Transforming Furniture
My favourite piece is the Expandable Folding Chair (video) showing the chair in action. It's as close to furniture ballet you're ever going to get.

Centre Tracks 
The Canadian Music Centre contracted me to design a brand and interface for their prototype of an online application which allows users from the film and television industry to search the CMC's vast database of music by mood descriptors. The design was tied to existing functionality, although a playlist mock-up for future features was also part of the deliverables.
Although on a tight timeline the CMC team was, as always, a pleasure to work with. The content and UI was a departure from my usual work due to the type of functionality and was met with great enthusiasm from this bot... it's always fun to have new creative challenges.
Path to Health
Path to Health is the health and wellness practice of registered holistic nutritionist, Michelle Weir. Michelle needed to provided a place to present her services and describe how live blood cell microscopy works. She also needed her clients to access her collection of resources to help support them as they begin their path to health.
This website provides a wealth of information – including some wonderful recipes – through a simple interface and clean layout to help her clients, of all ages, navigate the content. The palette I chose has a fresh and sophisticated take on traditional health care colours with a splash of citrus. Heather Godden, at Nine Design, created a wonderful logo that set the tone for the website.
It was a pleasure to work with Michelle and a benefit to acquaint myself with her approach to health. Needless to say, at the end of the project I became a patient.
Keen Technology Consulting
Keen Technology Consulting, a Toronto-based recruitment and staffing company, needed a new website that could integrate their new on-line recruitment tool and offer a fresh and professional design that appealed to not only their clients but also potential candidates.
The design of this website was largely directed by the existing brand which has a simple, geometric and contemporary/urban tone. Integrating the recruitment tool into the new website posed the biggest challenge on this project. Usability and design were very important when it came to forms for candidates to fill and job postings. Limited customization capabilities made it challenging to transform an engineers idea of a form layout into something more palatable and usable. Still, it's amazing what a little white space and colour can do!
Working closely with the fabulous executive team at Keen made this project run extremely smoothly and produced a final product that speaks clearly of their work and success in the industry.
Planet Kid
Planet Kid, a Toronto-based children's clothing store, carries a funky retro line of children's clothing and accessories (most of which are Canadian Made by moms).
It was a blast to work with owners and kid clothing designers Carolyn Murphy and Sara Fillmore. In the design of this site, it was crucial to maintain the owners sense of humour, wit and retro-style sensibility.
The greatest challenge for me was designing within the template specifications of the ecom software, without compromising usability and the overall design of the site. The Wire, the development company, and I worked closely to make the most out of the software. They were incredibly co-operative, informative and wonderful to work with.
This was truly a dream project for a Mom like me.
Three's Company Catering Inc.
Elegant design and simple functionality (including newsletter sign-up, easy to print menus and an on-line quote request form) has made this site a real hit with Three's Company customers and a dream site for my client.
Challenge: The biggest challenge on this project was creating a smart content management solution that didn't break the bank and would be easy for my client to use. With constantly changing menus and catering specials flexibility was a must.
Solution: By combining Macromedia’s Dreamweaver and Contribute CMS software the chefs at Three’s Company are able to update all their content, including photos, whenever they want.
