Our work speaks for itself
John Hewak has been integrating text, image and design for more than 20 years. After graduating with a Master's degree in philosophy (his thesis explored the relationship between film language and linguistic theory), he became an editor and designer of medical educational software at BC Decker Publishing, pioneering some of the earliest work in personal computer animations and interactivity.
John's freelance career began at the Hamilton Spectator, where he wrote, edited and photographed for the special sections. Later he proofread and copy edited text books—including titles in law, English as a second language, and social sciences—for Harcourt Brace in Toronto.
More recently, John worked as a communications officer with St. Joseph's Healthcare Foundation and Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. His duties there included all forms of communications, media relations, photography and webmastership. He created HEWAK Communications Design in 2005 to bring intelligent writing and powerful imagery to web design.
In 2006, John joined the communications department at the Good Shepherd Development Office as communications manager and was responsible for direct mail marketing, newsletter development and design, writing and editing, event communications and design, and web design and content production.
John returned full time to hewak.ca in 2009 bringing enhanced skills and experience in web and print design and project management.
