Lara Fisher, BA, MA
Director of Business Development

Lara started Bluefish Creative Communications in 2002 after observing that there was a shortfall in the promotional services offered to small businesses.

Lara’s passion for helping small business succeed in a big business world, offers her a wonderful assortment of creative projects. While working specifically with small business, entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs for more than 5 years, she has learned that the tools to make effective marketing material are largely unavailable and/or are difficult to find.

Her strengths lie in guiding the client through the process and leading a design project team to create original, visually pleasing and professional marketing material. Lara has a natural talent for drawing out the goals and aspirations of her clients, as well as for seeing order on a piece of paper (or on screen).

As the published co-author of Lo’go-ology™, Lara is seen as a small business expert. Her talent for listening and communicating effectively gives her an edge that many people overlook when searching for or working with a design firm. Good communication is the key to a successful marketing campaign or brand creation.

Sharon Mah,
Lead Graphic Designer/Illustrator

After graduating with distinction from Malaspina University-College, Sharon traveled to Whitehorse, Yukon to begin her design and illustration career. Although the community was small (and cold!), the work was varied, interesting and challenging. Her “northern exposure” ignited a passion for creating strategic, functional designs that are attractive and accessible.

Sharon is also an excellent editor and copywriter. She has a keen “ear” and specializes in creating messages that are short, sweet and targeted. In her spare time, she writes magazine articles and aspires to become a professional food critic!
