The Bentway, a growing public space in Toronto, needed assistance with some graphic design for their 2024 season.

ReFrame Film Festival has been bringing a program of local and international documentaries to Peterborough, Ontario for many years. It was a pleasure to return and help their small but mighty team with some graphic design.

ReFrame 2025 ran downtown Peterborough January 23-26, and continued virtually until February 2nd.
