In an effort to make their website accessible to all people, the University of Windsor began migrating their website from a Drupal 6 theme template to a more accessible Drupal 7 theme. I assisted departments that didn't have the time and/or technical knowledge to do their own migration. This proved to be a good time to trim duplicated content, out of date information, and to streamline design for easier access of information for end users. Notable migrations include: Public Affairs & Communications, Food Services, Research Ethics Board, UWin Card, Alumni, Student Awards, LGBTQ, History, Communication, Media and Film.

City Cyclery in Walkerville wanted a site that answered frequently asked questions: Do you fix bikes? Where are you located? What are your hours? In addition to that they got an online catalogue, with e-commerce functionality, a tidy service menu to illustrate repair packages, as well as areas to show upcoming event listings. To top it all off the whole site is mobile friendly.

Husband & wife creative team Steve Nunoda & Kathryn McKelvey were looking to showcase their artwork online. The result is a custom made, mobile friendly, Squarespace theme. I felt that it was important to keep the design low key, with an emphasis on typography and white space so as to not steal attention away from what was the most important element: the artwork.

This bike shop was looking to improve and grow their online presence. The first order of business was to establish some consistency between their different communication channels; this included their e-commerce website, email blasts, their social media, and printed media.
Additionally, training and coaching was provided to various staff members to empower them to engage their customers through social media.
The result? A huge growth in sales during the winter season, and huge demand before what would be considered "the busy season".

With over 100 race participants and hundreds more spectators, the 2015 & 2014 edition of Ice Bike were the most successful in the race's history. This was thanks in part to a well thought out micro-site and a social media campaign to increase awareness of the race.
The main message of the event is that anyone can participate: fast or slow, young or old; all are welcome. All proceeds we donated to the Lung Association of Manitoba. In addition, we also included logos and links to the Canadian Mental Health Association to help increase awareness of their organization.

A small group of fitness buffs and former pro athletes were looking to open an up-scale gym. Their main focus to start was going to be on hard cardio type workouts such as spin and rowing classes and expand from there.
The resulting brand is a simple geometric logo that can be interpreted as many different things, the word Fit, a cyclist out of the saddle spinning at a great cadence, a group of athletes "united" in a race against the clock, or even someone doing a push-up.
