We're a small design consultancy in downtown Toronto. We love building websites, creating identities, and helping companies with their communications and marketing.

They call it "interactive decentralization". It's the way young, dynamic companies are moving forward in the digitally connected web-millennium, and that's how we do it, too. We're a close network of like-minded individuals -- coders and designers, all with the same passion for great creative and producing solid results for our clients.

Blueshift began in 2005 initially to serve the urban development vertical; home builders, land developers, construction firms, and industrial-product manufacturers. We've since branched off, and have included in our roster of clients companies from a wide gamut of industries; financial consulting firms, alumni institutions, charities and non-profits, and other advertising and communications agencies. The one commonality among them: each client we've ever had is still a client of ours today.


Richard Lee, B.Comm

Lead Designer & Managing Partner

The irony is that long before I had aspirations of becoming a graphic designer, I already was one during highschool at Rapp Collins Worldwide, working on big brands like Esso, Ford, SC Johnson and Purolator. Four years of university obtaining a BComm from Queen's didn't put me on a different career path; it only taught me that I needed to get back into design. I went to Sheridan for a graduate program in New Media Design, and soon after Blueshift was formed.


When I'm not busy running the company, you can find me philosophizing and practicing kung fu, hunting for the next mid-century modern treasure on Queen Street, or dreaming about exhibiting my non-existent artwork in my own gallery/show.
