The Challenge

Standing out in a crowded aisle
The premium pet treat market is saturated with brands that lean on the same visual vocabulary: pastoral greens, soft script fonts, paw-print icons, and warm, muted photography. I knew Snarky Bark needed to cut through all of that — not by shouting louder, but by having more character.

Plot twist: before merry design existed, I was a creative trapped inside a "profit center." 🦕

Yes. Not an office. A PROFIT CENTER. You can already tell this wasn't going to last.

Somehow, they still trusted me with the Tourism Canada account — and honestly? That was the glow-up. I got to sit in pitch meetings with the big ad agency, storyboard wild ideas, and help dream up the campaign line that still lives rent-free in my head:

✨ "America Borders On the Magnificent" ✨

This was long before social media. Before hashtags. Possibly before Wi-Fi. Definitely before anyone called creativity a "deliverable."

But somewhere between the dinosaurs and the profit centers, I figured out what I actually wanted to do — and merry design was born. 🎉

Funny how the wrong fit leads you straight to the right one.

Partnerships, measured in decades.
My deepest client relationships span twelve, fourteen, sixteen years. Brand-building is not a project. It’s an ongoing discipline — and it only works when the same person is still answering the phone a decade later.
