It’s all about the branding

As a designer, I cannot help but fall for any business or product with strong and powerful branding. This weekend, I found a few impressive examples of this. One was a food market in Montreal which we had only just discovered, and the other two came from wine labels. It’s pretty amazing when you think about how each logo design is highly focused on the use of typography despite the scale of their message.

Pure Green Magazine - Issue No 6

So it’s out, live, in all its glory.

For every issue I get involved with, I learn so much about who I am, how I work and what makes me happy. Pure Green is definitely a labour of love shared between such incredible people and with every page we add together, it just keeps getting better and better.

Researching and discovering so many inspiring manufacturers and artists for my eco style picks is definitely a highlight for me. And seeing some of my favorite spots in Montreal in the magazine puts a smile on my face.

Thank you Celine, Erin, Jonathan, Anile, Bess and so many others for working with me so wonderfully and for making this magazine what it is today: BEAUTIFUL.

A little bit of Paris in Montreal

There’s no denying how strong the call of Paris has been for me over the last few years. After living in London for a year and coming back home to settle down, Europe seemed like so far away until now.

We took a walk in Old Montreal today. Once I started snapping photos, I began to feel the essence of Paris through my lens and my heart began to flutter. I think I’ve fallen for a part of Montreal that I hadn’t visited for a while and am now really beginning to appreciate it for its true character and history.

After our afternoon walk, we ended our journey at Le Cartet, a resto boutique on McGill avenue. We were able to pick up some fresh cheese, a cup of fruit and a lemon San Pellegrino.

I still plan on visiting Paris one day but after really opening my eyes up to our gorgeous home town today, I think it can wait (but not for too long).
