The medium is the movement.

Anti-Heroine Media is a creative communications studio that foregrounds storytelling for social change.

Disrupt with us.

Anti-Heroines don’t follow the rules. They challenge the status quo. They break down barriers and build new narratives.

Bridging feminism and design, we apply an intersectional lens to communications work, centering accessibility and inclusion to reduce barriers for those who are structurally excluded. We work with progressive organizations, institutions, and social enterprises that are fighting the good fight. From vibrant graphic design to thought-provoking podcasts—the medium is the movement.

Anti-Heroine Media operates remotely on the occupied, unceded territory and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat.

We want to acknowledge these nations and their historic connection to this land. We commit to working in solidarity with Indigenous communities toward a goal of reconciliation and decolonization across the globe.
