Some of my work

Examples of what you can find in my portfolio.

Canadian Association of Wound Care

The CAWC hired me to design a new information architecture, install a new content management system, and create a refreshed look for their website.

Canadian Diabetes Association

I worked as the Web Manager at the Canadian Diabetes Association for 2½ years, during which time I headed the redesign and re-architecture of diabetes.ca.

Get Serious

GetSerious.ca was a microsite that I designed for the Canadian Diabetes Association's Diabetes Awareness Month campaign featuring the Association's newly refreshed brand.

Vestiigo

Vestiigo is a career site designed to simplify the job search market. This is one of the more complex sites that I've developed, perhaps more of a Web app than a website.

moflow

Marlene Oliveira offers both yoga instruction and copywriting services through her company moflow, and wanted a website that would promote them in parallel.

The Northwest Division

The Northwest Division is a great classic-rock band based in Toronto...Okay, it's my band. tongue wink

Scott MacLeod

ScottMacLeod.ca presented a challenging diversion from my usual clean style. I wanted the rugged themes of Scott's music to be reflected in the design of his new website.

Thomas Yu

Thomas Yu is an amateur pianist who has won numerous awards and competitions all over the world. He asked me to design and develop a website to serve as both a personal blog and a showcase of his work.
