Amy Jackson - Nativelovenotes
I've always loved digital design and typography. I feel like a huge part of a message can be conveyed with the right font, colour pallet and phonetically spelled words and phrases.
Meet Amy Jackson from Nativelovenotes, her art is beyond amazing and we can’t wait for you to learn more.
- Denisse Peters, “Their Story” Creator & YBB Team
Let’s get right to it!
Amy Jackson is From the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, guest on Treaty 1 Territory & this is her story.
Name of your business, and how long you’ve had it for.
Nativelovenotes is less than a year old! We are an Ecommerce business based out of Treaty 1 aka Winnipeg.
What do you make, and how did you learn to do that art form?
I've always loved digital design and typography. I feel like a huge part of a message can be conveyed with the right font, colour pallet and phonetically spelled words and phrases. Nativelovenotes is super unique in the way we've been able to base our brand on Indigenous humour and successfully captures the cultural nuances of rez life. Other creators who inspire me are the rez lifestyle, de colonial clothing, mobilize, smudge the blades and other indigenous apparel brands!
What is your favourite item/piece you’ve made so far?
The bannock bum shorts! they make me laugh every single time.
What is something people think of when they think of your treaty territory?
I jokingly and affectionately call Winnipeg- Winnipeg First Nation. To many, it feels like home because there are so many amazing Indigenous people here!
What is something you wish people knew about your land?
We are rich in culture, hospitality, innovation and ripe with hilarious people!
What are some future goals you have for your business?
We’re excited to veer into printing our stickers at the quality that is difficult to find in Canada. Hopefully we can also offer premium print services to other artists at reasonable rates!
