It’s been a while since I’ve posted something and that was one thing I promised myself I wouldn’t let slip. Ah well, life happens. But I’ve been working with some amazing women lately and it just so happens that a few of them were vacationing in the same place that I was last week… in Palm Desert.

To quickly fill you in on what’s been going on these past few months (and posts to follow with more detail and projects), I’ve had the opportunity to work with CTV News Anchor, Tamara Taggart. It has been such a pleasure (and eye-opening experience) to witness firsthand the impact she has on so many Vancouver residents, campaigns and fundraisers . Her commitment to the BC community goes beyond what she does on air…and as a mother, a cancer survivor and advocate for so many instrumental foundations in the city - I’m proud to call her a mentor and a friend.

In addition to this, I’ve been fortunate to work with Sam Ellis & Hannah Bernard, founders of creative agency, Roots + Ardor. I sort of love that they, too, are determined to do good work with good people. We offer digital marketing services (social media photography, videography, and nontraditional PR) and create content that will help solidify a new (or well-established) brand. We want to help connect our clients to their community and tell their story in the most authentic way.

Overall, I am so lucky to work with other artists who can appreciate intuitive visuals and who also want to give back to society. And so, here are a few visuals from our visit to the desert (and Palm Springs, of course). It’s a luxury to be able to vacation and “werk” with people I do business with. Oh, want to work with us?
