Welcome to my CV.
I’m Everyn Paige!
Currently, I’m the Senior Multi-Media Designer at Nishnawbe Aski Nation, where I lead the creation of visual content for community outreach, digital campaigns, and political updates and engagements. My role involves ensuring brand continuity while translating complex, sensitive messages into creative, impactful design.
I’ve worked across sectors—non-profits, government, and grassroots initiatives—collaborating with teams to bring creative projects and companies to life. I’m highly skilled in the Adobe Creative Suite, content management systems, and accessible communication practices. I also have experience managing budgets, media buys, and vendor relationships to support strategic communications and marketing efforts.
Outside of design, I’m pursuing part-time studies in Environmental and Resource Economics, driven by a deep interest in sustainability, responsible resource use, and the role of creativity in supporting environmental advocacy. I believe in design as a tool for change—and I’m passionate about using my skills to build thoughtful, values-driven work that connects people to ourselves, one another, and the earth.
