John Kilbank

With over 35 years of experience in the creative and print industries, I have built a career centered on the intersection of design, technology, and strategic communication. Based in Victoria, BC, my professional journey is rooted in a deep understanding of the visual arts, having owned and operated Scribe Graphics for over two decades. During that time, I specialized in navigating the complexities of prepress and graphic design, helping clients translate their visions into high-quality physical and digital media. More recently, I’ve focused on the sales and marketing side of the industry, where I’ve enjoyed leveraging digital printing technology to solve business challenges and build lasting client relationships.

Beyond my technical background in the Adobe Creative Suite and digital workflows, I am a firm believer in the value of mentorship and community leadership. Whether volunteering in community boards or working as a referee instructor and assessor, I find great fulfillment in coaching others and ensuring high standards are met. This blend of creative problem-solving and interpersonal leadership allows me to approach every project with a meticulous eye for detail and a genuine commitment to collaboration.

As I transition into a new chapter of my life, I am eager to apply my diverse skill set to roles that prioritize customer connection and service. I bring a versatile toolkit, ranging from business administration to web development, and a perspective shaped by years of entrepreneurial grit and professional adaptability. I am looking forward to contributing to projects where my experience in communication, marketing, and creative strategy can provide immediate value.
