Backgrounder.
About Our Studio.
​I am a bilingual copywriter and editor based in the Outaouais/Ottawa 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 20 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.

Our Process.
Together, we will reach out and connect to your reader by telling them your story.  We will ensure your project is elegant, functional and meaningful, and that your story is charismatic, engaging, unexpected and ultimately, sincere. ​​​​ Our goal is to surround your clients with your Brand experience, give them multiple ways to enjoy your story and the freedom to select how they want to interact with you. If they enjoy the ride, they'll stick around, tell other's about it and keep coming back again and again.

We break the ​language barrier by
writing simple yet dynamic copy
that captures ​and inspires.

At the core of your business is your story and getting that story across is imperative to your success.  It helps define who you are and how best to engage your audience, boost your credibility, generate more conversations, increase sales and turn prospects into buyers. ​It's all about writing compelling copy that captivates the reader and has them yearning for more.

We Omit Needless Things
​to Invoke the Vivid & the Elegant.

We provide high-quality, minimalist designs that are aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly, giving your business the web presence it deserves.  ​We optimize your website, effectively increase traffic and keep your clients coming back again and again.  ​SEO is not simply about meta tags and keywords, it's about building a content-rich, efficient, intuitive and easy to navigate website that is a cut above the rest.

There is more to writing and visual design than just an endless rearrangement ​of words & ideas, objects & colours.

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!!
