Angela Barber’s Summary

I'm the Art Director for Canada's largest permission-based email marketing company. My experience with design for marketing initiatives has piqued my interest in social media and mobile design & strategy. I constantly strive to stay on top of marketing and design innovations, staying informed through RSS feeds, emails, mobile apps and widgets.

When I'm not at work I like to make things, from food to crafts and photos. Some of my free time goes to volunteer work at Evergreen as the Eco-crafts Leader. Making upcycled crafts with families & kids gives me a chance to get creative and innovative with natural and re-used materials. It's a nice break from pushing pixels!

Angela Barber’s Specialties:

Online strategy, Website Planning, Art Direction, Interface Design, Photography, Logo and Brand Identity Design, Event Coordination.
