playsthatwork

playsthatwork creates immersive, hands-on learning experiences that help employees practise, reflect, and grow, so they can navigate critical workplace conversations with greater confidence. The playsthatwork team needed a refreshed web presence that elevated their web presence and better showcased their unique offerings. The website features flowing animations and illustrations, a professional colour palette, and a clear information hierarchy that allows users to easily navigate the site and learn about playsthatwork's offerings.

Eric Brunt Media

Eric Brunt is a Canadian filmmaker and storyteller who is telling the stories of Canada's last remaining WWII veterans. Although Eric is a filmmaker at heart, the stories are what drive his projects. He was running into a problem where he didn't have enough promotion materials in between films. I created a plan to move Eric into the more general content creation space, allowing him to put out more regular content. The new website features Eric's stories in a way that is both engaging and easy to navigate.
