Darrin Auchterlonie Accounts Director
After graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Art and Bachelor of Design, Darrin worked in sales and marketing, helping to bridge the gap between marketing and design. He spent 7 years at one of Canada’s leading international seafood companies, managing all of its marketing, domestically and abroad. As well as having extensive knowledge of all packaging-related production processes, Darrin has a keen understanding of what is needed to help our clients succeed with their marketing plans. Being from the Maritimes, Darrin has a soft spot for the ocean and the East, and it’s there that he learned to surf and to use the word "Dude" as a noun and an adjective.

Frances Bartlett Writer / Project Manager
Our writer/project manager keeps a weather eye on the progress of all our jobs. Having worked in television, publishing and (our favourite) as a cook on a Swedish freighter, Frances has developed a useful talent for lateral thinking. She keeps us to our deadlines and produces copy that's lively, direct, approachable. She also catches all our "oops" typos. Her itchy feet have taken her to Hong Kong, where she lived for 10 years, and to London, England, where she obtained an MA in English Literature. Toronto is home now and we welcome her contribution to e-Eync – and we're not just saying that so she'll keep bringing that incredible lemon loaf to the office, honest!

John Sheng Principal
John's formal training in design gave him an appreciation for the pure Bauhaus approach and the beauty that's within simplicity. He's been at it quite sometime and has picked up awards for design, typography and creative direction. His experience in all facets of design communications allows him to understand the objectives of a project and realizes its potential solutions at the first meeting. His clients always leave e-Sync knowing exactly what they want and what to expect. Thanks to John's obsession with coffee, they've also come to expect a good cup of brew.

Linda Cheung Sr. Designer. Web / Interactive
You'd call her the arty type. She doesn't say a lot, but what she says, counts. Her fine art degree from University of Toronto has instilled in her an aesthetic sense that surpasses the ordinary design rhetoric. Whether she's designing a stand-alone newsletter or a complex direct mail campaign, she brings to her projects a solid visual dynamic. Her Flash and HTML programming skills are teamed with a passion for exploring and mapping the virtual world: tracking trends in business and consumer sites is second nature. Be warned – if you ask about her favourite film directors, it'll be a long conversation.

Wilfred Chung Designer. Web / Interactive
Wilfred's definitely a thinker. He brings to every project his unique analytical skills, combined with an apparently bottomless pool of technical know-how. Originally educated to be an economist at the University of Western Ontario, Wilfred had a change of heart after graduating and decided to devote his life to design, especially web and interactive presentations. His talent has proved that he embraced the right choice. We won't comment on his decisioin to take up the guitar.
