Most recently, as part of the KADG team, Nando was responsible for designing the master brand and sub brand designs for the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. This project also included the brand implementation of on site signage and pageantry. It is a project that entailed not only excellent design, detailed wayfinding and project management, but also intense scheduling and supplier coordination (ongoing BOND client).

Bonnie has managed and assisted in various corporate identity and environmental graphic design projects over the years for high profile clients such as Petro-Canada, Catalyst Paper, The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, Norske Skog and BC Ferries.

A highly effective project manager, Jaime consistently exceeds expectations. Some related projects she is working on are ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia), Keynote residential and office towers and Red Deer College.

Currently Chris is completing a Masters of Environmental Design in Industrial Design at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Environmental Design. His research and design work involves approaching technology and design from a philosophical background. By understanding the essence of technology we can adjust our design approach and practices to create more appropriate and sustainable solutions. Realizations in his research have brought Chris into the field of way-finding design. Technology is a form of existential way-finding, and traditional wayfinding concepts can be viewed through the lens of technology studies. As human beings we make our way through the world and understand it by virtue of the objects we design.

Chris has worked on several projects in the Calgary area including: the design of the signage and way-finding program for Sunterra Market's flagship location, the design of the signage and way-finding program for the new Calgary Board of Education building, and the RiverWalk Phase 1 project currently under way in the East Village with the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation.

In time, Nicholas was given responsibility for all print design and document production for the firm. One of the largest projects was to help coordinate and produce the scheme design report for the new £200m Royal Bank of Scotland Headquarters at Gogar Park Edinburgh, a project he was highly commended for.

Nicholas left Michael Laird Architects in 2003 to establish NBGraphics. NBGraphics built a wide and ever-growing client base for graphic design, web design and photography with clients such as Hillary Rohde Cashmere Scotland, Riad Tizwa in Morocco and White Umbrella, a bespoke marquee company in Australia.

Upon moving to the Philippines, Pao worked at B+C Design where he was heavily involved with various environmental graphic design projects around the country. His projects included a signage and wayfinding programme for the Beach and Nature Club at Anvaya Cove (of AyalaLand Premiere), interactive informational graphics and pageantry for the College of St. Benilde - School for Design and Art, a wayfinding system for the Pancake House Group Headquarters, and several event collateral for Pondersa Villas of LandCo. Philippines and AyalaLand Premiere.

Pao worked more independently when he moved to Canada, focusing on designing print materials including several rock concert posters for shows around Southern Alberta and event collateral for the 2009 Alberta International Airshow. Pao continues to work on identity, signage and wayfinding programs such as Winsport at BOND Creative and contributes his diverse understanding of visual culture from different areas around the world.

Spending his time at BOND designing signage and wayfinding systems that enable individuals to understand and navigate institutions, architectural spaces and the built environment. Shaw is currently working on the wayfinding and signage program at BOND for an Oilsands project in Northern Alberta. Past accomplishments include assisting in establishing the course curriculum and teaching the introductory course in Industrial Design at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. He was involved with designing a wayfinding and signage program at the University of Calgary Downtown Campus and the Foothills Medical Campus.

Shaw grew up in a large family made up of diverse individuals each with various interests, talents and professions. His father is Japanese and mother is Canadian; the mixed cultural influences and unique diversity has greatly influenced and impacted his understanding of design and interpretation of the built environment. Sketching products, spaces, and buildings is a favourite past time of Shaw’s besides travelling the world.
