I’m Steve Rio, Lead Strategist and CEO of Briteweb. I’m a well-rounded consultant, with a diverse toolkit of web strategy, hands-on design & development, communications & project leadership skills.

For me, Web & IT strategy is a life passion; I obsess over how to make my clientsʼ communications and processes more efficient through the effective use of design, technology and education. I’ve been working in the web/interactive space for over 10 years.

When I’m not in the matrix, you can find me in a yoga class, in the woods running barefoot, swimming in the ocean, or on a mountain somewhere.

I’m the secret weapon behind the scenes at Briteweb Design (direct quote from Rio). I love all things involving HTML4 & 5, CSS 2 & 3, Javascript, PHP and creating technical interfaces that seem effortless. I have worked with Steve since ‘07 when I joined Steve’s former company, 604media. We have a long track-record of creating incredible user experiences together. I have been designing and developing professionally for over 5 years.

My name is Alessandro, I love building interactive web applications with a focus on user experience, engaging visual design and effective communication.

I studied fine arts in Italy for 5 years before changing my career direction toward science. I obtained a BSc. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Bologna, Italy and a MSc. in Microelectronics at the University College of Cork, Ireland.

After finishing my master I went back to the creative industry and started working as a photographer in Vancouver. I love traveling and getting to know new cultures, so while I was freelancing as a photographer I had the opportunity to travel extensively.

Being a graduate of BCIT’s New Media Design and Web Development program, I have experience in various development languages, design aesthetics, and media communications. I have an affinity for user-centric environments, concise design, and all things development. Luckily for me, working at Briteweb gives me the chance to experience these things daily. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me busy with something music, tennis, or mountain-related.

The New Gentlemen’s Club founder and Creative Director Christopher Bradford was born, raised and educated in the United Kingdom, and has a decade of experience in the design industry. The New Gentlemen’s Club is his brainchild, providing brand identity, interactive design, art direction, packaging, and print design for any and all creative projects. Bradford’s great loves include grids, concepts, typography, americano coffees, tattoos, shades of grey, and his beloved Tottenham Hotspurs.

I’m a business development adviser who helps entrepreneurs clarify their vision and create a plan to grow their businesses. I ask the right questions to crystallize what they do, who their customers are and how to reach those customers profitably. Then create effective systems to ensure a consistent customer experience. I’ve worked at tech start-ups, around the Olympics and studied the history of commerce and organizational sociology at York University. My passion is figuring out the steps to turn someone’s vision into a reality.

Come summer time I am on my road bike panting up the hills of British Columbia; while in the winter I am skiing down them. I work with Briteweb as well as an independent consultant.
