I'm Alana
I'm an Art Director and graduate of OCAD University's Advertising program. I started in the fine art side of OCADU but after a while I decided I needed a broader set of creative challenges to tackle...
Ode to a paintbrush
It all began with a paintbrush and a sketchbook. Although I loved it, pretty soon art didn't seem like enough for me.
I love to learn and see myself as a 'diagonal' thinker, walking the line between the academic and the creative worlds. I've always had a passion for the creative and curious lifestyle that the art and design communities foster, but I was looking for a field with something a little different.
Come to the dark side...
Advertising caught my eye because, like many areas of design, it's about building relationships with people. What do people want? What motivates them? What's their struggle? How can their lives be better?
These questions are what drives me, it's not about selling things, it's about a conversation. It's about enriching consumer-brand relationships and finding creative ways of connecting people to people.
