Meet Our Designers
Tanner Calder
Hey hey! My name is Tanner J. Calder. I’m a Métis graphic designer here at Good Impressions Print & Design in Fort Frances, ON. I have been working here since 2018. Professionally, I love working with vector graphics. I really took to creating vector art while I was in College and ran with that passion right into graphic design.
I started my education journey by entering a Business – Marketing program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, ON, which I completed in 2011. From there I moved to the new Interactive Media Development Program and received an Advanced IMD Diploma, being involved in the first graduating class of that program.
During my leisure time you’ll find me either playing video games, jamming on the bass with my friends, or watching professional Sumo wrestling with my wife and two cats
Christine James
Hello, my name is Christine James. I am a passionate graphic designer with over 24 years of experience creating visually compelling designs that effectively convey messages. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for aesthetics, I specialize in branding, point-of-sale promotions, and translating complex subject matter into concrete, visually appealing designs for customers.
Graduating from Sault College of Applied Arts and Technology with a diploma in Graphic Design, I have worked with diverse clients, from Toronto to the Northwest Territories.
When I’m not designing, I can be found gardening, on the lake, riding the wheeler, and hunting and fishing. I am always looking for new ways to fuel my creativity.
