Canada CODE was a site where Canadians could participate in the Olympic experience by submitting photos that showed their unique view of Canada. I was responsible for web graphics production for this site. I also helped produce their weekly email newsletter.

I designed these desktop wallpapers, a compilation of user-submitted photos, for Canada CODE, a website that was part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

From December 2004 to February 2008, I was responsible for web design and content management for official website of the Department of National Defence / Canadian Forces. During this time, I was involved with:
Assistant Deputy Minister (Public Affairs)
Department of National Defence
I maintained this intranet website from 2000-2008. In 2006, I redesigned the site to be compliant with the Government of Canada Common Look and Feel, and also to meet web standards in coding and accessibility.

I designed this series of boards as part of a project highlighting missions the Canadian Forces have participated in over the years (both overseas and domestic). The project included 22 boards and a legend, took over 6 months to complete, and was exhibited on the concourse of National Defence headquarters in Ottawa the week of June 28 – July 2, 2004. The boards now have a permanent home on the walls of the executive floor of NDHQ. Here are some board samples and pictures from the exhibit.
For Veterans Week 2003, the Department of National Defence wanted to put together a photo slideshow on a CD-ROM format. The final CD-ROM slideshow was played on a loop at various DND locations and remembrance events.
I authored the photo slideshow on a CD-ROM auto-play format, and designed the label artwork for the CD.
I designed this logo, which became the official emblem of the Canadian Forces Tae Kwon Do program.
This slideshow was designed to illustrate the strain on Canadian Forces personnel due to lack of effective strength, and the need to invest in sustainable troop levels. It was presented to the Minister of National Defence, as well as senior Defence department management and other top level government officials.
thesetunes.com / thesetunes.ca was online from February 2001 until March 2003, and during its operation was one of Canada’s leading online music resources – providing independent artists a showcase and a chance to promote their music. It was also a great information resource for music fans, to find out what’s happening in their community. Thesetunes organized and sponsored the Monntreal Fringe Festival’s music performances in 2001 and 2002, including a Battle of the Bands competition. We also hosted many concerts in and around Montreal in those years.
As a founding partner of and webmaster for the site, I was responsible for designing the site from the ground up, developing the logos and the look and feel of the site. I also shot video from some of the shows that we organized and added them to the site.

This intranet site was created in order to deal with the large amount of requests for badges and other visual identifiers within the Department of National Defence. A lot of work went into the site, from scanning in print versions of the crests, to touching them up in Photoshop, and even recreating some altogether from scratch with Adobe Illustrator!
