Serving Coastal Italian Cuisine & An Escape from the Everyday
Barbarella is a coastal bar and restaurant that offers a unique and refreshing escape from the daily routine. Inspired by the chic mid-century yacht culture of the Italian South and California, their menu brings the sun-drenched coastal flavours to downtown Calgary AB, combining Mediterranean fare with locally sourced West Coast ingredients and vernacular.
Every bite will refresh your senses and transport you to a sunny boat deck somewhere south of Amalfi coast. Barbarella's brand world is inspired by iconic coastlines of Italy, with bold stripes covering their coasters and menus, reminiscent of the graphic umbrellas scattered along the iconic teal green beaches. Their drinks menu features a soft and vibrant blue-green colour, reminiscent of the summery ocean depicted in Slim Aarons' famous photos.

Sparkling Hard Tea to Lift Your Spirits
Swan Dive was born out of daily ritual. The steeping of tea leaves, a moment to daydream, and the enjoyment of flavour. Add in some naturally fermented hard seltzer, carbonation, and a whole lot of time, and Swan Dive created a familiar feeling that’s renewed with a sense of freedom.
Inspired by slow days on the water, when the sky is big, and the sun is your clock—it’s a feeling of freedom in a can. We created imagery that captures the brand's free spirit. Literally diving in, these visuals evoke Swan Dive's brand name and ethos of creating products based on instinct and a spirit of readiness.
The freeness and candor of this system is in the identity’s story, providing a voice and a canvas to show everyone the power of internal and external flight to create possibilities that are both positive and impactful. Swan Dive’s story is based on the idea of inner spirit and feeling of liberation.

A New Standard for Clinical Beauty
After five years in the making, Strategy Skincare’s approach to beauty is thoughtful formulation, without compromise. They sought to provide a solution to an industry-wide problem—too many options and not enough results or accurate information. Proving clinical doesn’t mean (bad) “chemical”, Strategy Skincare is designed to work in any routine, yet stands alone as a powerhouse for results. In an industry where effective, clinical skincare typically doesn't value beautiful design, the strategy was to create a brand that provides medical level results but stands out just as much for its aesthetic. Offering a skincare strategy with depth; the perfect balance between function and beauty.

We worked with founders Kylie and Rudy on creating a brand and story founded on community and the rich history of agricultural trade between the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan. Valley Commons is a place where all are welcome to gather and share stories and experiences, and what better way than over a glass of wine?

A Club of Riverboat Beer
Tinhouse Brewing Company is a cornerstone of the fast-growing craft beer scene of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.
Building a clean visual identity that juxtaposes industrialism and the natural world as a nod to the community. Nordic-inspired architecture are seen at the nearby Pitt River Boat Club which is landmarked by the locals. The brand mark is crafted with a shallow rooftop, a short and wide face, and vertical panelling resembling the row of boat sheds. Striking primary colours that are familiarly seen painted amongst the river boats boost the appeal of the industrial approach to the brand.
