For Osgoode Company, I helped establish the visual style and artwork for Park Prints, a poster series celebrating individuals’ favourite national and provincial parks across Canada and the U.S. What began as a single poster during lockdown evolved into a multi-product line spanning prints, apparel, and retail partnerships.
The goal was to create artwork that felt less like traditional souvenir design and more like a personal keepsake. Each piece needed to evoke emotion, memory, and place, while remaining visually cohesive across a growing series of locations.
I developed a bold, illustration-led visual system with a strong emphasis on vibrant, distinctive colour palettes that captured the mood and identity of each park. The artwork was designed to feel personal and display-worthy, encouraging customers to relive their experiences and proudly hang the prints in their space.
As the project scaled, my role expanded from hands-on production into creative leadership. I documented and taught the process to three additional designers, ensuring consistency while allowing the series to grow efficiently.
The Park Prints project became a foundational creative pillar for Osgoode Company, transforming a single lockdown concept into a nationally recognized product line.
