Hello, my name is Kathy Hiscox, creative mind at Ordinary Press Company. Partial to amusing the lighthearted and antagonizing the humourless, I'm a sucker for inventive design, clever marketing and small business success stories.
I'm a small business supporter with a soft spot for simple product packaging, snarky copy and clean design. Ordinary Press Company launched in the Fall of 2016. I'm always looking for fun, freelance graphic design, copywriting/editing and small creative business branding opportunities. Having grown up in MontrƩal, je parle franƧais! A lover of The Beautiful Game, Steak Frites and the months of July and August, I wear too much black, my glasses are always covered in finger prints and someday I will live in France.
work + play
Please and thank you..
