Nursing Kaurner
Canada
A brand identity and website for a young nurse looking to elevate the nursing practice.
Since we were starting from a blank canvas, we began with understanding Priya
...
and how she wants the brand to be perceived. A defined audience was decided: perspective and practising nurses. Priyas focus for this blog is to help a nurse achieve peak performance in order to nurture their patients. The mission statement “Putting yourself first to elevate others” was founded.acts as a backdrop rather than a statement.
A typeface, logo, colour palette, stationary, and merchandise were produced to give birth to the brand. The Garamond typeface was chosen for its unobtrusive qualities, as the sole focus of the site is the content and not how the content is presented.
Naturally, “nursing kaurner” set in Garamond with two small details became the logo. First, the crown replaces the dot of the i, as kaur means princess in Gurmukhi. Second, “rn” is italicized as a nod to the nursing profession. The colour palette acts as a backdrop rather than a statement.

The website shows the brand value and blog entries on one screen, where traditionally this information would span 4 pages. Although minimalistic, allows users to filter posts with a click of an icon; nurse talk, health and wellness, and food.
Once the website flow was set, prototyping began. This helped Priya visualize how a person would navigate and experience the website on all types of devices. Once the development is complete, Priya’s left with a website that is customizable and easy to update without any coding knowledge.
As a result of collaboration, Priya feels a responsibility to create world-class content that lives up to the nursing kaurner mission. The Maker Brothers couldn’t ask for anything more.

Ermaneyo Residence
Canada
1969 Vancouver Special renovation.
As designer and general contractor, the goal of this project was to bring the entire house up to date with a $95,000.00 budget.
As the budget suggests, material selection and interior design ...
became two important factors in creating a new chapter for this house. The aesthetic takes inspiration from the era the house was born in.
The requirements were straightforward: four bedrooms, open concept living space, cafe, studio, low-maintenance and durable materials, and an additional one-bedroom rental suite.
Work with each sub-trade was a collaborative effort to ensure the development met or exceeded the design details. In return, the perceived value of the property increases as the project moves forward.
The kitchen, with an island cooking area, becomes the main gathering spot for the house. The food goes from the stove to the bar or dining table with the stretch of an arm.
A large window and garden doors light the living space. A previously separated kitchen, dining, and family room were brought together through Parallam beams spanning the entire length of the house - creating the open concept originally envisioned.

You Love Us When
United States
While on social media the Maker Brothers stumbled upon their childhood friends facebook story - Andrew playing a soft piano melody with a text overlay explaining his ...
frustration with the hate towards the Asian community.
So they decided to do something. Through dialogue it was decided the best angle to touch on inequality and racism was by talking about love, “You love us when”.
Showing times when the Asian community was loved for the remarkable things they do created a nostalgic and present story.
“You love us then.”
“Where is your love now?”
