The Voice of Bonne Bay is a community radio station in the heart of Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland. The VOBB team wanted a colourful, lively website that listeners would want to visit regularly. The site features live radio listening, the station's Twitter feed and programming schedule, and a weather forecast from a locally-owned weather station. This responsive design was built with WordPress.

This fully responsive design adapts to different screen sizes such as desktops, tablets and smartphones.

Aimée Brown is an interdisciplinary visual artist who works in Halifax and Vancouver. Her website was designed to showcase her recent performance and installation work. Aimée's printmaking background is an important part of her work, and the shapes used to structure the menu are inspired by rolled paper. The site is built using WordPress, so that Aimée can add news, portfolio galleries, and press articles.

Sketching ideas for Aimée Brown's website.

The Humber River Basin Project is a research project examining the natural and human history of Newfoundland's Humber River Basin. As the web designer and developer for this project, I created a customized content management system which allows project participants to contribute media files and and other data. I used WordPress as the basis for the website because it is open source, powerful and flexible, while providing a user-friendly interface for researchers and students working on the project. The content management system makes use of advanced WordPress features such as custom post types and custom taxonomies. We are currently adding content to the website, which is not yet publicly accessible.

The Humber River Basin Project website is intended as an accessible, organized and user-friendly portal into an extensive archive of historical material. The Map section of the site uses the Google Maps API to provide a geographic context for historical imagery and population data.

I designed and coded the timeline system specifically for this project, using JavaScript and WordPress.

jQuery is used to create an engaging and useful interactive experience. A magnifying loupe can be used to examine large images.

WordPress is used as the basis for a heavily customized content management system designed to suit the requirements of the project.

Robin Muller is a textiles artist and assistant professor at NSCAD University in Halifax. For this website, which features over 30 years of textiles and book arts, I structured the portfolio based on patterns found in Robin's work. We included a Press section for publications featuring her work, and there are videos of some of the recent collaborative projects.

Sketches I made while working on Robin Muller's website.

Marlene MacCallum is a printmaker and book artist in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. I designed this website to complement her work, which often features black and white photography, translucent paper, and lens imagery. The website is built using WordPress, which allows Marlene to edit and update the site content.

Martina Lantin is a ceramic artist who has worked in Baltimore and Halifax. Her work is frequently photographed on a white surface, and I designed this website to complement the photos. A slideshow on the home page provides an overview of her practice, while portfolios employ mouseover browsing so visitors can quickly view the work. Martina updates the News page using WordPress.

A Stone's Throw Glass is the studio of Urve Manuel, a glass artist in Gillams, Newfoundland. Urve required a website to promote her work and stained glass lessons. She was already blogging, so we made the blog a prominent part of the website. We also connected the site to her Etsy shop, and provided a map to help visitors find her studio.

Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts is an arts centre in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I designed this website for their Figurative Association symposium, which features several internationally known ceramic artists. This distinctive, theatrical design aims to unify the diverse cast of characters embodied in the artworks. This project included the design of the Figurative Association wordmark, and a postcard for the symposium.

The home page features a rotating series of close-up images, showcasing details of participating artists' work. The Figurative Association symposium website was conceived, built and launched in less than three weeks.

I also designed visual communications for the symposium such as a postcard invitation, an ad for Ceramics Monthly, and the poster above.

Expanding Bodies was an international conference about digital design in architecture, hosted by Dalhousie and NSCAD University. The website includes a registration system, a conference schedule and map, and information about various lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. For this project I worked with Melanie Lowe, who designed the logotype and print materials. The site background was inspired by student work highlighted at the conference.

The Centre for Cultural Technology & Innovation is a network of research projects at NSCAD University. The layout for this website was inspired by the wayfinding signage at NSCAD's newly-built Port Campus. As part of this project, I photographed the Port Campus for the website.

Shelley Miller is an installation artist in Montreal. Her website includes an extensive portfolio of artwork, including some truly incredible site-specific installation work that you should really take a look at. This website was previously located at consumptuous.com.

DeadCat Press represents the work of David Morrish, a photographer and book artist in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. This website uses the metaphor of an aged book to present David's work, which often employs alternative photographic processes. David has used "Fluffy" the cat mummy as a mascot for many years.

Some sketches I made while working on David Morrish's website.

This is a t-shirt design I made for Living Planet in St. John's, Newfoundland. One of my favourite things to do when I visit St. John's is to wander around downtown, and one of my favourite things to do downtown is to check out the new Living Planet designs. I sent them a few ideas a while back, and they printed this one. The island of Newfoundland is distinctly triangular and makes a great stand-in for the Triforce.

Thanks to Mark Adams for photographing the store display. The first print run has sold out!

Discovery Centre is a not-for-profit science centre in Halifax. I designed these and other visual communications while working there as a summer employee.

Shift & Switch: New Canadian Poetry (Mercury Press, 2005) is an anthology of avant-garde Canadian poetry. I had some work in the book and offered to put together a website for the project. This Flash interaction was the header of the website.
