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.

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 Usable Business Cards
For this year, the editors wanted business cards they could actually do something with other than just hand them out.
Concatenation
A group show where each piece was a digital riff off of the previous. Each artist had just a few days to remix and respond to one before it. My original riff on the left, and the eventual remix on the right.
Please destroy my piece
For a solo installation and exhibition, I hung string across a gallery, placed scissors at the other end, and dared visitors to cut their way through. Some dared, most did not.
Canadaland Guide to Canada
I was the lead designer for Jesse Brown/Nick Zarzycki/Vicky Mochama’s Canadaland Guide to Canada.

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
CiTR Radio

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
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.
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.
