“If you’re going to do something, do it right.”
Who is YYC3’s President and CEO?
Hayley earned her Bachelor of Management degree from the University of British Columbia in 2012 and proudly adds her own flavour to every project she is a part of, noting that “a recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline and starting point from which to improvise… words have no flavour, you have to add your own.”
Drawn to subject matter including branding, marketing, consumer behaviour, and corporate social responsibility, Hayley honed skills in writing, design, creative and strategic thinking. As textbooks turned to ebooks, Instagram was created, and websites became mobile-friendly, Hayley was “captivated by how the digital economy would shift the way businesses, marketers, and consumers conducted themselves”.
Combining a passion for storytelling and keen eye for detail in design, Hayley’s mission “to discover and distribute stories worth telling” is realized through the marketing strategies she develops, and content she shares.
As the leader and director of YYC3 teams and projects, Hayley’s clients call her by many names including copywriter, website designer, video director, campaign manager, business consultant, coach, and “DMG” (digital marketing guru).
Outside of developing websites and managing clients and campaigns, Hayley loves to learn about the world through travel. She started while competing for Team Alberta in gymnastics, and travel now fuels her passions for food, fashion, and design. She enjoys skiing, golfing, rock climbing, puzzles, and board games.
“The earth without art is eh.”
Who is YYC3’s Information Design Leader?
Raquel earned her Business Communications Degree, with a major in Information Design from Mount Royal University in the spring of 2019, joining YYC3 shortly thereafter.
Raquel’s combined passions for design, videography, information architecture, marketing, and storytelling fuel her work at YYC3.
Raquel is responsible for graphic design and video production as YYC3’s information design lead. Raquel loves the variety of projects she is able to work on at YYC3, from price lists for lumber products to video courses for paramedical tattooing, and everything in between!
Raquel’s systems-thinking is an asset to YYC3 as she actively helps Hayley streamline client and team processes so YYC3 can grow and scale. Raquel is known for her contributions to team discussions and works closely with Hayley on all aspects of YYC3’s business, learning WordPress, Shopify, Facebook Ads and beyond.
Raquel describes her fashion aesthetic as “Korean streetstyle” and interior design style as “mid-century, modern, minimalist, with lots of plants”. Raquel enjoys listening to podcasts, learning more adobe keyboard shortcuts, working on her bouldering skills, and pinning as much inspiration as possible to her Pinterest boards.
“The secret to a good day is a good attitude.”
Who is YYC3’s Community Coordinator?

Natalie is responsible for the coordination of monthly content including content curation, caption writing, and scheduling on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google My Business.
Natalie is known for her “can-do” positive attitude and has quickly learned her way around the back end of new platforms such as Shopify, WordPress, and Google Analytics. She works closely with Hayley to learn YYC3 Best Practices, developing her skills to further her career in digital marketing.
In her personal time, Natalie enjoys all things music; particularly playing guitar, piano, and singing. She also loves to be out exploring nature or doing anything social with friends!
