Chelsea (she/her) is an independent designer and illustrator based in Kemptville, Ontario. Her specialties are branding, illustration, art direction and web design, and where appropriate, bringing an illustrated feel to her projects. Chelsea has extensive experience working with a wide range of organizations and brands, and has worked both as an in-house designer and within agency environments. When not designing, you can find her with hanging out with her dog and cat, iPad in hand, catching the latest thriller series – probably snacking on peanut butter.
Ayla is a graphic designer specializing in motion design. She loves being challenged with communicating an idea through compelling visuals, and getting lost in the creative process is what really sets her soul on fire. Whether it be through motion design, videography or post-production editing, she thrives from keeping things in motion.
Stephanie Boutari is an artist and muralist based in the region of Waterloo. Her artwork is strongly influenced by her background in architectural design, often employing geometric abstraction, visual depth, gradients, and bold, vibrant colours to engage the viewer through a play on visual perception.
Boutari began painting murals while studying architecture at the University of Waterloo. After graduating from the master's program in 2014, she worked as an architectural designer while pursuing mural work independently. In 2017, she shifted her practice to art full-time. Her murals can be found in numerous commercial and public spaces throughout Waterloo Region, London, Toronto and other cities in Southern Ontario.
