Flavour Bay, Premium Spice Packaging
Flavour Bay is a quirky spice company that targets young, environmentally conscious adults with a passion for cooking. The challenge was to develop sustainable packaging they would consider keeping.
The square tins are more space efficient, and the labels and barcode are removable. Additionally, a portion of the profits goes towards protecting the wildlife where the spices are grown.

City of Vancouver Utility Box Art
Working with the Integrated Graffiti Management Program and the Business Improvement Association of the West End, I created artwork for a vinyl art wrap on a utility box that visually told a story about the history and culture of the area. I conducted extensive research both online and on site, created sketches, communicated with the clients, and prepared the artwork using a digital template provided by the city. #publicart #illustrator #digitalart #vancouver…Working with the Integrated Graffiti Management Program and the Business Improvement Association of the West End, I created artwork for a vinyl art wrap on a utility box that visually told a story about the history and culture of the area.

Biomimicry Web Illustrations
These web illustrations appeared on the company's microsite for an event about design and biomimicry called The Garden of Secrets. The objective was to create illustrations that merged traditional botanical drawing with contemporary design. One of the biggest challenges we overcame with this project was to come up with illustrations that were modern and graphic, but didn't stray too far from the luxury tea company's brand. #web #illustration

East Van Jazz Fest Poster (Personal Project)
A #poster for a fictitious festival hosted by The Cultch. The imagery embodies East Vancouver, the iconic neighbourhood where the jazz festival takes place. The colours and illustration style reflect the raw nature of the music genre. The flowing typography emulates the flight path of the crows that migrate over the neighbourhood daily.
