Work

Two sites, each built from its own material.

A portfolio for a look-development artist, and the website for our own software. Different trades, one way of working: start from what is already there.

Portfolio

Filipe Silveira

A texture and look-development artist in Vancouver, looking for his first full-time role. His site had to show finished frames, and how they were made, to the people who hire for exactly that.

  • The first screen is his workplace

    The site opens on a look-development stage: a chrome ball, a grey ball and a colour chart under studio lights. Drag, and the light turns, the way he checks a material.

  • The work arrives on a lightbox

    Scroll and each project is wheeled in and lit, with its own passes sweeping across the render before you open it.

  • Tools he would recognise

    The navigation is a toolbar like the top of a 3D app, with numbered tabs and a readout of what is on screen. Every render and pass comes from his own files.

Product site

MapleDesk

Practice software for Canadian immigration consultants, and our own product. The site had to explain a desktop app to busy people, and earn their trust with client files.

  • The product on the first screen

    The opening shows the app’s real morning list beside the logo: who is late, what is due, what is owed. No stock photo stands in for the software.

  • Steps you can follow

    The guide walks through setup with real screens and handwritten notes, then line drawings for the parts a screenshot cannot show.

  • Seven languages, nothing borrowed

    Every page is built in seven languages. Fonts and scripts are served from the site itself, as its privacy page promises.
