Who we are

Triggers & Sparks is a freelance design studio in lovely Nova Scotia. We believe that good design should be accessible to everyone, and as such, our fees are aimed at providing quality services to independent businesses everywhere. We don't work for you, we work with you, in order to come up with a final solution that's exactly what you were looking for. That said, you might want to know who we are, so we don't need to wear red roses in our buttonholes when we meet you for coffee.
Sarah “Sparks” Semark
Grunt Labourer, Lead Browser Wrangler
Sarah grew up in the middle of nowhere and was never allowed to drive a car until she bought one herself. She claims that there was “nothing better to do” than teach herself how to build websites. She lived in Halifax for a year and still couldn't find anything better to do, so she decided it was time to get a shiny bit of paper from NSCC and start getting paid for it. Sarah worked as a graphic artist at HB Studios for two years, freelancing by night, until she realized that spending 18 hours a day staring into a light source might be bad for her eyes.
She tends to slam on her brake in the middle of the highway, yelling things like, “Wait, did you see that font?” and buys things because they have pretty packaging. Her favourite colour scheme is red, yellow, and black. In her spare time, she likes to sleep.
Dinah “Triggers” LeChaton
CEO, CFO, COO, Chairman of the Board
Dinah, once the silent partner of this op, has since gone missing and has become genuinely silent. Not famed for her people skills (she once bit a client's hand), Dinah prefers to assume a supervisory role, overseeing operations from her office on top of a 19" CRT monitor. Though her background is unknown, she has proven herself to be a brilliant, if militant, leader, keeping her staff in line through psychological warfare. In her spare time, Dinah likes to catch moths, sit in sunny spots on the floor, and knock pens off tables.
Marigold “Ampersand” Arnold
Client Relations (Schmoozer, Shmaltzer, Romancer)
Marigold graduated top of her class in charm school, and has since moved on to more practical applications of theory. She'll be your primary point of contact at the beginning of a project, and the person chasing you up for money at the end. Her job is, first and foremost, to make sure you're happy, and to make sure we can pay our bills.
Marigold's interests include power-lunching, running marathons, and smiling at people. Her dislikes include poorly designed websites, cold weather, and deadbeats. In her spare time, she likes to sell cars.
Marigold has recently returned to Ottawa, where she may continue with some of her tasks remotely. If you’re in the Government City and are looking for some design work, you may find it easier to get in touch with her directly.
