We strive to make people’s lives easier by designing satisfying interactions that help bridge the human/computer divide.
We start with these basic materials to build elegant & rich designs…using Pencil & Paper sets the scene for design especially well.
Ceara was introduced to UX design through science communications and grew her skillset in the biotech enterprise software space originally. Her love of biology and living systems comes through in her design work as well as her artwork.
After Ceara earned a biology degree in Victoria then relocated to London, UK to launch her career in science communications. It was through that work that she was introduced to user experience design, and immediately reoriented to establish herself in the design field.
She became established in UX Design on an agile product team, from there she struck out on her own, working on a wide variety of domains and contexts. Now she’s the founder of Pencil & Paper in the beautiful technology hub, Victoria, BC.
We’re building this company intentionally to hybridize our business model, having both client work and a subscription product. In this way we’re able to create real value in our company and avoid the typical ‘agency madness’ that is caused by having solely project-based business model. (more details to come)
