My name is JESSICA WHELAN and
I am a DESIGNER, PHOTOGRAPHER and an AVID ADVENTURIST.
I am a graphic designer and tiny home designer hailing from Haida Gwaii, a rainy little island off the coast of northern British Columbia. I have been working in graphic design, website design, and photography for 15 years for companies ranging from luxury treehouse rentals to top tourism companies to the RCMP, specializing in design and photography work with tourism and HR companies, First Nations groups, environmentally based companies and NPOs.
“Jessica is an asset to any team she works on, she brings in a multitude of skills and knowledge from different disciplines into her work. Her energy, creativity and passion is contagious and inspiring. She completes her work with quality, care and in a timely manner proving her reliability and loyalty to the job on a daily basis.”

Ḵaats’ii Hla | Ḵáats’a Hla | This Is Haida Gwaii is a 116 page magazine with a print run of 10,000 and distribution across BC - and my favourite project of the year!

ADVENTURE BLOG: HAIDA GWAII 2022
Haida Gwaii is an archipelago of 150 rocky and rugged islands off the coast of Northern British Columbia with views of Alaska from the northern tip and ancient Haida villages scattered throughout the southern part of the island. I put together a video and a detailed trip report with photos of our two week journey to the edge of the world.
