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.
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!
