Devon Bortscher / Managing Director

Devon is an experienced strategist, marketing expert and all-around nice guy… except that we just realized we were describing someone else. Devon is the founder of SAVIAN. We don’t really know what he does around here, so let’s just assume he’s nice to have around.

Meet Cam, the creative genius behind our design agency. Cam’s designs will leave you in awe, but don’t be surprised if you see him taking a nap in the corner of the office. He’s not being lazy, he’s just accessing his creativity in dreamland. Despite the constant yawns, doodles on napkins, and other narcoleptic tendencies, Cam’s passion for design never fades. He always manages to deliver exceptional work, even while he’s sleeping.

Shae McMullin / UX Designer

Alright, here’s the scoop on Shae: Edmonton’s design darling who once took a crack at Sheridan’s animation world, but one animation degree later and it was like, ‘Animation who?’ Now, with a shiny Bachelor’s from MacEwan, she’s diving deep into UXD, making the digital realm feel all warm and fuzzy. Off the clock? She’s nose-deep in a book or… valiantly attempting to cook. Hey, even superheroes have their kryptonite!

Chad is a master at making the impossible possible, using his programming skills to bring our clients’ wildest design dreams to life. He’s also been known to debug relationships and solve the mysteries of the universe during lunch breaks. Just don’t ask him to pick a font.

Jace Boechler - Illustrator, Designer - SAVIAN

Jace Boechler / Illustrator

Meet Jace, the game design dynamo who can out-talk your chatty aunt after two cups of coffee. Illustrator pro? Check. Game developer genius? Absolutely. When he’s not pouring his soul into his game ‘Little Hellions’, he’s gracing us with his killer illustrations. And by the way, if Jace ever goes quiet… panic! It’s either the apocalypse or he’s just taking a nap.

Wilson

Wilson / Best Friend

Meet Wilson, the friend who washed up on our shore. After years of being stranded on a deserted island, Wilson is finally making a comeback in the design world. With his unmistakable face and impressive survival skills, Wilson is sure to be a valuable asset to our agency. We just can’t make him do any team building exercises involving rafts. He’s still a little bitter about that whole “deserted island” thing.
