My digital shadow reaches far and wide. SamyciaWood.com brings all my ramblings and thoughts under one roof.

LinkedIn (for all business reference and full resume)

Twitter (delve into my more fun and whacky side)

Flickr (my creative photographic exploration)

Good Morning Movement (a Facebook group committed to enriching mornings for others)

I have been branding companies for over 15 years, from London, England and now in Vancouver, Canada.

As a Certified Graphic Designer (Society of Graphic Designers of Canada), I am in the top four percentile of Canadian designers with a masters in Graphic Design. I attended the Royal College of Art in London, England, the only fully post graduate art institution in the world. Since graduating I have worked in design, art direction, management, business ownership, sales training and marketing.

With a passion for leadership I aim to bring out the best in my teams often challenging them to grow to new heights; whilst creating great work on time and on budget.

I place great value on research and understanding. I like to roll up my sleeves and gets dug in to see what makes the client tick. Fully understanding of who they are, what they want to achieve and also their reasoning behind why they are doing what they are doing.

I have been part of the judging team for the Salazar awards for the past two years. I also enjoys giving back to the community by participating in portfolio reviews for students (Pogo) as well as professional photographers (CAPIC).

My specialties include: Branding, strategic creative design, creative thinking, leadership skills, entrepreneurial thinking, great problem solver, high energy and people say I have a great sense of humour.
