If you need something that goes beyond a mere website, please give me a call. I've done games, animation, motion graphics and applications for clients such as Cameco, CN, Calgary Stampeders, Government of Canada, ICR, PotashCorp and SIAST. Keep browsing to see a few! (click the arrow)

ThinkSask was a data-displaying animated application done in Flash and then converted to HTML5/JavaScript using Haxe. Go check it out.

The Wapos Bay website required maximum performance for video playback and future expandibility. Over several months I built a complete website framework optimized for interactive video websites with multiple scenes. Experience it!

While at zu I built the PotashCorp Flash slideshow player which synchronizes slides with video playback. See it in action!

This Shelterbelt Design Tool built for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is a mobile-friendly and accessible web application to let users create shelterbelt plans on a global map. Also built with Haxe — try it out!

The Lentil Hunter Map is a prime example of the power of the Haxe language with OpenFL. It is an application that uses an entire browser window to navigate a map and view videos. Mobile, Flash and HTML5 versions ensure that a wide variety of devices are supported. See it!

Winner of Saskatchewan’s Premier’s Award of Excellence in Graphic Design (2009). This book is the account of an RCMP agent among the Hells Angels. I named the book and desiged it to communicate the author’s desperation and to give a sense of his dangerous situation and lifestyle. (Click the arrow for more designs)

Ajax and Me is a glimpse into the lives of “boys being boys” and a fast-paced tale of adventure and misadventure written by a Métis author. I designed the cover and did ink illustrations for each chapter.

This is Andrew Fehr’s first collection of hilarious short stories about hunting and fishing. The cover needed to tell at a glance what sort of humour the reader could expect.

This book serves as an honest account of the role, risks, and motives of police informants. The cover clearly communicates how the book addresses the relationship between agents and their handlers.

BarCamp is an ad-hoc “unconference” in which attendees volunteer to make presentations in their areas of expertise. BarCamp topics are usually related to business, communications and technology.

I knew the irony of using Egyptian hieroglyphics for a typically hi-tech event would be appreciated by an audience that is used to being bombarded with brushed metal and glossy icons.

I worked with Evova Foods to create a product name and branding strategy for these tasty egg protein snacks. Ten grams of protein with only 110 calories!

Logo Design

This gallery carries artworks which are spiritually uplifting, so I used the imagery of medieval illuminated manuscripts to communicate this. (Click the arrow for more logo designs)

Coastal West required a mark which would be effective on book spines and allude to both their name and their philosophy of “making ripples” in the world through publishing.

AlteredEgg.com exists to provide resources to Christians in fields of creative communication. The egg design is symbolic of new life, and the intrigue of what lays within.

Living Hope wanted their logo to symbolise the treasure that is to be found in a relationship with God.

Ascend is a program in which young people intentionally live together and undergo spiritual mentorship. The logo alludes to Biblical mountaintop experiences in which people meet with God.

RDL is a Christian book publishing company. The old logo featured a cross and a book and needed a professional-looking update that could be displayed in a variety of sizes.

Agtron

Agtron needed a new design for their Joomla site which was attractive, mobile-friendly, and multi-language. They were very happy with the result! Visit the site. (Click the arrow for more designs)

Faith River

Faith River Christian Fellowship needed an attractive website that was easy to navigate, easy to update, and provided resources for both attenders and non-attenders. The Joomla content management system fit their website and podcasting needs perfectly. Visit the site.

All-West Dental

This design was done as an employee of zu. The clean look of the site lends itself well to the clinical nature of their practise and complements the logo nicely.

Mable Elliott Guest Ranch

To attract local and international visitors to a ranch where “horses give great hugs”, Mable needed a website with a friendly look that strongly communicated the western experience.

J.B. Black Estates

Kolisnek Developments
wanted a website upgrade when they improved their online marketing strategy for J.B. Black Estates. Confidant designed and developed a complete Flash website that was search engine friendly and easy to update. The high-quality photography needed maximum screen real estate to be the most effective. Visit the site (Flash required).

ICR Commercial Real Estate

This was a large Joomla website upgrade with a mobile-compatible design overhaul and much customised development to ensure the best experience for both agents and customers. Visit the site.

Transforming Teachers

This was another large Joomla website upgrade including mobile device compatibility. The chalkboard images work well to communicate the educational context of the site. Visit the site.
