2022

Warmest wishes from our team to you and your family for the holidays and into 2023!  

The break offers us an important opportunity to reflect on 2022. We have had a remarkable year, and we owe a huge debt of thanks to you - our clients, friends, partners, and team members (both past and present). You have all contributed to our ongoing growth and development as we expanded to become a team of well over 20 amazing people, as we introduced a series of new services, and as we completed dozens of projects and hundreds of usability sessions. We also recognize how lucky we are for the ongoing support, as well as the opportunity to work for clients who we genuinely like, on projects that have measurable significant impact on the lives of Canadians. 

Every year, we commission an artist to create a piece for our holiday cards. We recently published a blog post featuring the artwork on our holiday cards going back to 2011: read it here.   

As is our tradition, this year we commissioned an immensely talented local artist to create our special holiday card.  

About the artist: 

Bruno, also known as "Smoky", has dedicated his life to visual art. In 2004, he began painting on walls with spray paint in Brasilandia where he grew up, a precarious neighborhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Smoky has gained international and professional recognition through his artistic journeys all over the world. He has worked in various organizations and NGOs teaching the history of graffiti and its role in society to at-risk youth. He is the coordinator of the Essencia Arts Collective, and a founding member of the Clandestinos Crew.
