About Us...
and the way we do our thing
Carbon Media is here to provide you with access to the creative talent, technical expertise and professional production needed to bring your communications to life.
What's Our Secret?
Perhaps it's our industry experience. Maybe it's our commitment to client satisfaction. It could be our firm belief that our client's message should effortlessly extend and communicate across all mediums. We like to think it's all of these things.
Who We Are.
Over the past 6 years we have built a close knit team of dedicated creative professionals. This team is supported through our network of trusted partners and vendors. Each of us takes an active interest in the research of current and historical trends in communication. We use this cultural awareness as the foundation from which we create client materials which inspire.
Where to Begin?
We begin by gaining an understanding of your organization as a whole. We then review your intended audience and overall goals. From this we are able to create materials with both impact and longevity.
It’s easy to get started! Simply give us a call or email us to schedule a meeting. You can also use our Build-a-Quote tool to give us a more detailed introduction. We look forward to hearing from you!

A Nice Bunch...
and they know a thing or two.
It all started with trying to get two pcs networked together so he could play Duke Nukem co-op style with a friend. Then there was his .midi music and anime fan site. Humble beginnings that one should probably not admit to. Since then James’ has built 10 years in-the-field (read industry) experience learning the ins and outs of design and communication.
James often worries that his honest interest in information architecture and system design may make him un-hip. To counteract this he seeks out experimental electronic music and reads the odd piece of counter culture literature.
If this bio could be in picture form you know Lisa would be up late sketching, inking, scanning and vectorizing. Her love for original illustration and typography is infectious... and it can’t be cured! Some might call this love a form of creative attention deficit disorder. We prefer to just call it Lisa.
If you want to make fast friends we recommend the following topics for discusssion: music, semiotics, vinyl toys and / or football (that’s soccer for the uninitiated). Secretly though, we know she wants to front a band that will one day release a split EP with Trent Reznor
Chuck is very... open. Source that is! Following a post-secondary program in the media arts, Chuck has grown to find a special kind of love for the programming technologies that make our lives just a little easier.
As part of the founding trifecta, Chuck tempers James’ and Lisa’s grandiose design schemes with his special brand of homespun wisdom on usability and scalability.
If you’re fortunate enough to live in Montreal we recommend you keep your eyes peeled for Chuck’s musical mistress Swellship. That’s a fancy way of saying he’s in a band.
Everybody loves Ian. No seriously this isn’t like Raymond... everybody actually loves him. That’s probably why we had to snatch him up with our Carbon talons. His formal education in design is only enhanced by an inate understanding of how to create positive visual communications.
Did we mention Ian is a professional appreciator of the finer points of design and fashion? Don’t believe us? We suggest you visit our sister site The Splash Fantastic to get a taste of Ian... and his writing.
