In 2021, my year’s contract with ethnomusicologist Dr. Marcia Ostashewski, director of The Centre for Sound Communities (CSC) at Cape Breton University, provided literally hundreds of creative design&writing opportunities, from Facebook posts, press releases, news articles, posters and announcements to a complete CSC website overhaul and designing a brand new website for a new cultural alliance, the Cultures of Sound Network. Below is a selection of some of the projects throughout the year, followed by some materials for clients other than the CSC.
