We help businesses and individuals tell stories using paper. We create innovative art & communications that excite the senses and inspire response.

Workshops: I teach workshops in cartooning, paper engineering (paper pop ups), paper sculpture and hand bookbinding. Workshops are for children in libraries, at risk teens in youth centres, professional artists at art centres, retirees at the art gallery and creatives at ad agencies and design studios. Gain skills to tell your own stories, or to train and retain creative staff.

I create bespoke design for print promotions that pop up and fold and move. My skills are in paper engineering (direct mail, invitations), paper art for advertising, and project management from concept to fulfillment.

Products:

Workshops: Want a 20 minute creative warm up before a business talk? Or a 1 ½ hour, half day, full day full of inspiration? Or building skills through a two day or ten day art intensive. Workshops currently available via ZOOM. Post COVID-19 I’ll be available for face to face workshops when we find our new normal.  

Inspire and empower creatives with valuable new skills and inventive ideas. Ad agencies and design studios are always looking for new ways to start conversations with clients and potential clients as part of drumming up work. Unusual ideas and inventive promotions are great door openers that can spark new projects. I have developed a series of workshops to do just this.

Innovative print promotions: A pop up building for off the plan property sales, a puzzle with a letter, an origami launch invitation for a new beer, a giveaway for a trade show gift bag. We translate marketing messages into distinctive formats that are noticed, read and remembered. Clients work with us for higher response rates and higher engagement.

Paper sculpture artwork: Showcase a product with the distinctive elegance of paper. They are designed in scale to your product.

Branded table centrepieces: for an event put your logo in all the social media pictures extending your reach. Several three-dimensional paper sculptures available, or choose custom made. One client chose a custom centrepiece of their own skyscraper with lights.
