Looking to elevate your brand?

Here are a few of ways I can help. For more check out my services page and work page

Brand Design

Be it a full identity suite for a brand new company, or a refresh and audit of existing visual assets. I love diving deep into a brand and making something that feels just right. It’s always a collaborative process that aims to give you something you can be proud of, and also a brand that is usable.

Ps. I’ve even won a rebrand award and taught rebranding at the college level.

Layout Design

Long form documents, annual reports, sustainability reports, recruiting guides, and climate action plans are just some exampled of the layout design projects I work on. In both print and digital.

Digital Design

In my past agency life I was a digital art director. I love diving into digital communication and making the internet a better looking place. Be it a simple squarespace site, or something more complex with a whole development team, I bring a keen eye and an understanding of the digital environment to all I do, with an eye towards digital accessibility.

Packaging Design

Your packaging is often the first touchpoint an customer encounters with your brand. First impressions count. Q&A knows how to create packaging with shelf presence, and have even won a few awards while at it. I’ve designed packaging for beer (lots of beer), health and beauty, food products, and home goods. I approach packaging design with a sense of playfullness and an eye towards sustainability.

  • Helen Eady has the rare ability to create visuals that communicate the heart and emotion of a brand. The first thing I noticed after our first consultation, is that her mood boards tell stories and evoke emotion. Every shape, colour and text is created with intent and purpose that is authentic to the project, not just what is visually appealing. She is the best of the best and I highly recommend Q&A Creative to everyone I know!

I’m finally posting this project from a while back I did with @willcreativeinc - illustration for this mixed pack for @stanleyparkbrew . So much fun to work on! Thanks for letting me flex my illustration skills and play with one of my favourite
It’s Halloween week. Alice Cooper counts as a bit spooky. From a never finished abc’s of rock side project.
@wayneandfreda made my illustration into a pin and I can’t get over it! 😍
