Know Buddies Designs
Graphic Design, Illustration, Production and Fine Art
Creative thinking. Thoughtful design.
An independent Canadian studio bringing ideas to life through design, illustration, and original artwork.
At Know Buddies Designs, I believe the most important part of the creative process happens before the designing even begins. It starts with listening.
Every client brings their own ideas, experiences, and vision to the table. My role isn't to tell them what their design should be, but to understand what they're trying to achieve and use my experience to help bring it to life.
With a background in graphic design, illustration, and production, I combine creative thinking with practical know-how to develop artwork that is thoughtful, purposeful, and uniquely yours.
Listen. Understand. Create.
It's a simple philosophy, but it's at the heart of everything I do.

Have an Idea? Let's Talk.
Every great project starts somewhere — sometimes with a clear vision, sometimes with just the beginning of an idea.
Whether you're building a brand, looking for a unique illustration, or need help bringing a project through to production, I'd love to hear what you have in mind. No complicated process. Just a conversation, a little imagination, and a shared goal of creating something that works for you.
Testimonial from Bob
Everyone has worked with talented individuals. Such an experience came recently for me when I worked with Vicki Peters. The project was to develop a poster of my search for a photograph of a World War One nursing sister. I provided some historical facts and within days that long dead nursing sister was "brought to life" through Vicki's talents. I found Vicki to be very responsive about suggestions and changes. Her talent with the use of artificial intelligence software is remarkable. I will long remember the very positive experience of working with Vicki and enjoying the finished poster. Everyone should be this fortunate.
