Paper Crane is a digital studio in Calgary, with a second office in Vancouver. We work with nonprofits, municipalities and public bodies, tourism organizations and growing companies across Canada and the US. We do four kinds of work, and most clients use more than one.

AI strategy, training and automation. We look at how your organization uses AI today, write the plan and the staff policy, and train your team on ChatGPT and Claude using the work they already do. Then we build AI into your operations: tasks captured from Slack and meetings, early warnings on at-risk projects, and search over your own documents, with a person signing off on anything that matters. We are a member of the Claude Partner Network.

Branding and graphic design. Brand strategy, naming, visual identity, campaign and sales materials, print and packaging. Our work for Maisie Eatery won three MUSE Creative Awards.

Websites. Component-based sites your team runs without a developer, built on Sanity and Next.js or modern WordPress, accessible to WCAG and structured so search engines and AI answer engines can read them. We are a Sanity Agency Partner, a WP Engine partner and a Webflow Certified Partner.

Custom software. Internal platforms, portals and products you own outright. Zephy started as a billing tool and became its own company. RDCK Engage replaced a proprietary public-engagement platform at more than 95% lower cost.

Clients include the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories, Krown, Tourism Lethbridge, CHF BC, CCASA and the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

Paper Crane Reviews


Reviews from Google Maps are available on this profile.
Working with Paper Crane is a joy. From our first meeting to project wrap they delivered high quality, creative work that we wouldn't have been able to produce in house. They truly felt like an extension of our team, bringing humor, a diligent work ethic and inspired campaign designs. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them and sincerely hope we have an opportunity to work together again in the future. "
Samantha Davis's Review Sourced from Google
We love working with Robert and the team at PaperCrane. I appreciate the quality, professionalism, creativity and value that PC provides. I also love working with Tara and Emily on the project coordination and design, both are exceptional in their roles. If you appreciate a partner who provides care and attention that a boutique firm provides, you cannot go wrong with PaperCrane "

We recently wrapped up a large website project with Paper Crane, and I cannot say enough good things about this team. They are so wonderful to work with, detail oriented, helpful, and of course their team's expertise is unmatched. Would recommend them to anyone considering working with them :) "
Allison Wheeler's Review Sourced from Google
Rob & the rest of the Paper Crane team have been invaluable to our success! They've helped us build our vision from the ground up, and walked us through it every step of the way. They built a sophisticated backend system that orchestrates multiple complex data sources while optimizing it for easy use on the front-end.Between all the complex features they've built and the seamless Ui/Functionality they've been nothing short of excellent. For anyone needing a development partner who can build complex, multi-source data platforms with user-friendly management interfaces, Paper Crane is the best choice out there! "
Jake Austin's Review Sourced from Google
Paper Crane is one of our go-to partners when it comes to custom web development. The team is wonderful to work with, super collaborative, and always on top of the latest tech with great pros/cons lists around various platform options depending on a client's needs. Robert is a great addition to any digital pitch team too as he's able to outline explain tech options in a results-friendly way. And don't even get me started on how awesome their tracksuits are... "
