PARADISE LOST? INTERNSHIP MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY AT UBC 2013 Exhibition Design Exhibition Catalogue 8” x 10” The title, Paradise Lost?, acts as a pun, is it really disappearing? The artists in the exhibition are reflecting their interpretations on the way urban experience is changing traditional lifestyles in their countries. Some give the impression that paradise is flourishing where as others hold a much stronger opinion on the way indigenous people of the South Pacific are being displaced by economic development, lifestyle diseases such as diabetes that are becoming more relevant, and tourism redefining their traditional cultural values.

MINDFUL TYPOGRAPHY SELF-DIRECTED STUDENT WORK TYPOGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION 2012 Publication 8½" x 8" Reading four articles by Beatrice Warde, F.T. Marinetti, Jan Tschichold, and Herbert Bayer, the objective of this project was to design a publication layout that honors the content, even if it is also critical of it, with the use of a grid.
j Cover page with four circular die cuts.
CONCEPT Mindful Typography is a semi-annual journal, published spring and autumn. Each journal features four perspectives on typography, written by designers and typographers from around the world, each expressing their ideas, thoughts, and emotions involving typography. I designed the four main article title page images to correspond to the design process and ideas of each designer. I also chose a decorative line style that abstractly represents each designer, which would be used throughout each article to help create designer specific aesthetics.

KONGEÅEN CLIENT-DIRECTED STUDENT WORK SERVICE DESIGN IN DENMARK 2012 Service Design In collaboration with the Vejen municipality and local landowners we worked in groups to develop proposed solutions that improve the experience along a new public trail, running beside Kongeåen (the King’s River). The small river defines the border between Northern and Southern Jutland in Denmark running from Vejen to the west coast of Denmark and into the North Sea. Our focus was to create a coherent experience to encourage tourists visiting the Kongeå trail to gain information about the local history in a dynamic and personal way. The concept consists of a visual identity; the Chronicle, a journey map that shows both the north and south sides of Kongeåen; four touchpoint structures, to be spread out along the trail; and an interactive screen located at each touchpoint with information about the specific historical site. Collaboration with Sarah Klingenberg and Maria Molbech.

IDENTITY The shape of the logo was developed from the geographic course of the river and the shape of a crown because Kongeåen translates to “the King’s river”. The final shape is divided into four parts, giving each touchpoint its own identity.
TOUCHPOINTS Four touchpoint structures are to be located along the river, nearby historic landmarks and commodities. The individual shapes found in the KongeĂĽen logo are used for the physical shapes of each shelter.

DETOUR CLIENT-DIRECTED STUDENT WORK CORE DESIGN STUDIO V 2013 Brand Identity Working with CityStudio and the City of Vancouver’s Sustainability Group, I had the opportunity of developing a proposed brand identity for the Vancouver Deconstruction Hub. The hub is a proposed facility that will divert construction and demolition waste from disposal in landfills.

j Graphic element in logo.
RATIONALE The Detour brand identity was developed to be bold and engaging in its reflection of the deconstruction process. The distinctive logo is inspired by the closed loop concept on building materials, construction and renovation waste diversion from landfills, and material accessibility for reuse in future projects, forming the overall concept, pathway. It portrays a social message that Detour will offer opportunities such as education and job training programs, community building, and innovative models for sustainable reuse to people who step inside. Once inside, if you are looking for inspiration or a product you can connect with it via this pathway, toward your construction or home building project. To differentiate between various aspects of Detour (such as the warehouse, online store, workshops, etc.) the logo is used in different colours creating an easy to follow wayfinding system that coincides with the pathway concept. The concept, typography, colour palette, imagery, grid, hierarchy, and other components work together to reinforce a sense of community, loyalty, and growth throughout the brand identity.

ANATOMY OF LETTERS SELF-DIRECTED ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY 2014 Typography, Letter Anatomy This project visually expands basic typographical terms in both text and display environments, highlighting various components that make up a letterform. Playing off the clarity of overlays in human anatomy books, this project makes letter anatomy accessible by breaking down letterforms into layers. The reference book offers insight into 36 typographical terms, the triptych of layered Plexiglas highlights letterforms with various terms at a large, display scale, and the pocket reference provides a quick overview.

OPENSPACE: REFRESH, RECHARGE, REFOCUS SELF-DIRECTED CORE DESIGN STUDIO VI + VII SEPTEMBER 2014–APRIL 2015 Undergraduate Thesis Project During my final year at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, in partnership with the Health Design Lab at Emily Carr and the Maplewood Alternative High School, I investigated ways communication design can help develop tools that will enable and empower students with learning differences to maximize their individual potential within a typical classroom environment. Working with students, specifically grade eight and nine classes, I focused on two key problem space areas: 1 The lack of interventions appropriate for grade eight and nine students who are in the transition period between elementary and upper high school. 2 The limited amount of transition time between back-to-back classes, which can heighten stress and anxiety.

SYSTEM openspace: refresh, recharge, refocus offers a simple mindfulness-based intervention to students. The rationale for this intervention is that by shifting attention away from a stress producing or anxietyprovoking stimulus, such as a math quiz, to a neutral point such as a breathing oriented activity card, students can gain increased control over behaviours. By shifting the mind to concentrate on breathing, the individual is able to anchor the mind on an unrelated task and be in the present moment. Students at Maplewood Alternative High School work extremely hard for the entire day, with seven blocks of class and tutoring. Having brief interventions throughout the day can help re-stimulate student minds so they can stay on track. Thoughts can be refreshed to help discover new solutions to a problem, see a situation through a different lens. Attention is shifted without having students lose total interest within the learning environment. The space and energy of the entire class becomes neutralized, allowing everyone to regroup.
The concept behind openspace is based on the notion of a pause, opening up a small space at the beginning of each class for students to regulate their minds and bodies for improved learning. The primary component in the openspace toolkit includes a printed set of colour-coded activity cards that offer energy shifting strategies targeting three aspects of mindfulness: intention, attention, and attitude. The activity cards are categorized into five spaces: calm, energize, challenge, create, and collaborate. The suggested activities are short one to five-minute scenarios, allowing students enough time to refresh, recharge, and refocus, increasing behaviour, emotional, and cognitive engagement that positively affects his or her academic achievement. Secondary components in the toolkit include a display for the cards that acts as a reference to guide activity selection, an information booklet for teachers and parents, and the packaging system.
Calm
j Calm, to relax minds and bodies. Activities centered around calmness help relax and center the minds and bodies of students through breath, visualization, and meditative movement, bringing awareness to the present moment, and letting go of unnecessary energy.
Energize
j Energize, to get the blood flowing to brains and bodies. Energizing activities provide simple, structured opportunities to stand up, stretch, and balance for physical relief from long periods of sitting. This helps to improve focus and maintain an efficient functioning body system.
Challenge
j Challenge, to activate minds for thinking. Activities that pose a challenge, activate minds for thinking by stimulating the brain to refresh thought process. Discover various solutions to a problem or see a situation through a different lens.
Create
j Create, to engage students in creative thinking patterns. Creativity helps eases the mind through wonder and exploration allowing students to better understand their creative thinking patterns, while relieving anxiety, stress, and built up energy.
Collaborate
j Collaborate, to build on communication and social abilities. Students interact with other classmates by sharing, discussing, or making something. They have the opportunity to learn something new about each other, building their collaborative skills without competition.
