10/12/2018 0 Comments The Gibbard Block infographicI was assigned a story about a Kickstarter campaign to support a local hospitality group's effort to open three separate concepts within the newly renovated Gibbard Block. Watching the campaign video, I was struck by a comment made by one of the owners: that they start all their projects with a neighbourhood rather than a concept.

9/4/2018 0 Comments For the love of food trucksI was asked to revamp one of my Edmonton Made articles for Explore Edmonton's new website (which is gorgeous btw).

The resulting article was tighter and, in my opinion, stronger than the original. A good reminder that sometimes less is more.

This article focuses on the table top gaming and the proliferation of board game cafés in Edmonton. Click here to read the story.
