I was the lead designer for Jesse Brown/Nick Zarzycki/Vicky Mochama’s Canadaland Guide to Canada.

I started off as a print designer, somehow detoured into robotics, and am now studying privacy and trust. Here are some of my projects along the way.
Ubyssey Student Newspaper
I got my start doing print work at the Ubyssey Student Newspaper. Working with the then-photo editor Goh Iromoto (who I later worked for as an editor, PA, and grip), we experimented a lot with the physical paper itself. Most of the time, we had access to only one or two spot colours and had… Continue reading Ubyssey Student Newspaper
Looking for Gods and Punishment
I did consulting work for a digital humanities group, producing a python library for text processing and a visualization for the corpus. The project was to figure how far away words for the Gods were from words for punishment in ancient Chinese texts. You can view a working version of the visualization here.
Ubyssey Usable Business Cards
For this year, the editors wanted business cards they could actually do something with other than just hand them out.
Miscellaneous logo design
I designed a series of logos for different companies and people.
2012 BFA Exhibition Catalogue
In 2012, I was the lead designer for my graduating class exhibition catalogue. It was a lot of fun—they allowed me to spend the budget on a die cut cover and full gloss colour printing.
Set design
A CAD model and hand-built maquette for the play Green Eyes.
The Syrup Trap
The Syrup Trap was a mostly-online Canadian humour magazine. I was one of the founding editors, working mostly on audio/video projects, a single issue of a print magazine, and whatever other design work needed doing.
Going forwards, moving backwards
An installation at the Waterfront Canada Line station escalators. The piece was a computer-generated maze that had a hidden message that was viewable only through the red-tinted windows from across the street.
CiTR Radio
For a number of years, I worked as the in-house designer for CiTR 101.9 FM radio. I created a number of ad campaigns, posters, and internal documents. One of my favourite projects was the annual FunDrive, where CiTR does a week of call-in donations to support the station. Each year was a different theme. One… Continue reading CiTR Radio
