Hey, i'm dayna
Graphic Designer based in the Greater Toronto Area specializing in packaging design and branding & identity. After spending years in non-creative fields, I took a leap to pursue graphic design, combining my lifelong love for art (okay, maybe obsession) with my ingrained need for organization & intentionality.
When I'm not designing, you can find me avoiding screens by spending as much time outdoors as possible, at the hot yoga studio, painting or hanging out with my dachshund.
