About Me
Calgary Graphic Designer
I am Roxann, a graphic designer and photographer in Calgary with proven skills in producing high quality work. I have an extensive background in web design and development, print design, and brand identity. I graduated with a diploma in New Media Production & Design at SAIT Polytechnic. I am currently a graphic designer / web developer at Full Blast Creative.
I have a penchant for working with not-for-profit organizations, and actually started my graphic design career volunteering with the Brain Care Centre, assisting with print collateral designs such as posters, certificates, and thank-you cards. I have also spent time volunteering as a photographer for Jazz YYC and the Calgary Film Festival.
When I’m away from the design world, I can often be found off in the mountains, honing my landscape photography skills. To relax, I like to drink tea or go out for food with friends and chat about space and time.
