Timeline: Dec 2023 - September 2025
As part of FAAS Architecture's 2025 rebrand, I was tasked with building a custom GIS web application that could spatialize the firm's projects across Canada, demonstrating the breadth of their work. Rather than adopting an off-the-shelf map plugin, I chose to build the application from scratch, ensuring it matched the rebrand's identity while giving FAAS a tool that could grow with the firm.
