Originally formed in 2002 as an independent recording collective, LHIVER supported a small community of Calgary musicians. Focus shifted exclusively to graphic design as partners pursued different projects, but LHIVER continued to provide graphic design services in the music community, as well as for artist-run organizations and start-ups in the Calgary area. Business activity expanded into China, Europe and Australia from 2008 to 2012 while developing a wide range of advertising and marketing materials with a special focus on print, typography and corporate identity guidelines. LHIVER also offers domain and web hosting management services as well as WordPress website and CMS packages.
