Lori Dale, RGD, CDP, Founder
Who am I? Personally, I'm a mom, a wife, and a Jeep enthusiast. I love animals, coffee, and a bold cab sauvignon—things that calm my soul.
Professionally, I'm an experienced design professional known for my easy, engaging, and casual approach. In 2003, shortly after graduating from design school, I started Design Twist with the intent to help businesses in the Hamilton area build or refresh their brands and create complementary graphic and web design assets. That year, I found a full-time design position in the real estate industry, so Design Twist became a part-time freelance business. Then, in 2008, I moved to the higher education industry, where I've remained for over 16 years.
With more than twenty years of combined experience devoted to visual communications, I've specialized in graphic design, web design, branding, and digital marketing solutions. I aim to craft dynamic, strategic brands, produce impactful and polished graphic design materials, and create clean and easy-to-navigate professional websites for clients across all industries.
​
Proudly certified as a Registered Graphic Designer (RGD) by the Association of Registered Graphic Designers and CDP certified through the Design Professionals of Canada, I bring a wealth of expertise assisting clients in crafting striking brands, websites, and assorted digital marketing assets.
​​​
My full academic background encompasses graphic design, digital marketing, journalism, and communications studies. I have collaborated with diverse clients throughout my career, including small local businesses, large corporations, and startups. My contributions consistently offer innovative solutions and expert guidance for their visual communication, graphic design, and web development requirements.

Let's work together and see what we can make!
