Equal parts strategist and storyteller, she helps brands uncover what makes them meaningful—and then brings that to life through bold, intelligent design systems that flex across every touchpoint. Her work with clients like Sonos, INFINITI, Harvard University and The National Ballet of Canada has turned complex challenges into clear, cohesive and emotionally resonant brand identities. She believes the way we do things is critical and partners with organizations to find the best tools and methods that lead to connection and change. A long-time advocate for thoughtful, human-centred branding, Laura is also a mentor and speaker who enjoys sharing what she’s learned (and unlearned) along the way.

Her clients span purpose-led organizations like European Forest Institute, arts institutions like Tate Britain and cultural bodies like the British Council. 

A leading advocate for creative well-being, she developed her Creative Ecosystem model to help fellow creatives reconnect with purpose and reduce stress and burnout. Her thinking is also reflected in her upcoming book, The Creative Wellbeing Handbook, which shares personal stories, research-backed ideas and everyday tools to help creatives feel more energized, focused and connected to their work. 

Emmi’s insights are grounded in experience and training, including Yale’s The Science of Well-Being course. She is a Happiness Facilitator and RSA Fellow, teaches a Domestika course on sustainable branding and has contributed to the AI for Human Flourishing think tank at Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science.

With over 13 years of experience in graphic design and art direction, Andrea has built a thriving freelance practice collaborating with top-tier organizations, cultural institutions and community groups. Drawing inspiration from her Colombian-Canadian heritage, her murals and design projects are celebrated for their bold colours and meaningful narratives. Andrea actively mentors emerging designers through organizations such as the RGD, Workman Arts and OCAD University. Passionate about empowering the next generation of creative entrepreneurs, Andrea’s workshops blend practical strategies with genuine insights, equipping designers with the tools and inspiration to turn their passion into sustainable, profitable careers.

She teaches within the School of Graphic Communications Management (GCM), as well as the Master of Digital Media (MDM) program at Toronto Metropolitan University where she helps students connect their technical left brains, creative right brains and entrepreneurial hearts for fulfilling careers in creative industries. Diana is also an advocate for living your most confidently creative life, having recently produced a course for Domestika on the topic. Diana has 150+ published articles in Graphic Arts Magazine, as well as through the RGD. She firmly believes that more problems should be solved by “lip-syncing for your life.”
