Yaaway Media

Yaaway Media was an online video sharing social network based on the non-religious aspects of Jesus. The quote marks in the logomark emphasize an exchange of ideas and communication, and represent the 4 books of the Bible chronicling Jesus' life. The cross in the negative space implies the underlying focus of this dialogue, while the color progression suggests a journey from discovery to acceptance. I developed the brand identity further with various print applications, icons and a website reskin.

Salazar Awards

In honour of designer/instructor Enrique Salazar (a founder of the BC Chapter of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada), this annual event recognizes up-and-coming design students. The poster features a medal—symbolizing individual effort & recognition—made up of Salazar's profile with text about "Nurturing Creativity", the 2009 theme. On the reverse side is a fun message inspired by his personal standards. Eventually the main graphic was adopted as a logo for subsequent Salazar Awards, of which I've been a guest judge in 2012 and 2014, as well as a winner in 1991.

North Shore Spirit Trail

The Spirit Trail is a waterfront-oriented, multi-use pathway connecting multiple communities. Stretching from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove, this 35km greenway enables locals to bike, skate, run or walk throughout trails across North Vancouver. The simple hand-drawn mark merges human traits with the distinctive lines of a North Shore landscape in a style that references the stone carvings of our Native ancestors.

Exchange-A-Blade

EAB (Exchange-A-Blade) provides building trades with high quality power tool accessories at competitive prices. The graphic shape surrounding the logotype is inspired from the carbide tip found in EAB's best-selling saw blades while the angled shape conveys an active, forward momentum found in their powerful cutting and drill products. StaySharp—their non-exchangable blade product line—was given the same slanted treatment and graphic A in the logotype thus creating a connection between both brands and reinforcing the sense of sharpness in the letterforms.

Nextbus

Nextbus provides accurate, real-time arrival info at transit stops and online, allowing users to track vehicles on their phones or computers in order to save time, stay safe and plan schedules. The 2-arrowed logomark alludes to the speed and efficiency of the service, while making the technology involved behind the scenes virtually invisible to the user. An alternate logo proposal emphasized the "bus" side of the name, highlighting the traceable route from point A to B.

The Roundtable

The Roundtable is an initiative to serve the calling and aspirations of Christian philanthropists, exploring what it means to give in the 21st Century. The handdrawn icon in connection with the elegant simplicity of the logotype bridges the concept of "ancient modern" by putting a human face behind the act of giving via modern means.

Logo Archive

I’m often asked to develop concept work in the form of numerous briskly sketched ideas or digital comps. Although the finished work may be completed by other creatives, I am always grateful for the regular work, knowing I am valued by creative directors and clients for my speed, flexibility, quick-thinking and wealth of ideation output. No design project is too small, where the need is just as great to convey the right brand personality of a given product or service that is uniquely theirs to own.

BC Tree Fruits

For over 25 years, BC Tree Fruits has been Western Canada’s leader in fresh produce distribution. A brand update resulted in a logo with refreshed typography and homespun graphic elements that celebrate their heritage, as shown in various conceptual applications.

Cree Leadership Consulting

Cree Leadership Consulting partners with organizations to build and develop strategic leadership, with the goal to improve leader and team performance from within, to collaborate towards a united front, and to gain insights preparing key staff for senior roles.
