TestBKK.org is a multi-language digital health platform developed as part of an APCOM initiative and managed by Ethica Strategy. 

Targeted specifically at users in Thailand, the platform serves as a critical public health resource to provide detailed sexual health information, promote HIV testing, and offer extensive information on local treatment options. 

Key Features & Design Highlights 

• Mobile-First Approach: The platform was custom-designed and optimized explicitly for mobile devices to maximize accessibility and user engagement among its target audience. 
• Localization: Features complete multi-language support, seamlessly offering content in both Thai and English.
• Regional Blueprint: Due to its success, TestBKK.org served as the foundational prototype for four other regional sexual health platforms across Southeast Asia:
  • TestJKT.org – Jakarta, Indonesia (English/Bahasa Indonesia)
  • TestJOG.org – Yogyakarta, Indonesia (English/Bahasa Indonesia)
  • TestMNL.org – Manila, Philippines (English/Tagalog)
  • TestSGN.org – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (English/Vietnamese)

This project involved a structural overhaul and modern backend rebuild for Seekers Media, a digital media and marketing agency platform. Built to support high-performance digital campaigns and content-driven community networks, the platform was fully transitioned to a modern content management framework: 

• Drupal 11 Implementation: Successfully built and optimized the site infrastructure on Drupal 11, utilizing clean configuration management and modern development workflows.
• Content Performance: Structured backend entities to seamlessly handle multi-media campaign assets, production highlights, and interactive digital offerings.
• Streamlined Administration: Cleaned up site architecture to provide a fast, stable, and highly maintainable content-editing experience for the client's media production team.

This is a Fusebox Communications site, designed by Chris Fagan.

This project involved the long-term modernization life cycle of prostatecentre.com, transitioning the critical healthcare platform through multiple generations of web architecture.

• Drupal 11 Upgrade: Built upon a history of continuous platform evolution—including a major overhaul from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7—the infrastructure has been fully upgraded to Drupal 11.
• Responsive Theme: Features a custom-built, responsive design across all content nodes to ensure a seamless and accessible user experience on both mobile and desktop device

This is a vintage look back at a unique, multi-lingual digital campaign developed for the Canadian Public Health Association. Built during the early days of interactive web design, this legacy HTML site was designed to engage audiences across three distinct languages: English, French, and Inuktitut.

While the live campaign is now officially offline, it remains preserved here as a cool, historic snapshot of early public health outreach in Canada. It stands as a testament to localized digital design, complete with its original retro layout and localized resource guides.

¡Hola Canada is a web platform developed for Simon Fraser University (SFU). Originally engineered as a Django application featuring a primary Flash user interface, this project involved creating a fully functional, alternative HTML interface to mirror and complement the existing Flash setup.

Key Details & Contributions

• Interface Development: Developed the alternative, flat HTML interface to ensure cross-platform accessibility and stable functionality, transforming the original Flash application directly into a functional web specification document.
• Collaborators: The original Flash interface was designed and built by Jer Thorp (formerly of Simon Fraser University).
• Platform Philosophy: While the HTML version intentionally trades heavy visual animations for streamlined performance, it focuses heavily on high usability and seamless, practical navigation.

This is an HTML site that I coded for the LIDC at Sinon Fraser University. The site designer is Ivana Filipovic.
This is the blurb @ http://mediadesign.sfu.ca/portfolio/ about the project:

"From the Heart" is a multimedia collaboration between the City of Burnaby and the LIDC that showcases the military and civilian careers of five distinguished Freemen of Burnaby. The project tells their stories through video, a website, interactive games, archival photographs, posters, and documents. Its purpose is to inform elementary and high school students, and the general public, about the devotion to service, both in war and peace, displayed by these five men, and to inspire others to follow in their exemplary footsteps. The project received multiple awards from the Columbus International Film and Video Festival.
