For one of my grad projects, I wished to investigate the subject of love, in particular its relationship to science.
Love is a universal emotion that is often easy to experience yet extremely difficult to fully comprehend and explain. It’s complexity and ability to influence and control behaviour is beyond the rationality of the human mind. Love can be felt on numerous levels, ranging from generic pleasure to interpersonal attachment such as romantic love, sexual love, familial love, and platonic love.

The BC Children's Hospital strives to provide expert health care to sick and/or injured children. The BCCH offers services that may not be available anywhere else in the province.
This project was in collaboration with two other students, Vince Lo and Alvin Kwan. The redesign of the BCCH website focuses on the concept of making the hospital more accessible from home. The new website will incorporate a newly conceived visual language and have important information readily available. In addition, a marketing campaign was pursued in order to leverage the new functions of the website and encourage parents and patients to utilize the web components.

Type Specimen Book
This third year assignment was about understanding the history of type design. The ten page saddle stapled booklet features three significant typefaces from different historical periods. Each spread in the booklet uses the typographic style of the period that the historical font originated in.The book states historical information about the typeface, and each spread presents the typeface in a historically appropriate manner that reflects how the type would have been used when it was first designed. The typefaces presented in my book includes Caslon, Didot, and Futura.
Deliverables: 1, 10 page saddle stapled booklet.

Grey Area
Fall 2010 Grad Project
Trying my hand at black and white photography did not impress me. I constantly fought the urge to capture the colours that captured me. I went through countless rolls of film only to be disappointed when all that developed were shades of grey. Although I knew they would turn out this way, and some were really quite beautiful, I was still disappointed. I longed to revisit the vivid colour that I remembered photographing.

This monograph re-contextualizes the essay by Gina M. Matillo and Chris J. Boyatzis whose research discusses how the Power Rangers TV show increases aggression/violence in children around the age of 5 to 11. The project aims to provide a critical revisiting of the TV “classic" Power Rangers and to raise the question of where TV/Media violence levels stand today.
