View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Bee KapitanAbout Bee Kapitan : I began my digital life as a web designer in 1996. I consider myself a life long learner with a passion for interactive digital design. As a tech entrepreneur and enhanced ebook publisher, my focus is on the evolution of digital design experiences that are accessible to all readers.
My accomplishments include winning multiple awards for book design and interactivity for the enhanced ebook, How to Say Cheese, An Interactive Cheese Journey.
As a web designer, I created digital communication assets for clients such as; UBC’s Sauder School of Business, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Inflazyme Pharmaceuticals, Creo Products, fine artists, authors and nonprofits such as the Anglican Church.
I live and work in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Contrast and tension between visual elements to provide memorable learning or captivating experiences.
What excites me about design is watching human interaction. I strive for combing what is familiar (comforting) to the user in tandem with the delightfully unexpected.
