Fabric
In 2015, Vancouver-based artist Rebecca Bayer and artist/architect Matthew Soules created an installation called City Fabric. Using 800 lineal feet of orange construction netting, the pair stretched the material between concrete piers of the Burrard Street Bridge. Typically the eye-catching netting indicates dangerous construction zones, but here, with its intersecting transparent lines, the orange fabric takes on a new life.
Remarkable times call for a remarkable effort.
Even with our team’s physical distance, H&W remains connected and fully operational. Our priority is everyone’s well-being, and we are all working remotely to advance projects and support our clients. In a knowledge economy, we can meet, discuss and create from our homes. Maybe sometimes in our pyjamas.
Reach out, we are here.

Renaissance Spring 2020
The Spring issue of Renaissance magazine explores environmentally conscious alternatives that you can easily work into your everyday life. From changing the way you look at clothing and what can make it sustainable, to the future of food and all of its alternatives, this issue is all about going green. Throughout the issue, H&W aimed to inject a very light, playful style to the feature to help embody the feeling of renewal, hope and optimism towards environmentalism.

Identity
Jamison Steeve, the former Executive Director at the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity, has taken his considerable talents into the consultancy sector. A veteran of public policy for the province of Ontario, Jamison is now using his skills in research and leadership to advise large-scale organizations, in addition to lecturing at McGill University. He approached H&W to craft a simple brand identity for his new entrepreneurial work with the notion that he wanted an icon of some sort. His son rather innocently suggested a fox, and well, it just fit. Foxes are smart, agile, adaptable, playful and creative – which can be easily said about Jamison. As the saying goes, “the fox knows many things.”
