Turtle Bread Clip
I used a hanging turtle illustration to confront plastic pollution while promoting responsible materials. The cross shaped eyes symbolize death and also function as the bread bag securing hole, while the narrowed neck guides users to wrap the plastic and references how marine animals are harmed by waste. I removed front facing text to create an immediate emotional impact through graphic storytelling. By choosing illustration over photography, I keep the message powerful but appropriate for a public setting. The back provided the solution by explaining the use of water soluble plastic for packaging. It balanced awareness with reassurance and showing how both brands and consumers can take part in environmental action.

WalkScape Toronto
WalkScape Toronto is a neighbourhood based walking challenge that reframes short everyday trips as a creative and community driven alternative to car dependency. Through UX research, public focused design advocacy, and visual identity development, our team explored how gamification, social recognition, and tangible metrics like kilometres not driven and CO2 savings can motivate behaviour change. The concept turns GPS tracked walks into shareable route art, supported by features such as community galleries, badges, and weekly challenges that make walking feel enjoyable, visible, and socially rewarding rather than abstract or guilt based.

Root Canal Initiation: Post-Anesthesia
This infographic was designed for both dental professionals and patients, so I prioritized clarity through simple visuals and straightforward step titles. I highlighted the treated tooth with a filled color to represent the crown and reflect how root canal teeth appear white on real x-rays due to filling materials. The step by step graphics use circular forms that align with the tooth icons, creating a consistent ratio and parallel structure throughout the layout. A health associated blue color and clean Arial sans serif typography also support readability and a clean, modern look that I aim for.

Education and Equity Map
It maps the relationship between education, gender equality, and economic outcomes across global regions. Using UN Sustainable Development Goal indicators, I designed an infographic that combines choropleth mapping, bubble charts, and stacked column charts to reveal disparities in women’s autonomy, unemployment by sex, and international resource flows. The design was created for both general audiences and development focused readers, prioritizing visual clarity over dense statistics. I used culturally neutral earth tones for comfort and global relevance, paired with clean Arial typography for readability. Curved connection lines also transform the data into a flow map, emphasizing how education acts as a bridge linking social and economic outcomes worldwide.

Deconstruction and Reconstruction of The Canon PowerShot SX740
This project explored both deconstruction and reconstruction in design. We first analyzed the Canon PowerShot SX740 to understand how its physical interface, sensory interactions, and nostalgic appeal shape user experience and cultural value. Then, we reimagined the camera as the Canon WorldShot, a speculative AR device for 2040 that responds to climate change and anticipated nostalgia by helping users preserve and overlay disappearing environments. The work combines UX research, product redesign, and visual storytelling through interface prototypes and campaign applications. View case study.

Ladd Stamps Inc. Product Design
For Ladd Stamps Inc., I designed customizable product graphics for embossers, mugs, and leather goods based on customer research. By identifying key preferences such as birth month themes, animals, and cultural motifs, I developed zodiac collections, animal illustrations, and Chinese inspired designs to better connect with diverse customer groups.
