About

Hello! I'm Robin,
(she/her) I'm a visual artist and freelance graphic designer from Edmonton, AB. I love creating illustrations that make you smile, laugh, or learn something new. I am always inspired by the natural world, with my main subject matter being animals. My goal is to connect with people, share knowledge, and keep them curious about conservation, equality, and health.
I enjoy experimenting with a variety of different media, never settling for a particular painting or drawing style. My brain is full of never-ending ideas (and puns) and I hope to bring the best ones to light, and continue to learn and grow.
Since I started my company January 2021, I've been busy building connections with fellow entrepreneurs and women-led businesses. Collaborating with creatives, discussing product with local store-owners, connecting with and learning from entrepreneurs, and other local designers. Also supporting local charities such as the Shane Scott Pride Fund. Using what I've learned to help sustainably grow my business and create better products for what fellow Albertans need.
I want to keep connecting with wonderful people, and local venues as a place to share my creations that keep people smiling and curious.

When I’m not working, I like to spend my time:
-
Downhill skiing every winter.
-
Practicing Karate (since I was 9 years old).
-
Driving fast in my Subaru WRX.
-
Travelling all over the world (my favourites are Africa and Peru).
