The artful nature of the imagery I created for Preact is often best appreciated when it’s extracted, isolated and set apart from its context.

TART 2014
The artist Duncan Campbell has just been shortlisted for the Turner prize. Anne gave him his first US show at TART in 2005.
Duncan Campbell’s film “Falls Burns Malone Fiddles” draws out the processes whereby people do nothing and something happens. It is a sort of aesthetization of everyday existence visible in the hairstyles, the fashions and aspirations of the moment…
Update: Campbell won the 2014 Turner Prize!
As TART was conceived to exist for no more than 3-4 years (our first show was in 2004 our last, 2008), the website I designed has become the space’s primary archive.
Studyblue – Class Stats
The new Class Stats feature–aimed at high schools–for the StudyBlue web app starts gaining some traction.
Teachers want better ways to understand and motivate study behavior that’s directly connected to improved outcomes. With Class Stats they can seamlessly integrate StudyBlue into their routine without having to change curriculum, learn new technology or secure district funds.

Incarnations
While I ponder my next career move I [naturally] find myself looking back at previous roles and ventures… and assessing them — kindly for the most part — for what they taught me about this industry and my place within it.
Very early version of my studio, 03tilt’s website.
Last version of the website.
I feel cathartic but also have a strong sense of my mounting brio as I review my achievements, retool my portfolio, and have mutually persuasive conversations with start-ups about the next big thing.
Meeting new people with ingenious ideas, gaining insights into new businesses, markets, and product spaces has me bristling with excitement.
Helping to bring start-ups out of the design and customer experience wilderness is what I love to do and is what I do best:
SugarSync 2.0 beta takes on Dropbox with modern design and iDisk-like virtual drive… a minimalist and centralized new design… A handsome black, green, gray, and red color palette adorns the new app from head to toe… the new app is breathtakingly modern – The Verge
a fresh new interface… – The Next Web
…dramatically overhauled and simplified user interface – Macworld
I’m looking forward to my next challenge.
SugarSync Redesign
Over the past year we have been working hard at SugarSync on a complete redesign of the products and service. I started with an identity redesign–which rolled out in February–and the work on the desktop, mobile and web apps is due to launch (public beta) in mid November.
I will be adding many more posts and screen shots of the work as soon as I can after the press launch. In the meantime here is one of my designs for the (marcom) website.
Ruins in Process
Ruins In Process: Vancouver Art in the Sixties is a research archive and educational resource that brings together still and moving images, ephemera, essays and interviews to explore the diverse artistic practices of Vancouver art in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The images on this website are amazing, it’s almost as if they’ve been invented or staged rather than actually dating from the era.
