07.04.2010 Enough is enough. I can't deal with this clumsy, awkward website anymore. I've decided to move on and leave this current website behind. Please make sure to visit the all-new Design.ca. Less is more ... especially when there is more of it.

11.23.2008 CALGARY STAMPEDERS – 2008 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!
10.14.2008 Hrmm. Four months of complete silence ... that's terrible.
No matter, here's an entire season worth of updates in one go:
• 5500km - Road trip photos (w/ FLUSH: Toliets of the West)
• Born & Raised - The first installment of an ongoing poster series.
• BOB - Little flyer, Big Orange Bin ... oh, and 25 other Portfolio Updates.


06.13.2008 Woo-hoo! It's finally time to bust out your Calgary Stampeders 2008 Season Ticket Package! Pre-season kicks off today … or as I see it, the unofficial start to my off-season!

05.26.2008 I was finally asked to judge a book by its cover … in a sense. I served as a judge at the 16th Annual Provincial Skills Competition for Graphic Design last week. It was great to see that technical quality is considered as important as aesthetics, because what good is it if it won't print properly?

04.21.2008 No news is good news!! Really, it's true. I've been busier than ever, yet somehow I found the time to completely redesign the website. Hopefully you like it … cause it took a lot of time. Heh.

10.04.2007 Today marks the second anniversary of the inception of I.R. DESIGN. Thank you to all my clients, colleagues and partners for another successful year – you helped make it a true achievement.

Be sure to visit my improved portfolio highlighting the work of the past year with 10X the content and enhanced flow. Expect bigger & better things in 2008!

09.10.2007 IR+MK 09.08.07 – Our wedding went off without a hitch! It was exactly what we had envisioned. Who really needs a fiancée anyways? I wanted me a wife!

08.17.2007 Oh wow!! That'll cure what ails ya! Going on vacation in the Cook Islands is like travelling back in time 50 years to a stress-free, tropical paradise!! Check out the photo gallery.

06.22.2007 Sorry ladies … this ship has sailed. That's right Mel and I are officially engaged!!

05.31.2007 The Calgary Stampeders 2007 marketing campaign was officially released yesterday and with training camp only three days away, my work is finally coming to an end. Looking forward to a lil' downtime!

10.10.2006 Woo! I just found out I received an honourable mention for my entry to Avenue magazine's poster contest entitled 'Post Haste.'

10.09.2006 Holy-free-holy! What a busy six weeks! Packing, cleaning, renovations, repairs, unpacking, more cleaning, more renos, more unpacking, more, more and more … but, we’re almost settled and get'n our lives back to ourselves.
Check back for a shwack of updates – I've got lots o' fun stuff to share.

10.04.2006 I.R. DESIGN’s one-year anniversary! I need to send out a whole-hearted thank you to my clients, associates and partners for such a succesful year!

08.21.2006 It's official! Mel and I are finally homeowners! In 15 days we take possession of a lil' 1970's bugalow in Penbrooke. I guess it's time to get packing. Ugh.

07.18.2006 I watched a house down the street get eaten alive in less than an hour today. It was truly a sad thing to witness … makes for good photos though!

07.07.2006 The Calgary Stampede starts today! Looking forward to ten days of local insanity as Calgary go nuts. Ugh.

06.12.2006 Woo-hooo!!! I'm just about finished the last of the Calgary Stampeders 2006 print marketing/ad campaign!! Now that all the excitment is over … I think it was a complete success!

So long 15 hr. days! Hello sunshine!

05.25.2006 Just got back from a 7-day vacation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. "Pura Vida!" (the pure life) says it all!

10.04.2005 Just got back from five days of debauchery in California!
Only problem is … I had no job to return to! My employer (Kanga Communications) closed it's doors the day I left. So this is it … let's see what I can do with this little 'venture' I call I.R. DESIGN.
