Edu Deo - Impact Report 2025

EduDeo Ministries believes education rooted in the Gospel is the best way to bring about whole-life transformation for children and their communities.After working with Edu Deo on their Lakou Campaign, I was approached to work on their 2025 Impact Report, which is a booklet that has all of the highlights, financial reports, and missional stories from the 2025 year.The goal of this report was to create a warm and welcoming entrance into their ministry year.

We're All Neighbours Here - Helping Hands

Typically in the fall, Helping Hands Street Mission (Hamilton, ON) puts on a fundraising Gala dinner to raise funds, share about progress and connect with partners and donors. But this style, a dress-up tickets occasion doesn't tend to be very inclusive to the very people that Helping Hands supports.In order to create something new and engaging and keep the event accessible to all, Helping Hands created the We're All Neighbours Here exhibit and campaign. This event features work from local Hamilton artists in many different disciplines and creates a experience to help your empathize with those struggling with homelessness.My task was to create 5 different posters to promote this event - the same overall style but each with a different image. The goal was to use these beautiful photographs shot by shirelkphotos.com, and create a design that is informative but also visually captivating as this is an artist exhibit after all.

You Are Here Magazine - with Take Root Creative

You Are Here is a local print publication featuring the people, events, and businesses of Uxbridge.This quarterly magazine is produced and designed by the team at Take Root Creative. YAH is an in-house passion project that was first released in 2023 to share about the people and events of Uxbridge but to also be visually engaging.

Featured above is the Holiday 2023 cover of You Are Here. I was trusted by my team to create an original illustration for the cover. The goal of this design was to feature little snippets of the articles inside through the characters shown.Inside graphics are found illustrations that have been customized and rearranged to fit our existing style.

TrueCity Newsletters

TRUECITY is a network of congregations in Hamilton who've come together for the good of the city.TrueCity came to me looking to design the fist edition of the TrueCity newsletter and to continue creating them throughout the year and beyond."It was the newsletter that rose above all other mediums: It’s physical. Visually pleasing. It travels lightly and can be passed easily from person to person. It’s durable and affordable, nostalgic yet refreshing."

Featured above is the cover first Christmas newsletter. I illustrated a map of Hamilton to include all 14 churches. Each church is also individually illustrated to add to the playfulness of the design.

SOCO Beach Project: Branding

The South Coast Beach Project is non-profit 4 month spring/summer Christian discipleship and community living experience for young adults. Participants engage in intentional community living with bible study and discussions while engaging with the community through full time work.

SOCO launched it’s first year in the summer of 2021, 4 months from May to August.It was in need of a complete branding system: logo, website, promotional, print, and social media design.While it was important to showcase the beach in this logo, it was equally important to not have 'cheesey' and 'tourist-y' elements.The window design is used because at the SoCo Beach Project, young adults are invited to step out into the world and be open to a new, growing experience through community. Having the open window design also gives the space to show the beach/summer atmosphere of the project.

EduDeo: The Lakou Campaign

For many students, school is more than just a classroom; it’s a safe environment where they grow in knowledge, faith, and character. EduDeo needs your help to create a new lakou: classrooms where children can learn, belong, and flourish.I created a full campaign package for Edu Deo's 2025 fall campaign, The Lakou Campaign.Our final designs lean heavy on the idea that children need a village to support them. The logo features intertwined hands working together to create a safe space for all. The rest of the campaign pieces feature the faces of the kinds of children that Edu Deo is supporting in the Dominican.Bright colours were important in this work as they connect to Edu Deo's brand but also to the colours found in many Dominican communities.
