Jaymie Campbell is Anishnaabe artist and writer from Curve Lake First Nation and currently resides in British Columbia.
Jaymie is the designer behind White Otter Design Co, which incorporates traditional artistry techniques with contemporary and personal style. She aims to explore connection to land and culture through beadwork, writing, fashion and visual arts. She strives to use authentic materials, sourcing from communities and knowledge keepers. It is important also to learn traditional skills in order to use them in her work and pass them down to future generations. Her work is inspired by her Anishnaabe roots, the land and her family.
Jaymie has had her artwork published in The New York Times, Good Company Magazine, Fashion Magazine, Uppercase Magazine and Native American Art. She is the winner of the BC Federation of Writers Non-Fiction contest in 2021 and was a part of the first ever Audible Indigenous Writers Circle.
Jaymie spent the earlier years of her career working on consultation, negotiation, capacity building and protection of land. She continues to work in community building, policy development and mentoring. She is a wife, daughter, auntie and sister. When she isn’t creating, she can usually be found hiking or canoeing with her pups, and loves to travel, write, photograph and go out on the land.
