Amber S

Illustrator and Creative Consultant

Like an overwatered succulent plant, I've grown in wild and interesting ways! Trained as a visual artist, I've developed an expansive career working as an illustrator, muralist, project coordinator and art instructor.

For the past decade, I’ve collaborated with folks to bring vivacity to their visual projects (from package design to event posters, book illustrations to bedspreads, stickers to socks). When I’m not drawing, I’m using my admin skills to facilitate community projects like collaborative murals, pop-up events, or to share calls for creatives on an Instagram account (16K and counting!). With an eye for colours and a taste for humour, I bring visual vibrancy to every project!

The Best Fit

I’m a great fit for projects looking to tell a story or to visually pop off the shelves. My work mainly falls into bright and graphic with mark-making, or detailed and intricate with line work. I’ve helped a lot of businesses bridge the gap from ideation to creation (I.e. with package design and printing details, figuring out how to show layout for an event, grabbing attention with a visual story in email newsletters, building collections of icons for any need) because I can help with creative problem-solving. I’m also able to help businesses looking to loop in the community or local creatives with projects (whether that be murals, activation events, applying for grants) in their space.
