as often as i can, i take on projects through UNOnline volunteers … yep,
that UN… blue berets… stuff of Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, one
of the greatest Canadians.
every little helps and the rewards are so great. curiosity is on overdrive – learning about people, places, situations; meeting global neighbours who
are doing really important work … shining a small light with creative.
we all know how i feel about everyone
playing nice in the sandbox
as Canadians, we should know how very fortunate we are. if you don’t
or won’t let yourself see that… shame on you. my home and native land
is not perfect… but it’s close.

DESIGN + PRODUCTION + EDITING keghah at capea cameroon and i have been working on projects for a couple of years – and i jumped when he asked my help with their annual report. wonderful success they’re – making – in a very unstable part of the world.
CREATIVE + ART DIRECTION i had originally applied for an annual report for DEFENCE FOR CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL international secretariat in geneva. one morning i received a lovely email from Johan (in sierra leone) – and so it began! completing an a5 brochure and 4-a4 fact sheets. although some of the client stories and facts are difficult to fathom – the leaps forward and positive outcome of the work being done is inspiring. thanks Johan, Manaff and Issa!

a logo request from capea cameroon for an affiliated organization. africa strikes me as a beautiful, but harsh continent. so much potential, so many hardships. important and incredible work being done by caepa. thanks keghah!
CREATIVE + ART DIRECTION i reached out to CAEPA CAMEROON to help with their strategic plan. keghah sent me the docs and images… and we let the formatting begin! much like annual reports, there’s a lot of copy but that’s where design takes over. during the final stages of the project, i received an email apologizing for the delay – the region was in crisis and they’d get back to me with changes. i had to stop and think about that… for more than a minute. thank you Keghah!
CREATIVE + ART DIRECTION Sujay from BUTTERFLIES INDIA contacted me with a template redesign of a local new delhi paper. the extraordinary thing is – reporting, editing, photography and layout is done by kids, who will puzzle it together weekly. learning skills while while engaging their voices – incredible! thanks Sujay!
CREATIVE + ART DIRECTION i applied online at unv.org to a request from Phillip at PAAJAF GHANA. he reached out with a copy deck, images, logo and within about 2 days, this was completed and sent off to his donor for continued funding. incredible. the world really isn’t that big! thank you Phillip!
DESIGN, PRODUCTION + ART DIRECTION caepa cameroon requested a corporate brochure outlining accomplishments to date and infographics for specific programs. their site was also redesigned and organized. completed in association with UNvolunteers. thanks keghah!
