Mangrove Web

I’m a designer, artist, educator, and small press publisher based in Montréal, working to build a more humane web — one that’s ethical, inclusive, and thoughtfully crafted. I currently serve as creative director at Mangrove Web, a purpose-driven B Corp where I lead the creation of accessible, sustainable websites built with open source tools. For 20 years, I ran Manoverboard, a small but strapping studio and the first Certified B Corporation in Manitoba. I’ve taught design and theory at the University of Manitoba and Red River College, and co-founded a scholarship program supporting BIPOC design students. I write Dear Designer, a weekly newsletter exploring the emotional, technological, and social dimensions of creative work. I also serve on the board of the Canadian Typography Archives and run a RISO-based press from my Montréal studio.
