Canada.ca Banners
I was asked to source, prototype and present new images from the Brand Canada Library to the management team. The winning image featuring birch trees was chosen and implemented for the winter season replacing the fall banner image.
Canada.ca OPTIMIZATION POSTERS
After each Canada.ca optimization project, a poster is created that displays the data gathered before and after a GoC client's site has undergone the optimization process. These posters are made into 3'x4' prints using an HP plotter, as well as sent out at standard letter-size promotional inserts. In one case however, we created a poster to support the GCWCC Charity Chili Cook-off.

While I was working as a user interface designer with GC Tools (GC Collab, GC Connex), the management team needed some graphic design support for the yearly presentation to the CIOC.
AURORA DESIGN SYSTEM
The Aurora Design System was a project that was underway when I joined the GC Tools team as a user interface designer. I collaborated with the team's content specialists in the creation of persona mascots for the splash screen. I was committed to taking the persona mascots through various iterations until the team agreed upon a final series.
