Zephyra (aka Zef) is an architect by education and a visual artist, author, and group fitness coach by choice. She founded anARCHI design in 2012, a year after graduating from the University of Manitoba with a Masters of Architecture degree. The venture initially began as an architectural consulting business whose philosophy centred around analogue processes and upholding humanized craftsmanship in design, which naturally morphed into a visual arts practice over the years. Her artwork has been exhibited at numerous Winnipeg galleries, as well as in Vancouver, Canada and London, England.

Zephyra retired the anARCHI design pseudonym in 2024 after giving birth to her son, closing this chapter of her life to make way for new familial priorities and forms of inspiration. This shift marked a reclamation of her career as a professional artist, reshaping it to reflect the transition into motherhood and a powerful new approach to her art. Finding flow through simplicity drives much of her creative work today, both professionally and personally.

Zephyra’s focus has moved from heavily detailed architecturally-inspired drawings to abstract, minimalist works indicative of her new lifestyle and values. The artwork itself as well as the way it has transformed over the years truly embodies her philosophy of flow. Her unyielding commitment to the present moment organically generates art that fluidly evolves with her life’s changing cycles.
