Debbie Parhar is Public Relations and Communications specialist located in Vancouver. She has worked with the largest CEOs and corporations in BC and helps them define their communication goals. Realizing the growth in communications online, she directed me to create a website and blog. What a treat it is to work with someone who can create communications plans and strategies! It makes designing significantly easier. Designing Debbie’s website made me re-appreciate the incredible value is simple, clean websites.

Miss 604

Miss604 is one of the most influential bloggers in Vancouver. Her social media reach is well renounced in BC and Canada. The most interesting challenge in designing her website was to maintain her current brand (colors, logo and avatar) but spice it up. I decided to give the header a very playful feel, with elements of simple shapes to symbolize the BC. The illustrations of Vancouver’s iconic buildings were the greatest challenge, and sometime these challenges turns into something special. I’m always happy to help out my good friend!

Always close to my heart, Camp Douglas finally got a redesign. Again, bringing in the power of social media, and wordpress, we were able to start leveraging a new online marketing strategy – always a key for non-profit organizations. I was very happy to bring in a vintage yet fun feel to this design. I borrowed some design concepts of the west coast colors with an African-type feel.

Autism Society of BC

The Autism Society of BC deals with families and individuals that suffer with Autism and Aspergers disease. For non-profit organizations like this, where division of labor is between minimal staff and sporadic volunteers, it was important to provide a website that they can easily update. Welcome CMS! Welcome WordPress. This website started as a re-skin project but as the usability of wordpress was a reality, the design turned into this slick, clean layout.

41st and Home is an emerging indie band in Vancouver, B.C. As a finalist for the Peak Performance Project, they were in need of a website to present their style and uniqueness. I created this wordpress blog for them that is easy for them to update. And with all independent musicians, it is very important to present their newest music clearly for online sales (via iTunes and CDBaby).

Part of the culture of TELUS is building up their ‘team’ or employees and motivating them to better themselves. The Human Resources department created this 5-part video series featuring the motivational speaker John Izzo discussing his book The Five Secrets You Must Descover Before You Die with Josh Blair, the Executive Vice President of TELUS HR. This website was an internal presentation delivered weekly for 5 weeks on the TELUS intranet. This was one of the first presentations I created for TELUS internal communications which provided High Definition Flash video on their network. Considering the impact of the message and the visual brand design, this website is one of my favorites I ever created for TELUS.

Direct Impact Media is event production company located in Vancouver, BC which specialize in creating unique event experiences using video and multimedia. Their design and brand were already quite good and well established but DIM ran into a similar that most companies do: a website not in a CMS and to much flash. So the goal was to tweak their brand to give them a new look, and to put their website into WordPress.
