GRAPHIC DESIGN
Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way
Written by Marilyn James and Taress Alexis, both editions of Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way weave together a collection of the Sinixt Nation's ancestral stories, traditional knowledge, and original artworks and discussions created by both Indigenous and settlers artists and writers. These dynamic publications encourages their readers to engage with each stories in various depth and educate themselves about the true Sinixt history.
It was my honour to help bring these books together through my graphic design skills.
Mother Reindeer's Journey to the Sun:
A Tribute to Mountain Caribou
Written by Kathy Sager and illustrated by Kristen Scholfield-Sweet, Mother Reindeer's Journey to the Sun is a children's book following Mother Reindeer on the Winter Solstice and her journey to bring light and warmth back to everyone in the North. This book also raises awareness about the mountain caribou.
Helping bring to life Kathy and Kristen's vision was a pleasure.
