SunLitCity Designs is my personal brand. I wanted the logo to feel like a reflection of who I am and the kind of art I create. The inspiration comes from my name, Sha Kina, which means "sunrise" in the Kluane First Nation language. That connection to my heritage felt like the perfect foundation for the design because it symbolizes warmth, light, and fresh beginnings, all things that resonate with me

Aqua Guard is a fictional nonprofit with a mission to help provide clean, safe water to people all over the world. They do this through innovative filtration systems, pipeline installations, educational seminars on water conservation, and emergency relief programs. Even though access to clean water is one of the most crucial issues of our time, it’s often overshadowed by other global challenges. The reality is that 1 in 11 people worldwide still don’t have access to safe water, and that’s a serious problem.

This collaborative campaign was created to promote DJ Thndr, a talented wedding DJ who excels in his field but lacked a memorable brand to represent him. While DJ Thndr has the skills and experience to stand out in the industry, his branding didn’t fully capture his unique energy and style. The goal of this project was to craft a brand identity that felt personal and authentic to DJ Thndr while also designing promotional materials to help him connect with his audience

The Shape of Life is an ongoing project designed to connect my First Nation art style with the world through animals. It’s more than just an art series, it’s a way to preserve and share the beauty of traditional First Nation techniques, which are at risk of disappearing if they’re not actively practiced and passed down. This project is my way of celebrating and revitalizing this unique art form while making it accessible to everyone.
