From the age of 15, Laura K Beauparlant (nee Kristensen) wanted to be a graphic designer. After high school, she enrolled in the renowned Graphic Design program at Oakville's Sheridan College.

It was in her second year that disaster struck. Laura was in a car hit head-on by a drunk driver. Her left leg was shattered. She underwent 9 operations and almost lost the leg to infection. It took 2 years of intensive rehabilitation - but with determination, she eventually made a complete recovery. Laura came through the experience with a desire to live each day to the fullest. And through her designs and charity work, she helps other people celebrate their individuality as well.

In her work for both individuals and businesses, Laura builds a relationship with her clients based on reliability, personality and quality. She listens to what her clients needs are and integrates her unmistakable style into their vision. As one client put it: "our invitations were obviously her and perfectly us."

Laura's passion for travel is another key stylistic influence. After college, she lived for several years in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was there that exposure to the simple, clean lines of the Scandinavian style first influenced the distinctive look of her work.

Laura married Philippe in June of 2004 and they live happily in Toronto with their young son, Sébastien.
