Alumnae Theatre Company tag (2006 – 2014) & current blog banner
Inspired by the skill and success of the 2004 National Women’s Hockey Team – coupled with the fact that
Alumnae was founded and run by women – I came up with an engaging tag based in word play that
was a little bit kick-ass too. Tag image designed by Suzanne Courtney.

Playing around
Give a girl the right shoes,
and she can conquer the world.
Love your shoes.
Fluevog campaign idea based on pairing a quote from a notable person with shoes that look like them. The tag “Love your
shoes” is what you’ll feel wearing Fluevogs – and what people will say when they see you wearing them.
Fire up your Nimbus 2015, kids.
It’s here.
Short print/online ad for The
Lockhart, a Harry Potter-themed
bar in Toronto. The “Nimbus” is a
brand name of (flying) broom in the
Potter universe.
Because one-quarter of people living
with HIV don’t know it.
Because nearly 25,000 Canadians have died
since the HIV/AIDS epidemic began.
Because the money you raise funds a meal
program, and provides social and emotional
support, and a sense of community for those
living with HIV/AIDS.
Because there are two new infections in
Toronto every day.
Because walking raises awareness and
makes a difference.
Why walk?
Walk for the departed.
Walk to make a difference.
Walk the walk.

REAL GINGER.
REAL TASTE.
REAL AHHH.
YouTube concept:
Sunlit boat deck of a lakeside cottage on a summer
afternoon. [quiet, gentle ambient sounds only: birds, water
lapping against the deck, etc.]
Grandfather and toddler granddaughter sit on the deck,
having a picnic.
He pours some Canada Dry from a can into a sippy cup.
He hands her the sippy cup, then takes a sip from the can as
she looks on.
GRANDFATHER: Ahhh.
Granddaughter takes a sip.
GRANDDAUGHTER: Ahhh.
They both smile, looking out over the lake and relaxing as
they drink their Canada Dry.
*Canada Dry Ginger Ale: Could be done as a montage or
create individual spots: Show Grandfather and
Granddaughter over time (milestones): intimate moments
during his retirement party, her college graduation, her
wedding reception – to the two of them back on the deck
with her child (toddler).
