OurGrind.ning.com
OurGrind.ning.com was a social media site created as a student project at the Centre For Digital Media. It served to function as a meeting point for runners of the “Grouse Grind,” a gorgeous yet sharply elevated mountain trail its regular users have lovingly dubbed “The Stairway to Heaven.”
The site was designed for people to meet up, compare times and post their own media.
I was Creative Director on this project, which involved establishing and maintaining a visual design for the site. I researched and tested a number of social media networks on the Internet to determine which best suited our needs, and once we chose Ning, designed mock sites to test its potential.
Climbing the Grouse Grind with our group, I also took both photos and video to contribute media to the site.

The team included:
Nick Lewis, Alice Tai, Taylor Kachmarski, Jennifer Dowding, Erez Barzilay
