Buff Canada Collections

BUFF Canada sought a distinctive way to visually celebrate Canada’s iconic landscapes in honor of Canada 150.

Drawing on the established style of my Canada’s Parks Posters, I was commissioned to design a special edition collection that captured the essence of these diverse regions.

The success of this initial collaboration led to the creation of a Canadian Collection in 2018, which sold out quickly due to its popularity.

The Canada Collection

This exclusive collection of designs is only available within Canada. Inspired from our stunning landscapes from coast to coast, these Buffs are the perfect canvas for Canadians and visitors alike to take along their best memories wherever they travel.

Soooo excited about these!!

  • The expansive western coastline
  • The rugged interior mountain ranges
  • Dense forests
  • Scenic lakes
  • The majestic Atlantic coast

The Canada 150 Collection

Before developing the 2018 Canada Collection, BUFF commissioned a limited-edition series to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary. In addition to the national collection, I also created a custom design for the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, which aligned with the Canada 150 celebrations.

Seven Regions. Seven Designs... (plus one).

The collection featured seven designs, each representing a distinct Canadian region and its defining landscapes and natural elements:

  • The North
  • The West Coast
  • The Rockies
  • The Prairies
  • The Great Lakes
  • Le Québec
  • The Maritimes
  • + A special edition for the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival

The BUFF Canada collaborations allowed me to merge illustration, storytelling, and national identity into a collection of wearable designs that celebrate the vast and varied beauty of the Canadian landscape. From commemorating Canada 150 to creating a follow-up national collection, each piece was an opportunity to honor the country’s natural heritage while reaching a broad audience through a uniquely functional and expressive medium. It remains a highlight in my body of work for its creative scope, cultural significance, and lasting impact.
