About Me

Hi, I'm Devin. A 27 year old designer based out of Calgary, AB. After working in restaurants for almost a decade I decided to change careers and enrolled in SAIT's Interactive Design Diploma program. Today I'm working hard to pursue a career in design, making as much cool stuff as i can along the way.

Skål Tavern

One of my early design projects involved creating a visual identity for a fictional restaurant named Skål Tavern. What began as sketches in my notebook grew into multiple logo variations, a brand guide, and menu design mockups. I used Adobe Illustrator and InDesign to build the brand, with a focus on clarity, consistency, and visual storytelling.

This concept was shaped by nearly a decade of experience in the restaurant industry, as well as my travels through Scandinavia and a deep appreciation for the fantasy genre. Skål Tavern reflects the kind of restaurant I would open, warm, abundant, and rooted in comfort and hospitality.

Although this project was primarily focused on graphic design, it became a valuable opportunity for me to develop practical skills I continue to apply in web design, such as iterative design, typography, and iconography.

Three.js Solar System

During one of my classes at SAIT I was tasked with exploring emerging tech. For this assignment I chose Three.js, JavaScript Library for building 3d experiences in browsers. I wanted to expand my knowledge of JavaScript libraries as well as challenge myself by building a basic 3D enviroment.

For this project, I decided to recreate our solar system, as I believed it would serve as a compelling and structured way for me to learn the fundamentals of 3D development. This included concepts such as geometry, lighting, texture mapping, and camera controls, all of which are essential for creating immersive experiences in 3d.

Beyond learning the fundamentals of 3d development, this project helped me hone my skills with JavaScript, as well as develop a deeper appreciation for how code and design can come together to create unique interactive experiences.
