About Me
Red Dahlia
In the beginning of my career as a designer, I was always asked “What makes you unique?” “What sets you apart from all the other artists and designers?”
I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunities to expand my knowledge into a wide variety of industries. Working with and networking with people from all walks of life. Always taking the time to learn what I ‘didn’t know’ and using that to study and implement any new skill I was up against. I’ve never turned down a good opportunity for growth.
From working with financial institutions (marketing 4 years) across Canada, teaching at college level in New Brunswick (2 years), to acting and creating monsters for haunted attractions and running an online store of custom artwork – I have now been tattooing since 2018 and reading Tarot professionally and publicly at a local occult shop. Recently I self published and printed my first adult colouring book – The Hidden Company. Practising living my truth.
Conjure your craft | Art & Intuition
As a digital witch, I create a lot of my work from nothing but an idea and a program. Bringing the unseen into existence, visualizing a thought that lurks within the
liminial space of reality and the veil – the in-between. I try to keep my creative art lingering somewhere on the cusp of darkness and light, pushing the threshold between what some see as grotesque, and others find beautiful.
My design work is clear and conscious – designed with purpose, delivering a consistent message across all mediums. Your businesses outward image is important, and the visual appeal does not have to suffer in favor for usability or functionality regardless of industry.

Red Dahlia
Everything I create has a meaning and a purpose. Why shouldn’t my brand reflect that and my adaptability?
Having a background in floral design – I chose my favorite eye-catching, intricate flower as a representation for my business. The Dahlia flower is one of the only flowers to have as many as 23 natural colour variations (and thousands of human-altered variations) developed in order to compete with other foliage for pollination due to not having a scent.
Acting as the ‘billboard’ of the flower world, it sports a unique radiant beauty and depth that other flowers can not be compared and yet still elegant and distinguished.
Since the Victorian era, flowers have been given – and still are – to portray and deliver subliminal messages – to represent an idea or a feeling.
The colour red is the colour of life, change, growth and passion – and is one of the highest vibrating colours in the spectrum
