I have a Master of Design degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design.
I've taught design in one form or another across North America at Flagler College, The University of New Mexico, Santa Fe Community College, Cañada College and Vancouver Island University. I have a career that I'm passionate about thanks to my teachers, and I feel pretty strongly that its important to do the same for the next generation of designers.
Like it says above, I'm a designer and educator living and working in Vancouver. What it ought to say is that I'm an accomplished designer and educator living and working in Vancouver. What does that mean? It means my personal consultancy designs and develops print and interactive projects from the new secret base recently estabished in British Columbia. (Previous secret bases were in Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, and California in the U.S. and in Halifax, Canada.)
In all those places, I worked with ad agencies, design houses, and web shops on a range of the usual sorts of projects you'd see in a design career spanning the last 15 years: print, packaging, identity, illustration, online and interaction.
My creative focus is on non-profit entities; museums, public broadcasting, social services, NGOs. I'm currently developing an online interactive language/cultural transmission experience for the Highland Village of Nova Scotia.
Drop me an email if you like, at patrick@patrickfoster.net; I'm always happy to make new friends. I also go on about design, books, and things that aggravate me on Twitter.
