about her.

A little more about me

I’m a Toronto girl, born and raised, now living with my two bright and courageous daughters and my busy, supportive husband. I spent most of my professional life in the printing industry (primarily for print media) as a graphic designer and seven of those years loving and nurturing my own brick and mortar offset printing house. With starting a family as my goal, I pivoted my career and launched my freelance graphic design business in 2010. In 2014, with two kids under 3, I launched Her Creative Studio so I could continue to stay home with my girls, pursue my creative passions and help support my family. In 2016 I launched the members only Digital Image Library and continue to grow and learn in this creative space.

I’m a graphic designer, artist (watercolour, oils and pencil) and a photographer. I love a great tote bag, sans serif typography, being surrounded by hard cover books and most of all watching my girls grow and thrive. I see beauty in clean designs, lots of white space and everyday objects. I'm an introvert who is hopelessly indecisive, drinks way too much coffee and a splendidly bad cook but I’m devoted to my dogs, spending time with friends and one day mastering pilates. I love working from my home, surrounded by my family and am truly grateful everyday that this is what I get to do.

I hope you enjoy your time spent here, Sandra xo

Giving Back

I believe we can all help to make our world a better place. The organizations mentioned below are the ones that I am passionate about and every time you purchase a Her Creative Studio product you too are helping towards that goal.
Every month, proceeds from Her Creative Studio sales are used to sponsor two children from Mali, West Africa. Together we sponsor a eleven year old boy through World Vision and a seven year old girl through Plan Canada's 'Because I am a girl' Initiative. Sponsoring helps provide food, clean water, healthcare and education for these children and their families. It is my goal to continue to sponsor more children in need as Her Creative Studio grows. Thank you for helping make that happen! 

 

PLAN CANADA
Because I am a Girl is a global initiative that works to grow gender equality, promote girls’ rights and help millions of girls succeed and prosper. They work to improve girls’ access to clean water, food, healthcare, education, and protection from violence and exploitation.

WORLD VISION
World Vision helps children, their families, and their communities by responding to the root causes of poverty. Child Sponsorship works to build education, give access to safe water, create sustainable food supplies and access to things like medical clinics, vaccinations, training in disease prevention and other health care programs.

charity: water
Through ‘The Spring’ program, I donate money every month to benefit charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of the proceeds given to charity: water will directly fund clean water solutions.
It’s an organization that you definitely need to check out at charity: water
