2015 Canada Winter Games Mascot

2015 Canada Winter Games Mascot

The Canada Winter Games is a premiere event in our nation. Prince George hosted the 2015 games. We were honoured to be selected to design the games mascot Nanguz (Nan)(guz)!

In a terrific piece of community engagement, a contest was held to create the story for Nanguz, and that story was the cornerstone our our work to create the character. Nanguz has more poses that we can show here, since he plays almost every sport, and has the Northern Lights reflected in his fur.

An interesting side note – we got to consult just a wee bit with the mascot-suit people, and the stuffy production. A most interesting project!

We like to think maybe just a little… that Nanguz is the long lost cousin of Ardee – the 2006 Alberta Summer Games Mascot we designed for Red Deer in 2005 – also a fox. Who knows?

People often want to see my workspace. It’s not People often want to see my workspace. It’s not the prettiest place these days, but I’ve got a lot to share. Like the hand blown glass globe I’ve had for a looooong time. I often stare into it for inspiration. Or hold down paper. One of those.
I am a graphic designer and I am really good at fe I am a graphic designer and I am really good at feeling the pulse of businesses. People ask me what do you do? Well, I do a lot. I love illustration and identity work. But I do websites, interpretive signage and a bit of photography. 
I want to serve clients for the long haul so I can use my skills visualizing their brands for a long time.
Had the pleasure of creating the Dome Wizard brand Had the pleasure of creating the Dome Wizard brand and character package for my friends at @dotworkzsystems last summer. Really exciting to work with an innovative company making innovative products. The Dome Wizard is an integrated system to clean elevated surfaces such as cameras and screens. And, it won the Security Today 2020 new product of the year! Super fun to bring their story to life and play a small part in their success.
Anyone who knows me, knows I can get excited about Anyone who knows me, knows I can get excited about the details. In a pre-production meeting today, Heather said this to me. I don't think a truer statement was ever said about me, or my work! 
You bet I get excited about details, and I get even more excited about people who appreciate that about me. In this case, we were talking about design & web hosting, but I am equally excitable about bringing new corporate identities to life, or even corporate character design.
I've designed a lot of things, and usually what I I've designed a lot of things, and usually what I do best is hear the heart and soul of what my clients do. Then I make rad creative to share their story.
I'm notorious for saying "I don't really do that" when asked for something like build a complex bit of animation.  What I am amazing at, in this example, is seeing characteristics an animation should have - seeing the character before it's ever been seen.  I am super useful to animators. 
From now on, we should all talk about what we can do, not what we can't. Bring what we have to the table and find clients and customers that fit. I love working with people who just need that little bump to bring their story into focus and can get going. I love designing things that have purpose and bring messages to life. I don't care if that's print, web or identity. It's really about the story for me. 
So … what's your story?
