2016 was an exciting year for me. I had just left the 1-3 years experience category and entered the 3-5 years experience category. I was feeling better about myself as a designer and ready to take on bigger projects and my first client for the year was Paper Mill. A friend's mom had just bought this gift shop in downtown POS and needed a new logo and more importantly signage. I was so excited about this project because it combined 2 of my favourite things: branding and gift shops! See how it all turned out below.
