  • I’m excited to apply for the Graphic Designer role. I’ve been designing in the cannabis industry since legalization, working with Canadian and U.S. brands on promotional visuals, digital campaigns, in-store content, and motion graphics. This experience has given me a strong understanding of compliance, retail behaviour, and how to tell product stories that genuinely connect.

    I’m currently freelancing, but genuinely motivated to join a team again and put my full focus into one brand’s creative direction. I work well independently and enjoy contributing fresh ideas, strong execution, and reliable collaboration.

    I’d love the opportunity to support the Sticky Greens brand and help push your visuals and passion forward. Thank you for your consideration.
