About Owen / The short version

I notice the small stuff.
Then I make it matter.

The longer version

Design became my way of making sense of things.

I’m a graphic designer based in South Frontenac, Ontario. I create identity systems, print pieces, campaigns and digital experiences that balance strong ideas with practical use.

I’ve always been drawn to work that rewards a closer look: the structure of a well-made book, the clue hidden in a mystery novel, or the tiny alignment adjustment that suddenly makes a layout feel right. That curiosity led me to graphic design—and still shapes how I approach every project.

“Your first idea isn’t always the best. Sometimes the strongest concept is hidden just beneath it, waiting to be discovered.”

I graduated with distinction from St. Lawrence College’s Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design. Today, I’m an Associate Registered Graphic Designer and follow the RGD Code of Ethics. For me, that means thoughtful, accessible and responsible work isn’t a bonus. It’s part of the job.

When I’m away from the screen, I’m usually out on the water on my paddle board, working my part-time job at Ren's Pets, or playing whatever video game I'm fixated on at the moment.
