[design + code] + the web + a van = did

Hello. My name is Jamie Purches.
I'm an art and interactive design director specializing in GUI, Flash and graphic design. I'm based in Vancouver, Canada and I'd like to welcome you to my design portfolio which features some of the work I've done for clients and employers alike.

Over the years I've been lucky enough to have contributed interactive design services on projects for the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, Germany based, but globally renowned Nero AG, Hewlett Packard, Dish Jeans and Future Shop. I've been even luckier that Dave Kreut of Level Up has been there to provide clean, effective front and back end development behind a lot of my interactive designs. This allows me to offer top-notch, fully functional design packages that can include everything from complete corporate branding to printed stuff to websites with content management systems.

I like to call this thing Donkey Ink Design -- or "DID". I thought it would be better and more fun than just using my name because sometimes it's just me, and other times it's me and Dave, and then other times it's just me again.

For those perhaps wondering about the van rationale when seeing it for the first time... It's there because I really like vans. Vans that didn't have the word "mini" associated with them. The van on this site is my own creation -- a mashup of a chevy body with a modified Econoline Ford front end. There's no high artistic reasoning there.
I just. Like. Vans.
In fact I liked this van so much I decided to expand on the design and themed my first apparel "project" after it. To see the Project Van line and other apparel "projects", visit the Project Industries website.
