MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
Learn About Me
I started my design journey in a small town in New Hampshire, fresh out of university, working for a two-women vinyl sign and sticker printing company.
A lot has happened since then! My career as a print designer has evolved from hand-numbering stickers in Adobe Illustrator and learning InDesign on the fly, to managing vast image databases, developing workflows for entire creative departments, and producing hundreds of multi-page documents.
Today, I call Montreal, Quebec my home, where I moved during the height of the pandemic for true love. Along with my husband and our cat, I’ve embraced this beautiful city and continue to pursue my passion for design. I thrive on the research and development process — diving into trends, fonts, and color palettes to find the perfect fit for each project. I’m also passionate about collaboration, and love teaming up with colleagues to bring innovative ideas to life.

A Few of My Favorite Things
When I’m not immersed in design, you can find me exploring Montreal by bike, practicing yoga, or enjoying the great outdoors. These experiences fuel my creativity, bringing a fresh perspective to every project I take on.

My Work
I’ve been fortunate to see my designs reach a global audience, with products sold worldwide. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of seeing my work on shelves or hearing from friends who’ve spotted my designs in stores.
Words from Those Who Know Me Best
I have known Colleen for over 30 years. She is dedicated to her craft, a great communicator, and more creative than I could ever dream to be. Colleen was gifted with an eye for design and aesthetics, and helps clients bring their ideas to life with kindness and patience.
