Branding is one of my passions. I love the challenge of showing a product in its best light. I endeavour to work with companies I consider ethical. Real people who are passionate about their product and what it offers to consumers. For that reason I prefer to keep my operation lean. This allows me to offer a premium service at less than clients would pay to larger firms offering comparable work.
This is just a small sampling of some of my work. My career spans over three decades and my work has garnered numerous awards. But the biggest reward of all is seeing my clients succeed.

These were some of the feelings I was asked to evoke with the branding of Tea Desire. The campaign included logo, packaging, ads, in-store merchandising, uniforms and overseeing the design of the flagship store to maintain the brand integrity.
Lansdowne Shopping Centre
The campaign for Lansdowne Shopping Centre was designed to literally give the mall a voice. By enabling the mall to "speak" to consumers we were able to humanize it and give it a friendly approachable personality. As well, the centre is located in Richmond, B.C. which has a very high population of non english speaking and ESL residents so by using images instead of headlines we also reduced language barriers allowing the centre to communicate effectively with more consumers.
The Urban Grange
The Urban Grange will be a updated version of the original grange which was established in the 1800's. The concept is to enable urban farmers and gardeners to share information and ideas on best practices for growing food in urban environments.
