The Client: Alumo is a student impact fund that pools collective influence from influencers and partner schools to deliver a $250,000 annual grant program for student-led projects across Canada. The Issue: The fund needed a website that could communicate trust and purpose to two very different audiences — students applying for grants and partner schools or influencers considering joining — while also showcasing past winners and guiding applicants through the process clearly. The Solution: A multi-page website was designed with a warm, approachable visual identity using earthy tones, generous imagery, and clear information hierarchy. Each section — About, Past Winners, and How to Apply — was structured to reduce friction and build confidence, making it easy for students to understand eligibility and take action before the deadline.

he Client: Chalet Locatif is a Canadian platform for booking and managing short-term chalet rentals, helping both travelers and property owners with seamless reservation and hosting experiences. The Issue: Despite a growing interest in local tourism and chalet investments, users face friction when searching for, comparing, and booking properties due to scattered information, inconsistent presentation, and lack of intuitive filters or pricing clarity. Hosts, on the other hand, often struggle with visibility, property management, and ensuring their listings attract bookings efficiently. The Solution: The main challenge was to create a clean, scalable interface that balances the needs of two very different user groups—renters and hosts—while keeping the experience simple and welcoming. The platform needed to support dynamic search functionality, detailed property listings, a responsive map-based UI, and smooth reservation flows without overwhelming users. Additionally, maintaining a cohesive brand identity across all touchpoints, including mobile and desktop, was key to building trust and engagement in a competitive rental market.
