Alberta Opera Touring Association - Alberta Opera needed a new site. We helped them with a Content Management System using Drupal. This system allows for growth and expansion and at the same time offers a great starting place for new websites that don't have a ton of content. As Alberta Opera grows its website, we will implement a "Kids' Club" that will include a media gallery and a forum.
Myhre's Music - Myhre's wanted a redesign and and update to their site. One of the primary goals of the project was to enhance the product imagery on the site. We introduced Myhre's to Zoomify which they have since used to great success to showcase their products in a way that not many other specialty musical instrument retailers have. Partners on this project include: BucketDuck.
Outback Country RV - Outback was looking to refine their online presence with a cleaner layout, as well as integrating some external website pages like their Bargain Finder page. We managed to offer them a solution that seamlessly integrated their external pages while maintaining the look and feel of the new site. Partners on this project include: BucketDuck.
Thermal Eye Technologies - Thermal Eye Technologies is a rapidly growing company that is expanding in the areas of Homeland Security. They were seeking a website that shared their commitment to safety using the best high-technology tools for scanning large vehicles. They also needed a solution that would meet a start-ups budget and allow for growth over time. We provided a custom designed website utilizing Adobe's Contribute product. Partners on this project include: BucketDuck.
Rich Media Projects:
Read with Me - Alberta Education needed some updates done to their Early Childhood reading learning object.

Ramp Interactive
Our work for Ramp Interactive has been primarily fast turnaround, simple solutions that have been integrated into their client's solutions. It's not the most glamorous work, but it is good to sink our teeth into some "in the trenches" work as a reminder of what all our big picture thinking must ultimately translate into.

Teaching:
Guru Digital Arts College - We have introduced a new program through Guru Digital Arts called "The Creative Process." This course combines skills learned in TheatreSports and improvisation with the soft skills needed by all digital media consultants. The process begins learning the improv skills and then extends those skills into the areas of client relationship management, conflict resolution, brainstorming, presentations and pitches, and team growth and sustenance.
