Design thinking at any scale

I bring creativity, clarity and intelligence to branding and business cards, social posts and postcards, 16-pixel icons and 16-foot wall displays. I am adept at creating eye-catching design across all media, with particular expertise in print.

Partners in doing good

You are making the world a better place — through culture, social change or science. I distill big-picture concepts into deliciously digestible words and images. Let’s talk about working together. And making your message heard.

Trina Koster Photography

Everyone takes pictures. But Trina Koster makes art from life. She distills the mood of an event, the essence of a person, the form of a product — all with intelligent staging and life-of-the-party direction.

Designers of Guelph

In 2008, I reached out to a few other local designers to meet for drinks and talk shop. Now comprising more than 40 designers, illustrators and photographers, the DoGs have helped coalesce Guelph’s design community, with monthly meetings and a public presence advocating against spec work. Members share tips and resources and sometimes collaborate across styles and disciplines.
