Encore Graphics

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, so I wanted to reintroduce myself ☺️ My name is Gabrielle Giroux. I’m a Denesuline woman from Hatchet Lake First Nation (Treaty 10), currently living in Saskatoon (Treaty 6). Along with design, I’m a guitar player for the band @deadexgirlfriends , a rez dog mom, and an artist who works across mediums from painting to crafts. Since my last post, I’ve completed my Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction, majoring in Marketing, while continuing to design. I’m excited to now offer both design and marketing services ✨ My experiences in women and gender studies, marketing, pop culture, and the music industry have all shaped my approach to design, helping me create work that is bold, relevant, inclusive, and connected to larger social conversations. In addition, my growing connection to my Denesuline culture has deepened my commitment to providing designs and marketing that foster truth and reconciliation, ensuring every project I touch helps move us forward in a meaningful way. With over 9 years of design experience, fresh marketing skills, and an Indigenous perspective, Encore Graphics is here to take your brand to the next level. Whether you’re looking to refresh your brand, build your visual identity, or boost your marketing for the new year, I’d love to work with you! 🩷 Stay tuned for new designs, and feel free to reach out if you have a project in mind!

Design from 2024 🧡 two designs were created for the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (@siitlive ): an orange hoodie featuring a Ribbon Dancer surrounded by Treaty words and "Every Child Matters," symbolizing SIIT's commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. The second design, a white shirt, showcases an eagle over a grid of colored boxes, offering a year-round alternative to the orange shirt while reflecting SIIT’s values of Balance, Honour, Kinship, and Vision. #graphicdesign #indigenousart #indigenous #indigenousbusiness #everychildmatters

Early last year, I collaborated with @mtw_p2e to design Sacred Paths: Healing Through the Seven Sacred Teachings, authored by Mi'kmaq youth from We’kwistoqnik’ (Eskasoni First Nation). The book centres on the Seven Sacred Teachings - Mi'kmaq guiding principles for healing and leading a balanced life - and features cover art by Shianne Gould, with illustrations by Chanelle Julian, Isaac Jeddore-Gould, and Jayden Jeddore-Gould. I also contributed some extra illustrations inspired by the existing artwork and themes to create a cohesive, visually engaging design that honours Mi'kmaq culture and storytelling. #graphicdesign #bookdesign #indigenous #indigenousartist #indigenousbusiness

vinyl and cd design for @celeighcardinal 's album - boundless possibilities ⭐️ #albumdesign #indigenous #indigenousartist #graphicdesign #vinyl

Handmade promotional materials for @deadexgirlfriends 's @breakoutwest debut back in September 2025. Inspired by their debut album, take me to the after party., the designs included social media posts, business cards, and postcard-style showcase invites. The invites also featured lyrics from their album, which were later scanned and repurposed for lyric videos, tying the band's DIY aesthetic and creative direction together. #graphicdesign #handmade #design #indigenousartist #indigenousbusiness

sometimes love lives in the things you don't say ⋆｡°✩ boundless possibilities one year anniversary merchandise collection for the one and only @celeighcardinal ⋆.˚ ☾⭒.˚ designed using #photoshop, #procreate and #adobeillustrator by @gabbyagiroux #graphicdesign #indigenousartist

Designed by us, The Doldrums visually captures the emotional landscape of @ellenbraunmusic ’s album - a story of stagnation, effort, and eventual acceptance. Set against a pink and orange sunrise gradient, our charcoal-style illustrations feature two versions of Ellen: one lying still amongst the familiar mountains she’s climbed, and the other standing tall, hopeful, and gazing towards the horizon. Overall, the design balances somber reflection with a sense of renewal. Designed using @photoshop @procreate and @adobe illustrator for both digitpack, digital, and vinyl formats 🩷🧡.

In 2021, we designed Circle Back: Stories of Reflection, Connection and Transformation, an empowering publication created through the collaborative works of Indigenous youth leaders from both South Africa and communities in Canada. This book was part of the youth-led efforts of the @networks4change and @mtw_p2e projects and was guided by three youth editors, Hannah Battiste (Break the Silence, Be The Change, Eskasoni, NS, Canada), Andraya Daniels (Young Indigenous Women’s Utopia, Treaty 6, The Traditional Homeland of the Métis, Saskatoon, SK, Canada), and Bongiwe Maome (Girls Leading Change, Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, South Africa). #graphicdesign #designer #bookdesign #indigenous #indigenousbusiness #indigenousartist

In 2023, @ubcpress worked with us to design a visually appealing and engaging business sustainability plan for RavenSpace, a multimedia publisher of community-based works in Indigenous studies. 🐦‍⬛ #encoregraphics #indigenous #indigenousdesign #indigenousbusiness #graphicdesign #designer #yxe #nativeart

In 2021 I was contracted by @cataskforce to create a children’s animal care colouring book, Animal Guardians. The book was developed to address the need for an engaging resource on animal care with a focus on Indigenous youth and rez dogs. Compiled using @adobedesign , with illustrations drawn by @siobhanbayda using @procreate , Animal Guardians helps young readers learn the importance of compassion and care for animals in their communities. #tbt #indigenous #indigenousart #indigenousartist #indigenousdesigner #indigenousbusiness #graphicdesign #design #treaty6 #yxe #yxebusiness #illustration

my very first award nomination for my design work being a western canadian music award feels very on brand for me. congrats to all the other nominees and to @feistycreative for taking home the award this year! thank you @breakoutwest

Going to be posting a lot of old and new designs as I get back to posting more of my work! Back in 2021-2022 I was hired by @yorkuniversity to develop branding and a visual identity guide for their new project, @4therecord._ 📢 4theRecord focused on exploring risk and risk taking among young queer and racialized individuals. I also hosted a one-on-one workshop with the youth to share with them tips and tricks on how to create their own content inspired by the project’s branding and visual identity. #indigenous #indigenousbusiness #encoregraphics #yxebusiness #design #graphicdesign #indigenousartist #indigenousart #2slgbtqia #logodesign #branding #branddevelopment
