Turning ambiguity into architecture
Winnipeg, Manitoba
I've spent over 15 years taking on projects of all sizes. Sometimes that meant leading 150 people. Sometimes it meant sitting alone at a desk with a problem and figuring it out.
300+ photos were sitting in shoeboxes, slowly fading. I built a system to scan, catalog, and map them so the community can search by family, story, and location. The software was the easy part. Collecting the photos was not.
React Leaflet IndexedDB
An interactive map of Métis territory with layers showing historic settlements, cart trails, waterways, buffalo migration patterns, and historical resource use. Built from scratch using historical maps I had to digitize myself. No research team, no precedent data.
D3.js GeoJSON Leaflet
A narrative-driven historical simulation built on a custom TypeScript engine. Blends authentic 19th-century economic mechanics (Made Beaver) with branching storylines and handcrafted 32-color pixel art.
TypeScript Canvas Pixel Art
Website for the Red River Métis Nation Heritage Centre. Information about exhibitions, events, and Métis history. Content managed via Contentful CMS.

The plains buffalo went from 30 million to under 1,000 in a century. This data-proportional timeline illustrates that devastating decline toward near extinction, while highlighting the reasons behind the collapse.
D3.js JavaScript Data Viz
A turn-based mobile tag game -- one hides, one seeks. My first attempt at building a functional game that works across platforms. Coming to Google Play as our first published game.
TypeScript Canvas Mobile
An interactive geospatial archive of 70 Canadian UFO sightings spanning from 1662 to the present. Built with Leaflet.js and a classified-document aesthetic -- manila folder tones, red "CLASSIFIED" stamp, typewriter fonts.
