The British Columbia Construction Industry Training Organization (BC CITO) is the Industry Training Organization (ITO) responsible for the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) sector of the construction industry. CITO leads and supports the development of skilled workforce to meet industry’s needs and is responsible for 33 trades programs within the ICI sector.

The BC CITO project was an overall refresh of marketing and collateral material including a website to broaden their awareness to the construction industry. They wanted the new website to be a simple to update ‘communication exchange’ with their stakeholders to get news, updates and press releases out to the industry easily and efficiently.

Broadband Network Three (BBN3), part of the SoMedia Group specializes in technology-driven and in-the-cloud video production.

BBN3 wanted a new website which better reflected the company’s direction. Phase 1 of the project started with an overhaul of the BBN3Video identity, then progressed into designing a new look & feel for their company. In the past their graphics had been inconsistent and so a style guide was written to help the internal design team stay on brand moving forward.

Reimer Alliance International is the world leader in volumetric mixing technology, starting over 40 years ago to solve the problems associated with remote location concrete delivery. The client wanted a fresh and bold new look for their expanding product line. The website was designed to tightly integrate with new print collateral, and designed/produced quickly to meet a trade show deadline.

To give credit where credit is due, I took over this job when a good amount of the underlying design was already put into place. The job was handed over to me to ‘brush up the GUI a bit’, which ended up being a redesign of a decent amount of the website, including the front page, models page (and rollover treatment) and the At Work sections.

Windset Farms is one of North America’s premier produce growers, with major operations in Delta, BC and a new massive greenhouse complex in Santa Maria, California.

The WindsetTV section of their website houses video content including recipes, which are easy to follow along with. There are four sections “Saturday Chefs on Global TV”, “Friends in Freshness”, Commercials, and Events.

Refreshing the design of the WindsetTV page was carefully thought out to incorporate new design elements while keeping the look and feel cohesive with the rest of the site. The website is a behemoth so changes to the structure and templates/grids could have large usability consequences. A lengthy research and planning phase including a full review of how users navigate the site took place before beginning the new design.

The goal of the redesign was to create a clear hierarchy of content, and keep it organized and clean while incorporating user recipe ratings, prep time, cook time, recipe plans, printable recipe cards, difficulty and number of servings. Logged in users can favourite, bookmark, rate and comment on each recipe.

Vista D’oro Farms is a culinary agri-tourism destination located in South Langley, BC on ten acres overlooking Campbell Valley Park and Golden Ears Mountain Range south of Vancouver. On the farm they grow heritage orchard fruits, culinary herbs and grapes all of which can be found in their shop & tasting room.

The purpose of the redesign of the Vista D’oro website was to breathe new life into their original website, which they felt no longer represented them. This website was done on a modest budget. I chose to make good use of the existing photos to let them tell the story of this hobby farm and winery, and let the products stand out on their own.

Project consisted of a complete redesign of The Salient Group’s corporate website. The company had grown, and wanted to present a more accurate representation of what the company had grown into. They also wanted to augment their news section, get their entire company’s press and media coverage online, and provide more information to buyers on both their residential and commercial projects.

I designed the original website for The Salient Group a couple years prior, but it was limited by what little content they had at the time. In the two years between websites many projects were completed and more were in the works.

We took advantage of all the new social media tools including Facebook, Twitter and flickr. An HTML email newsletter was also deployed in conjunction with the new website to deliver highly-tailored information and promote blog content.

You can learn more about this project on my blog > What I’ve been working on: Salient Group website.

You can view The Salient Group website here. (note: changes have been made to the website since my original design)

Intracorp’s corporate website was starting to show it’s age, it had been more than six or seven years since it’s original launch. They were looking for a clean, slick, and much more content-rich site than their old one. They wanted to really showcase their history and reputation of building exceptional homes and buildings in a very simple, at-a-glance way.

You can view Intracorp’s website here. (note: changes have been made to Intracorp’s website since my original design was implemented, some of straying far from the original concept  – please refer to my images for a more accurate representation of my work).

Website for The Salient Group’s heritage loft-conversion residential/commercial development on Beatty Street in Vancouver’s Crosstown area. This was a small site to showcase the features of this heritage loft conversion, the neighbourhood, floorplans and a gallery of the area.

As with all Salient projects, a dominant colour is used to represent the project throughout. In Bowman Block’s case, a bright green was chosen reflecting a translucent glass material that would be a prominent feature in the building’s entrance.

The website is no longer active, and therefore no live links are available.

Other notes about this project: Bowman Block’s page on The Salient Group’s corporate website (which I also designed) has some pictures of the completed building, which turned out amazing. The Bowman Block won a City of Vancouver Heritage Honor award for it’s historic restoration.
