Current Website Development Project.

I'm currently developing a Website for a young man who absolutely LOVES ants. We will be working together to create his Website, which he hopes to fill with pictures and videos of his ant colonies, ​as well as research reports he has written for school. 

To complete his Website, and teach him the basics of coding, we will be working on the Weebly platform.  
Make sure to visit us often as we work on our project together!!

Experience & Education.

0.1
Background.

​I am a bilingual copywriter and editor based in the Outaouais area.  I help non-profits, educational institutions and small businesses develop thoughtful and creative strategies to build their brand and effectively communicate their services and work.  I have worked in my field for over 19 years, developing a passion for concise and compelling copy within a minimalist web design and print medium that is aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.  I believe that this trend towards a more modern look produces a more tranquil and raw experience for the user while being fun, intuitive and innovative.  Recently, I have discovered my love of photography and am often found capturing life and framing fun.
