KAITLIN BYRNE

When you grow up loving stories as I did, then you inevitably fall in love with telling them. From the smallest - often unnoticed detail - to the grand design of entire worlds, I have loved it all. I have followed this passion for the art of creation, storytelling, and creative solutions across the globe to learn and gain experience. This has lead me down many paths in life and I have seized any opportunity along this long and rewarding journey to refine my skills and grow in strength.

And now it has lead me from my home in South Africa to right here in Vancouver, Canada where I am pursuing an education in graphic and communication design from renowned institutions such as BCIT, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, and VCC where I am learning and refining my technical and soft skills. These soft skills are something that I have come to value as much as the technical and design skills that I have been avidly learning and I regard them as a vital asset to strengthen my work ethic and improve the quality of my projects and professional relationships.
