I have come to value every aspect of the design process from CONSULTATION, COLLABORATION, RESEARCH, DESIGNING and REVISING. 
​
Details of my work and skills set are on
my resumé, but my greatest strength is INTERPERSONAL.
I am here for you.

Championed and inspired OVER 800 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS + 4 TIMES WORLD'S BEST DESIGNED – for the National Post – their magazines and digital, and feel so happy to earn  the internal affectionate title: 'SPIRIT OF THE NATIONAL POST' which meant more to me than all the international awards. 

 

Also championed design awards for the Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette and other metro Postmedia newspapers – their magazines and digital.

 

The redesign of the Toronto Star in 2022 gleaned 12 more awards from The International Society for News Design as well as an INMA award for best use of print for the new TOGETHER section.

​

All these awards included Gold, Silver and Judges' Special Recognition from Canadian Online Publishing, National Newspaper, National Magazine, Art Director's Club of Canada, Applied Arts, and the International Society for News Design.

She taught me about listening. I began as a features editor and Gayle would draw out what it was I wanted people to think and feel about a story. Even when the story was, as we said, up in the clouds and impossible to draw down, Gayle was always able to tease it out and make it real — and, always, beautiful.
