learning accessible, all things I believe the world needs more of. I’m based in so called “Vancouver.”

I've worked as an in-house designer for small businesses, been part of design agencies as both a graphic designer and motion designer and am currently freelancing for a variety of clients. My primary focus as of late is creative direction and creation in print focused product design (Stationery! Stickers! Books!) and helping non-for-profits with their creative needs. However, I also love working in motion design, information design, illustration, editorial, packaging design, web and branding. Have a project in mind? Please reach out!

Coming here in desperation to figure out how to say my name? I get it! Just say “Hey-la it’s Ay-la!” Easy peasy.
