In a world where substances like psilocybin mushrooms, marijuana, CBD, and other psychedelic substances are legal, Sensory Psychedelics operates as a company specializing in the sale and distribution of these products. It functions as a dispensary, providing a variety of psychedelic substances to individuals who are interested in exploring their potential benefits.
My role was to create compelling branding, design eye-catching social media graphics, develop captivating product packaging, and design an inviting store front.
Branding: I crafted a captivating and distinct brand identity. The logo reflects the company’s commitment to exploring consciousness and promoting well-being through psychedelic substances. I carefully selected colours, typography, and imagery that resonate with the target audience, capturing the essence of the psychedelic experience while maintaining a professional and approachable vibe.
Social Media: I developed visually stunning graphics for Sensory Psychedelics’ social media platforms. These graphics effectively communicated the brand’s message, promoting the positive effects of their products and fostering a sense of community among their followers. I utilized vibrant colors, psychedelic patterns, and engaging visuals to create an immersive and captivating social media presence.
Product Packaging: I designed captivating product packaging that adheres to legal requirements while showcasing the brand’s identity. The packaging is designed to stand out on dispensary shelves, attracting attention and conveying a sense of trust and quality. I incorporated psychedelic motifs, and carefully chosen typography to create a visually striking and informative packaging design.
Store Front: For Sensory Psychedelics’ physical location, I created a store front design that captures the essence of the brand, entices customers to step inside, and takes into consideration Canadian regulations. The design features large, illuminated signage that showcases the brand name and logo, making it easily recognizable from a distance. To maintain compliance with Canadian regulations, the windows are covered with custom designs that incorporate psychedelic elements while still maintaining privacy.
Through my communications and graphic design work with Sensory Psychedelics, I successfully brought their brand to life, ensuring consistency across branding, social media graphics, product packaging, and store front design. The result is a visually captivating and cohesive visual identity that resonates with the target audience and sets Sensory Psychedelics apart in the legal psychedelic industry.

Destination Canada is a federal governmental agency that studies the tourism industry and boosts relationships between countries such as Germany, Australia, South Korea and the UK. The agency studies the tourism within Canada and inbound tourism.
As per Destination Canada’s website “Destination Canada provides intelligence, tools and resources that help the Canadian tourism industry reach domestic and international markets.” Destination Canada believes in the power of tourism and I do too!
My idea for this project was to create something for a destination that may not have been explored before and this is New Zealand. As I am a proud Kiwi, and Destination Canada does not currently research the inbound tourism from New Zealand, I wanted to create a booklet and presentation on reasons why Destination Canada should consider New Zealand for market research.
The key questions I asked in the research and brainstorming stage were:
What can I bring to Destination Canada?
What are the core values of Destination Canada and how do they correlate with my values?
Who is the target audience of Destination Canada?
What are the expectations as the Junior Graphic Designer?
What are the must-have design elements? (Branding)
What is the inspiration behind this project?
Through consideration for this questions and thorough research, I was able to create 6 spreads (including front and back) and a presentation using photos that I have taken myself in my travels around Canada and photos found online (for the New Zealand portion).
I used the Brand Identity from the Destination Canada website here. I wanted to make sure, as this would be considered a corporate communication piece, I would use the Corporate Destination Canada logo and not the logo used for Marketing Communications. I did use the logo for Marketing Communications at the end of the booklet for the physical version. I made sure to use the right brand colours – Red, Green and Black along with other accent colours (Yellow, Lilac, Brown etc.) I also wanted to put a spin in these branding guidelines and show my style and my skills.
Banff is pictured on the left, with photos of the New Zealand hills and a Maori woman on the right. This page is an introduction for the booklet.
Left is a diagram of Canada illustrating the most sought out regions of Canada in which NZers wish to settle using an NZ flag. Above is a table of statistics showing how many people claimed Oceania ancestry. On the right are photos of Bow Lake, Maori women dancing and a photo of myself and my friend Zoe, who is also a Kiwi.
With the “Kiwis in Canada” spread I wanted to show some statistics of how many Canadians claimed New Zealand ancestry. Finding these sort of statistics was quite difficult and I was able to get the data from an archive of the Canadian Census of 2016. There is a similar example of the use of white space within the branding guidelines of Destination Canada and I wanted to illustrate I can adapt to different branding guidelines.
The photo on the left is from the Fenland Trail in Banff, AB and the right photo is taken of myself at Lake Minnewaka, AB.
Ever since I was younger, I heard my mother talking about the big “OE”. This is called an “Overseas Experience” and is a rite of passage for so many young New Zealanders. We set off and call another part of the world home from days to weeks and it gives young people the chance to experience the world and challenge their beliefs by meeting so many different people. The IEC is a way these Kiwis gain access to the wonders of Canada.
I wanted to illustrate a cultural significance for New Zealanders and why young Kiwis go overseas. I also wanted to illustrate a popular visa option.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty of statistics, I wanted to illustrate the ports where New Zealanders are most likely to leave New Zealand and arrive in Canada. Most New Zealanders arrive in Vancouver and make their way to other parts of Canada. I included a graph showing the non-resident arrivals from New Zealand for the years 2015-2019. I couldn’t find any recent statistics as there was the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 may still be currently studied. Behind is a photo of Castle Mountain in Alberta.
I wanted to include the resources used in this project as it was very research intensive. To make it less boring, I included other photos from my travels around Canada.
