Bold for Breast Cancer

Project Details: Branding, Print, Website.

Bold For Breast Cancer is an "outside the box" charity located in Vancouver, BC. When they contacted us with their project, they had no existing website or branding, and needed a website to help spread awareness for their cause. Over time, we have helped them with many aspects of their image, including their logo, print work and, of course, their website.

Project Details: Website Design

Manchester Public Eatery

Project Details: Website Design & Promotional Material

Manchester Public Eatery is the latest Venue for Sea to Sky Group. Opening April 2011 this public eatery has a amazing laid back atmosphere similar to that of a British pub.

Whiskey Dix Nightclub

Project Details: Website Design & Branding

Whiskey Dix is a nighclub recently openend in the Gastown area of Downtown Vancouver. Having a more "rough-around-the-edges" image to it I wanted to find something that wasa happy medium between your traditional glow of nightclubs and the grungy dark look most rock pubs have.

About Ashley

I have always been intensely interested in the art of image manipulation. At 14 I was digitally pulling apart images and making them more beautiful. I was hooked.

And so what began as a youthful hobby quickly turned into my life's passion, the more I learned about programs, fonts, layouts and colours the more I became convinced that this was to be my future career.

After returning home from living in Ireland I was determined to make myself a graphic designer. Talent (and maybe a little luck) saw me starting out in a great placement in the art department at CGTV Games as a Jr Designer. Here I had the sublime privilege to learn from two of the most talented designers who to this day I have ever encountered. Under their tutelage I honed my skills and so after a couple of years in a studio, like most designers, I wanted to venture out on my own... Ashley Schappert Designs, slowly growing, became my baby.

As I work my portfolio grows with me. I have had the pleasure to collaborate with a number of different designers who have all contributed to helping me shape my style and aesthetic. So like any good designer I know that my work will never be done.
