Buyvr is a mobile app that encourages Vancouverites to contribute more to their city’s local development by helping them easily find only local businesses and events, benefiting both users and the region.

The goal is to promote the support of local businesses and the idea of “local” itself through the product, which brings great impact to the local economy, community and environment. The project encourages both consumers and businesses to contribute to the growth of Vancouver.

Burns Bog Tour is the proposal for an interactive guide to the Burns Bog in Delta. It uses games and short term goals (such as a scavenger hunt) to engage students in learning about the fascinating biodiversity and history of the bog, and includes features such as a backpack and journal for personalization. Participants of the tour would work towards leveling up, from dragonfly to bear, and would receive a pin with their accomplished level at the end of the tour.

The Burns Bog Tour for the iPad was developed by Jonas Bødtker, Marcela Huerta, Sarah Kozlowski, and Heather Neale. For the most part it uses current iPad technology, but would rely on as of yet non-existent camera capabilities to function.

This identity package was designed for Samantha Lefort's Generation Green winner, Local Choice. Local Choice rates restaurants according to their use of local, seasonal, low carbon, organic and certified produce, as well as their affordability, healthiness and labour practices. It has now been incorporated into Anthony Nicalo's Foodtree.

An information graphic encouraging the purchase of local food and beverage. It aimed to create a fun, playful, friendly poster or interactive document that rewarded its users instead of berating them for their food habits. It used positive language and bright, pleasant colours to achieve this, and was distributed in whimsical homemade packages. It was meant to be widely and freely distributed (on websites such as getlocal and eatlocal.org)