This was a very fun project! I learnt a lot more about New Zealand and learnt that there really isn’t a whole lot of information about the tourism ties between New Zealand and Canada. As we are both Commonwealth Countries and the trade, political and cultural ties are very tight, Destination Canada should use this opportunity to consider New Zealand as a viable Tourism Market for research to grow the Canadian tourism industry.
There is limited information about inbound travel from New Zealand to Canada, therefore a potential market to explore at Destination Canada.
A tequila brand targeting 20-35-year-olds who enjoy a good time!
Drinking alcohol has long been associated with social events, hanging out with friends and parties; of course. But did you know that the logo design and packaging design chosen by an alcohol brand can determine who chooses to drink it?
This wacky and fun tequila brand, No Me Acuerdo, or ‘I don’t remember’ was all about creating good times and helping people form lifelong memories with their friends; even those memories that are somewhat foggy. Just one shot or mixed drink with this powerful tequila can transform a mellow party into a good time. But when I first laid eyes on the brand, it seemed to be missing something. The branding and ideas were great, but the visuals targeted the wrong customers.
NSo, I quickly partnered with my design buddy, Amanda Harbrow, to change this branding package for the better – Check out her amazing work Harbow Creations.
Targeting males and females from 20-35 years old, when creating the logo and package design for No Me Acuerdo, I knew we needed something that was both fun and sophisticated. After all, many of these target drinkers had tried tequila before, but not the authentic kind No Me Acuerdo produces. We needed a branding design that showed how they were different while appealing to their traditional Mexican heritage.
Rather than sticking with the overused red tones; so often associated with Americanised Mexican culture, we took a different route.
When designing this package, we focused heavily on Mexican celebrations, particularly Cinco De Mayo and the Day of the Dead. This allowed us to really navigate traditional imagery without needing excessive sombreros and tacos.
Through careful research, Amanda and I took some of the most recognised Mexican symbols and incorporate them into detailed product packaging designs. We merged our graphic design skills to create a colourful, powerful and eye-catching design that could stand out on the shelves.
We created four tequila labels in total. The elements we chose included traditional Mexican Skulls, Cacti, Lemon and Lime, and Maracas. We used colour-blocking techniques in a mosaic-style design to guarantee that the product would make an impact, especially when on the shelves next to other tequila products.
This colour blocking created a sense of character but allowed the product to be positioned on the shelves as affordable. This is an essential factor for most 20-35-year-olds when purchasing alcohol, especially from a brand they haven’t tried in the past. As the colours were all those which are usually associated with Mexican events, this graphic design also looked much more authentic on the shelves. It instantly gave off the energy that one sip could transport someone to Mexico.
Here is an email blast designed exclusively for Jetts Australia’s thrilling 8-week challenge marketing campaign. The primary objective was to entice individuals to join the challenge, with an enticing top prize—a dream trip for two to the enchanting paradise of Hawaii.
To capture the essence of this captivating campaign, I employed a palette inspired by breathtaking sunsets—warm, vibrant hues that immediately transport the viewer to a tropical oasis. I adorned the top of the design with swaying palm trees and vibrant Hawaiian flowers, infusing a sense of allure and wanderlust. This visual approach aimed to captivate the audience’s attention and evoke a desire to embark on a journey of transformation.
Jetts’ branding primarily embraces the energetic colours of red, black, and white and I strategically these elements throughout the layout to maintain brand consistency and reinforce the gym’s identity. The red evokes a sense of dynamism and determination, symbolising the commitment to long-term change within the challenge. Black brings sophistication and strength, highlighting the seriousness of the endeavour, while white represents purity and clarity, reminding participants of the ultimate goal—improved health and well-being.
To convey the nature of the 8-week challenge, I carefully selected photographs showcasing both personal training and nutrition. These images aimed to inspire and educate, visually reinforcing the importance of exercise and healthy eating habits. By merging captivating visuals with informative content, the design effectively communicates the campaign’s underlying message: empowering the community to embrace positive lifestyle changes and prioritise their well-being.
With this email blast, my goal was to create a captivating composition that not only reflects Jetts Australia’s branding but also ignites excitement, encourages participation, and fosters a sense of community.

The 21st Commonwealth Games were held on Queensland’s Gold Coast from April 4th to 15th, 2018. This marked the fifth time that Australia had hosted the Games, and it was a significant event for both the athletes and the host country. As part of the preparations and coverage of the Games, the Australian Team recognized the importance of social media in reaching and engaging with a wider audience.
To ensure a cohesive and recognizable brand identity, social media assets were created specifically for the Commonwealth Games Australia team. These assets included various types of content, such as medal tallies, infographics featuring facts about Commonwealth athletes, and Instagram stories highlighting the birthdays of players. The design and content of these assets were consistent with the overall branding elements and colors associated with the Commonwealth Games Australia.
Instagram was one of the primary platforms used to share these social media assets. Instagram allows for visually appealing and easily digestible content, making it an ideal platform for showcasing medal tallies, infographics, and other visually-oriented content. By leveraging the reach and popularity of Instagram, the Australian Team could effectively communicate important information and engage with their audience during the Games.
By utilizing social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, the Australian Team could amplify the coverage and visibility of the Commonwealth Games, reaching a broader audience beyond the spectators physically present at the event. These social media assets allowed the team to provide updates, share interesting facts, celebrate athletes’ achievements, and engage with fans and supporters in real-time, enhancing the overall experience and sense of connection with the Games.
