She designs just about anything from business signs to educational Web sites.

"I love it. Every day I'm learning," says Hamilton in her office, which she shares with co-worker Pete Harding.

Hamilton says she has been hired to help fill a business niche brought on by advancement in the multimedia field in the North.

Great Slave Graphics, formerly Great Slave Graphic Signs Ltd., started looking for someone to develop and manage a multimedia side of the company early last year.

They approached Hamilton while she was still in school at the Multimedia Training Centre in Calgary.

"The school kind of felt a lot of positions that were in Calgary were entry-level positions and they thought I'd be bored with that I guess," Hamilton says, adding that she thought it would be an exciting opportunity and a boost to her career to come up North and work.

Since moving to Yellowknife last July, she has been kept busy doing a number of projects with Great Slave Graphics, including the design for an Internet board game directed at young people.

The Big River board game is a re-creation of Alexander Mackenzie's trip up the Mackenzie River.

The user rolls a virtual die and lands on different squares that could lead you to a maze, a word search or a look into Mackenzie's journal to reveal details about his journey.

Each roll allows the user to interact with the game.

Besides the game, Hamilton, assisted by Harding, has worked on a number of signage and corporate image projects.

"I did the Rose and Thistle logo. Just recently I did the North Country Horse Stables, designed their logo, the Oldtimers Hockey Association. We did signwork for BHP and I designed our own logo. It's simple but we like it," says Hamilton.

"I feel pretty lucky that I've gone as far as I have at such a young age. But I also can't see it any other way," said the 28-year-old.
