Hi I’m Haluka!
I’m a Designer and Art Director who loves the mix of quiet craft and high-energy collaboration. Whether I’m fixing kerning at my desk or leading a shoot with a full crew, I'm in my element doing what I love best. After 5 years of agency life working with brands like A&W, Shaw, McCain, and Destination Canada, I’ve learned my secret to creating great work is a mix of a sharp eye and deep curiosity. I strive to create work that is not only beautiful, but rooted in strategy and insights that make it relatable for someone like my mom.
