Stay Safe

Stay Safe is a behaviour change campaign designed for Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) to improve health and safety at their Extended Care facilities. Working in collaboration with Lan Yan and Craig Fleisch, our grad project explored the issue of safety at VCH through ethnographic research. Through co-creation sessions and job shadowing, we were able to see that a larger, overarching issue was at hand, being a lack of community. Without a community, care aides are less inclined to ask for help when needed and often end up working alone, increasing the risk of injury. Building a community would create a support structure for all levels of need in the facility. However, as each facility is different, one solution may not be appropriate for everyone.

Ping Pong was a central theme for this installation. We challenged ourselves to continue to showcase the lululemon labs merchandise through visual communication. A Window Display and T shirt design accompanied this installation.
a series of pins and other printed takeaways including trading cards were designed to give away.
This installation was a group collaboration through Thrice | Katherine Pihl, Neil McMillan, Nicola Fuller.

Sincerely Slow
images
description
This fourth year graduation project began with the realization that time was in control of our lives. In collaboration with Nicola Fuller, we became aware of our fears of wasting time, of running late, and of being unproductive and began to realize that time was in control of our lives. We found that society was dominated by the desire for speed in all areas of life. Food, fashion, travel, exercise, and so much more were all being experienced far too quickly. We began envisioning a world where the rhythms of life were slow, harmonious and provided them better opportunities for happiness.
