Get to know Take Root Creative & the friendly faces behind it.
Take Root Creative is so much more than a multi-faceted marketing & design company. What makes us stand out is our people and the connection we have with our community. We believe in building strong relationships with our clients and giving back to the community whenever we can.
Over the past 10 years, we’ve not only grown as a team, but our look has also evolved over time as well. Use the slider below to see our original branding vs. the branding we all know and love today!
We’re friendly, professional, and easy to work with.
Caitlin graduated from the Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) with a Bachelor of Design and knew right away that she wanted to run her own business. A youth entrepreneurship program helped her launch Take Root Creative in 2010 and she hasn’t looked back since.
She has participated as a guest speaker at the North Durham Economic Forum and as a judge for the Hustle Me competition, the North Durham Business Idea Competition as well as the BYC Pitch Competition. Caitlin continues to mentor new entrepreneurs to encourage business growth in her hometown of Uxbridge. Along with running Take Root Creative, Caitlin actively volunteers in the community with various initiatives and was a member of the Rotary Club of Uxbridge for over 10 years.
Outside of marketing, Caitlin is inspired by architectural magazines, art history, used book stores and watching movie trailers. In her down time she loves to watch baking shows, knit, take care of her plants (a new hobby), play board games and spend as much time as possible with her husband and two kids.
Hayley is a total bookworm, geocacher, self-proclaimed Scrabble master, Swiftie and mom to arguably the cutest toddler around.
Hayley graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree from the University of Guelph and completed her post-graduate education at Durham College. Before joining the Take Root Creative team in March 2015, she was the Program Facilitator at a local non-profit organization. Hayley is thrilled to work in and give back to the community she grew up in.
Kyle brings more than 13 years of experience in design and digital marketing to Take Root Creative, studying at Durham College for Graphic Design and at Marketing Ryerson University. Prior to coming on board with TRC, Kyle worked with manufacturers and dealers in the Canadian automotive industry to develop multi-channel marketing strategies, as well as designed all-encompassing packaging solutions for Tier-1 brands in the consumer goods and retail packaging industries.
Alongside his work in design and strategy development, Kyle’s an award-winning commercial and fine art photographer whose fine art landscape photography has been featured in publications including Applied Arts and Outdoor Canada magazine. Time outside of work will usually find Kyle with his Yorkie; Hank, or somewhere in the wilderness documenting and photographing much of Canada’s wildlife.
After several years working in sales and team management roles, Gerald changed course for design and creative marketing.
Gerald graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland, where he majored in Visual Arts accompanied with a minor in Art History. There he focused on oil painting, sculpture, photography and design. Never straying from his creative endeavors, he paints landscapes in his home studio following traditional painting methods. Drawn to nature, inspiration is taken from his photography and plein air studies – hauling his painting easel with him on hiking and camping trips throughout the year. Everyday, he can be found in Uxbridge on any one of the amazing trails with his Bernese Mountain Dog, Arwen or at home with his guitar and a cup of tea.
Holly earned her advanced diploma from Durham College’s 3-year Graphic Design Program, and since 2014 has been an integral part of the Take Root Creative team – bringing her deep passion for design to every project. Holly continuously strives to keep on top of design trends and is always searching for podcasts and videos where she can gain even more knowledge about the industry.
In addition to her professional endeavours, Holly is a mom of one and pet mom to a dog (Titus) and two cats (Sia and Ivy). Beyond her role as a working mom, she channels her love for animals into her artwork, specializing in realistic pet portraits and captivating wildlife creations whenever she can find the time.
