Hi!

About me

About Me

Know Me More

I'm Adriana Dreves, a Paralegal Graduate in Richmond, BC

I’m Adriana Dreves, a recently graduated paralegal based in Richmond, BC (Lower Mainland).

I finished my Paralegal Diploma at Sprott Shaw College in 2026 and completed my 160-hour practicum at LMN Law Group in New Westminster. I worked on Wills & Estates, Corporate, and Family Law files, and it was the first time I saw how a small firm actually operates day to day. I loved it. What stuck with me most is that the details are the job: the right date, the correct version of a document, a file that makes sense to the next person who opens it.

Before this, my path looked completely different. I studied Visual Communication in Mexico City, worked in advertising and digital marketing for brands like Coca-Cola and OH POMP! Jeans, taught HTML and CSS, and spent four years as a flight attendant with Aeromexico. None of that feels wasted. It’s where I learned how to stay calm when things get intense, how to communicate clearly with people who are going through something difficult, and how to keep everything organized when a lot is happening at once. Those same instincts are what I bring to legal work now.

I take this seriously. The documents we prepare matter to real people, often at important or hard moments in their lives. I want to be the person a lawyer can hand a file to and trust that it’ll come back done properly. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’m looking for a Junior Paralegal, Legal Assistant, or Conveyancer role in the Vancouver area.

Project Info:

Over the course of 10 days in collaboration with Scribe (the Mexican equivalent of the much loved Moleskine notebooks) and La Agencia Viva! & La Doble Vida, we created an interactive live action billboard high above the streets of Mexico City.

We created living quarters behind the billboard and installed an artist in residence who set about decorating the large blank billboard with illustrations requested by the public. People sent in requests via Twitter and the action was broadcast on social networks, webisodes and live streams from a bespoke micro site.

I was in charge of the design and managing of the principal platform where people could see their ideas come to life and follow the life of the artist and her guests in lifestream. We got to have more than 70,000 users connected at the same time to see one of the most important Rock bands in Mexico, Molotov, play.

Project Info:

Mundet is an apple soft drink born in Mexico and acquired by Coca Cola.

In 2012, its sales were located in the center of the country. To publicize the product throughout the entire country we used the message "Well done does well." A campaign was created on YouTube to highlight the value and the details with 11 capsules of Mexicans who are distinguished by doing things well. For this campaign, we launched the first Brand Channel in Latin America where users could upload in real time the things that they considered to be well done in Mexico. From this, a Masthead with geolocation was created so that users could see the things well done that were close to them, obtaining more than 3 million impacts in a single day. With this campaign we won a Google Award for best use of creative platform.

I participated in the brainstorming, especially for the masthead, and made the design for the masthead and the brand channel.
