Directors

  • Henry Faber Founder and business director

    Henry extends design principles into business strategy, problem-solving and relationship-building techniques that turn great ideas into successful products. He excels at making the complex understandable, and the understandable executable. A graduate of Emily Carr’s New Media program, he has worked as a designer, consultant and mentor for clients and organizations throughout North America.

  • Dann Toliver Technical director

    From his youth hacking on an old Apple ][+, to his first professional gig writing visualization and analysis software for NASA, through interface and application development for Fortune 500 companies, a single theme emerges: efficiency.

    Creating tools that empower users to solve their problems in an efficient fashion is his passion. Working himself out of a job as quickly as possible is his goal. Bento Box provides the perfect platform for both.

  • Jennie Faber Product director

    Born and raised in Alaska, Jennie grew up writing, gaming, and coding in the ‘90s. Now she’s an avid gamer, a recovering prescriptivist editor, and front-end developer. She draws on her editorial background to translate documentation and conversations into real user goals and create refined, useful, usable applications. Her unique range of skills—from content development to user-centered design and code—means she can quickly prototype working apps.

A little history

In 1999, Henry Faber founded Bento Box Media as a Web design boutique. We enjoyed international recognition for our design work, successful marketing campaigns and technology solutions. We also quickly found that we could offer our clients a lot more than agency-style design and development services, and that more and more were coming to us for strategic guidance.

In 2003, we began our transformation into a Web consulting team, with unique technical, design, and business strengths. Since then, we’ve been helping companies undergo strategic change to successfully carry out business online.

Over the years, we’ve had the good fortune to work with:

  • CBC
  • The David Suzuki Foundation
  • CTV
  • Federal NDP
  • Greenpeace
  • Haddock Entertainment
  • Bright Neighbor
  • Audit Tree, Inc.
  • Joel Bakan/Mark Akbar (The Corporation)
  • Purdue Pharma
  • Pangaea Consultants
