Hey! I'm Sid Baar (they/them).

I'm a passionate creative based in Ottawa, ON. I specialize in creative consulting, web design and colourful photographs.

With over a decade of experience as a multi-disciplinary designer, I’ve had the chance to work with a wide range of clients, from startups to well-established brands.

I believe in designing for people first, and creating work that is intuitive and accessible.

I also work as an Account Manager for a design agency that works with social-impact orgs, Briteweb!
