PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Brendan Tallon

General Manager - Provincial Expansion

Here at LawLabs we have big dreams, and I’m here to make those dreams a reality! I’m all about strategizing ways to bring the best version of Closer to our growing customer base. Since joining LawLabs, I can't speak highly enough of the hardworking and fun-loving people that I work with! I'm passionate about listening to customer needs and working to realize new features that meet and surpass those needs - and that's why I’m here, loving every moment.

What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done or would like to do?
A:
A few years ago, I was invited to go whitewater canoeing in the Northwest Territories, above the Arctic Circle. I'd never been on white water before - definitely a humbling and exhilerating experience! Between that, walking through frozen ice banks the size of cars, arriving at the Arctic Ocean, and seeing the sun at midnight, it was the trip of a lifetime.
What’s the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
A:
For a number of years I worked as an Emergency Medical Dispatcher, taking 911 medical calls from the public and dispatching ambulance crews to assist folks in need of help. The people I worked with were wonderful and dedicated, and given the range of things people call 911 for I was able to have some of the wildest, strangest and most rewarding phone conversations of my life!
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
A:
I once had the opportunity to live in northern Uganda and assist with community recovery there. While there were a number of sad times throughout that experience, I remember one of my colleagues complimenting my ability to find something joyful to laugh about every day. He advised me to hold onto that search for joy, to help both myself and those around me keep an eye out for the good news even on bad days. I can't count how many times that perspective has come in handy in the years since!

Victoria Lawson

Head of Experience Design

On any given day, you can find me supporting the UX design and marketing teams, working alongside the awesome people that are part of them! My role involves providing feedback and props on great designs, brainstorming new marketing strategies, and getting deep into a UX flow myself. I love it at Lawlabs because the culture puts people first, and I get to do what I like to do best - continue learning and finding solutions to people's everyday problems.

What’s the last book, movie, or TV show that made you genuinely laugh out loud?
A:
Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. Rabo Karabekian, the lead character, does an outstanding job playing out a lot of Vonnegut's favourite themes like social & environmental equality, pacifism, and art through the use of black humour and social satire. And he's a crotchety old man that lacks any self-awareness. What more could you want?
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be and why?
A:
Flight: 1. Can get to any peak and fast. 2. The pure joy of soaring through the air 3. Traffic is the enemy
What’s your ultimate comfort food that never fails to make you feel better?
A:
Does coffee count as food?

See Our values

Keep it simple

Simplicity and ease of use are at the heart of Closer, and they're our guiding principles as we continue to work through complex workflows and situations on a daily basis. When in doubt, keep it simple.

Embrace the underdog

We take an underdog mentality into everything we do. We might not be the biggest team (yet), but we’re willing to work the hardest.  This inspiration guides how we work - and with the team we’ve assembled, we have the confidence to take on any Goliath that gets in our way.

Curiosity

We believe strongly in lifelong learning and in getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. We're quick to challenge "the way it's always been done" and explore creative solutions to age-old problems.
