Design by Nutmeg

Hiii, I thought I’d introduce myself again here since there’s some new faces 🧚‍♂️🦋

I am a big fan of:

📖 fantasy books
🦢birding
📷 wildlife photography (but I am an amateur)
✏️drawing (I’m taking life drawing classes at the University of Waterloo—highly recommend!!!)
🥾hiking & camping
🌳 slacklining
☕️ thrifting and going to coffee shops
👯‍♀️ pole dancing
🌻 going to the farmers market

I am proudly q***r, neurodiverse, a 🌞Libra 🌛Pisces ⬆️ Aquarius, Manifestor & INFP

I have a dog named Kibbie, he’s a 9 year old shorkie who is super cuddly and LOVES pumpkin, crochet sweaters, and belly rubs. I adopted him from my oldest sister Erin a few months ago (he’s not great with kids and she has 2 who also happen to be my fav ppl ever!).

I live with my fiancé Sean, my big sister Kristin and her wife Kim in Kitchener— lots of people ask us if we are sick of each other, etc. but living with your big sis as an adult is definitely the best thing ever 🥹 (they MIGHT be sick of my constant singing and dancing around the kitchen though).

My career journey in a nutshell!
🦋 2019: I completed my diploma of advertising & graphic design
🦋 I got a job as a graphic designer & marketing coordinator for a fair trade brand where I designed campaigns, magazine ads, packaging (for metal straws, soaps, etc.), store signage and managed their email marketing
🦋 2020: they laid everyone off so I started offering branding & website design to small businesses
🦋 2021: got my certificate of User Experience design from Brainstation to become better at designing websites, which quickly landed me a job at one of Canada’s top growing fashion brands as a UX Designer
🦋2023: got promoted at my job as a UX Designer; got to design webpages about Sustainability, a page about Renee Rapp😍 (q***r icon 😭 this was soo cool) and pages for International Women’s Day, as well as being a part of strategizing & designing a shopping app.
🦋 2024: I quit that job to travel southeast asia with my fiancé Sean! We spent a month each in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. We came home this summer and I rebranded this account to get ready to get ready to take on some really cool clients ⭐️🤞

OFFICIALLY INTRODUCING A NEW ERA…..

Design by Nutmeg is born.

After lots of soul searching, I’ve decided to chase my goals harder and deeper than before, to do what I want instead of what is expected of me, and to lay down the foundations that will inspire me and (hopefully) those that I admire for the years to come. I can’t wait to see where this business will take us
