✨ Some Projects Mean More
Gino knocked on the door looking for help with a business card for his stained glass work, and it turned into one of those projects you do not forget.

It was such an honour to learn how he got into stained glass and to look through photo albums filled with the many pieces he has created over the years. His work goes far beyond the piece shown on the card — from small tabletop pieces to double doors with a transom top — and that is just one small example of a much larger portfolio.

Lori photographed one of his pieces, designed his card, arranged printing and delivery, and helped him get started on Facebook.

For Gino, this is more than selling a few pieces. It is a way to keep creating, stay busy doing something he enjoys, and share his work with others in the community.

You can find him on Facebook, Instagram and locally at Brooklin Veterinary Clinic, but give him a few days to get more of his work uploaded and into the clinics.

The best part of this business is the people behind it.

✨ More Than a Website. A Better Brand Presence.
It was such a pleasure working with Stephanie on the Charming Beauty Studio website. What started as a one-page idea quickly became a four-page build once it was clear just how much her business truly offers — and it deserved the space to show it.

What needed to happen.

Stephanie had the experience, the services and the brand potential. Her online presence needed to catch up. From brows and makeup to facials and skin care, each page was intentionally written and designed to feel polished, calming and easy to move through, while giving her services the clarity they needed.

Built to do more.

This website was designed to do more than look good. It was created to feel authentic to Stephanie’s home spa brand, support visibility, strengthen the brand and give potential clients a polished first impression.

✨ Behind The Scenes
Good design is in the details. With Pantone colour matching, brand precision, visual hierarchy and buyer psychology, Lori gave this DeWalt ad impact. Every product required a precise clipping path to remove its background, while a custom Photoshop backdrop was built with the right number of pillars and contrast needed to make the DeWalt products stand out.

✨ Sometimes The Best Decision Takes Time
David first reached out last year and met with Lori in person to talk through his website. She gave him options, suggestions and space to think about what made the most sense for his business.

When he was ready, he came back.

He originally thought he needed a five-page website, but Lori streamlined and rewrote the content into one strong, SEO-friendly page that was a better fit for his informational website.

David had a clear vision for a black and yellow colour palette, and those colours were important to him. The final site was built to reflect his vision and give his audience the information they need quickly and clearly.

Now, visitors can quickly see who he is, what his classes are about, where they’re offered, pricing and how to get in touch — all in one place. https://chathamsonschooloftaichi.com

David was wonderful to work with, open to ideas and great throughout the process.

The value of a great website is not in adding more. It is in building what fits.

✨ Hi! I’m Lori.
I help business owners build brands, websites and marketing that help them stand out in all the right places. For 31 years, that’s been my approach at Graphic a la Design — strategic, experienced, detail-driven and never overcomplicated.

That experience brings value clients can feel — better direction, stronger decisions and creative work backed by real-world problem-solving. I always say it’s better to do it right the first time.

Smart business owners take risks that add value, save time and avoid costly missteps. I’m here to create branding, websites and marketing that do exactly that. No fluff. No unnecessary extras. Just intentional, creative work backed by experience, precision and maybe a little geekiness.

✨ A Soft Look With Strong Brand Presence
Charming Beauty Studio was built on the belief that everyone deserves to feel comfortable, supported and beautifully cared for.

Where it started.

Lori was so excited when Stephanie asked Lori to design the logo while working on Stephanie’s website build. A custom logo was the next natural step to tighten the branding and give the business a more polished, cohesive presence.

Designed with intention.

The beauty-inspired tools connect the brand to skin care, brows and makeup, while the line-art illustrations were hand-illustrated by Lori in Adobe Illustrator for a custom look that will not be seen anywhere else. Paired with clean typography and a muted palette of sage, warm beige, dusty rose, soft grey and black, the final brand identity feels calm, sophisticated and flexible across social media, product labels, promotional materials and more.

Stay tuned for the website launch!

🍿 From Story Lover to Studio Founder
Pop Bubble Productions was born from Nirvana Mohamed’s lifelong connection to film and television and her passion for producing visually striking stories. From early production experience to building something of her own, this brand marks an exciting next step in a creative journey that is just getting started.

Where it started.

What began with Nirvana reaching out to Lori for a logo became the foundation for the Pop Bubble Productions brand. Once the colours, energy and creative direction were established, Lori carried that vision into a bright, polished starter website: https://popbubbleproductions.com

Built to grow.

Using Nirvana’s submitted website text as the foundation, Lori refined select content and wrote playful headings to better reflect the personality, creativity and industry feel behind the brand, while giving the business a professional online presence with room to grow.

Forever proud of what Nirvana has built, and grateful she trusted Graphic a la Design to bring her brand to life from logo to website.

💕 Happy International Women’s Day
Today I’m celebrating all the incredible women in my life — the strong, supportive, hardworking, and inspiring women who show up every day and make the world a better place.

A special shoutout to my good friend and favourite flower lady, Del at A Thing of Beauty Seasonal Designs by Del . Thank you for always thinking of me — the flowers were such a lovely surprise and truly made my day.

To all the amazing women out there: may we continue to support one another, lift each other up, and celebrate the beauty of friendship, kindness, and strength.

🍿 POP WITH PURPOSE
When Nirvana, Founder and CEO of Pop Bubble Productions, reached out, she knew one thing — her logo needed to stand out on white, on black, on screen and in print. While Pop Bubble Productions is proudly Toronto-based, Nirvana’s work has taken her overseas to film festivals and television events, and the brand needed to hold its own anywhere.

Lori designed a mark that moves — strategic, memorable and built to scale. The bubble becomes action, beginning whole and then popping, a subtle nod to creativity in motion and ideas coming to life. Bright, confident colours bring energy, while clean, legible typography ensures impact from a distance and clarity up close.

Lori also developed the tagline, 'Film, Television and Beyond,' which Nirvana loved from the start — a perfect reflection of both ambition and vision.

Bold. Playful. Professional.

We’ve been in touch with Nirvana, and she’s currently involved in some exciting and promising projects — and we can’t wait to see what pops next.
