"36 Days of Type is a project that invites designers, illustrators, and visual artists to express their particular view on the letters and numbers of our alphabet." —36daysoftype.com

In three years I sought to experiment and and try completely different approaches to type design and typography:

In the most recent campaign I decided to combine a new interest in food styling and food photography with my undying love for typography. Over 26 consecutive days, I cooked, carved, sculpted, staged, shot, edited, and ate every single thing you see in these photos. The result, a series titled “TastyType,” is an expression of three of my favourite things in life: food, photography, and typography. 

In 2017, I created a series that captures the geometric modularity of the alphabet and uses a few simple shapes to represent each letterform. 

In 2016 I handlettered submissions honouring heritage letterforms from various eras with a few experimental interpretations for good measure.

Skills utilized: photography, photo editing, graphic design, illustration, handlettering, and drawing.

I worked as a UX/UI designer at CBC Music, the Canadian authority on local and international music. In my time there, and with help from a team of developers and other designers, we re-launched the web-based streaming service and continually refined usability and added new features.

In addition, I worked on interface elements and graphic treatments throughout the product, and occasionally contributed to the editorial side of the site (See blog for writing samples).  

Skills utilized: UX design, UI design, information architecture, graphic design, web design, photo editing, iconography, and copywriting.

I take a lot of pride in my city and community; so when OnTheGrid asked me if I wanted to contribute to the Vancouver guide I was delighted.
