Water Usage
These graphics were created to illustrate the results from a water usage survey. In the Fall of 2009, 50 UBC students were interviewed and asked to estimate their personal daily usage of fresh, potable water including cooking, cleaning, showering, drinking, and laundry. They were not asked to estimate industrial water consumption for agriculture or manufacturing. The results of the survey are plotted below.
The survey results were then compared against national averages across the globe. The highest estimate, by a university-educated student, was just over half of the actual average across canada.
And in British Columbia, we’re some of the worst consumers in Canada (and, ultimately, the world).

A fun graphic representing the trials of being a UBC student (living on the wet coast), and how far you can get from the student union building before your battle against the monstrous puddles is lost. Don’t believe me? Check out what this group or this group have to say.

Pique Newsmagazine: March Cover Illustration
Power from the Underground.
The feature story for this week’s edition of the Pique Newsmagazine was geothermal energy. I had a lot of fun creating a maze of pipes and playing around with textures to create this cover illustration and was pleased with the final product, an eye-catching target for all visitors passing by the newstands.

Words vs Pictures: the ongoing battle between the camera and the pen?
The concept for this cover was to create an illustration using only type. The image was built up slowly, with layers of text overlaid to create shadows and definition, eventually revealing the booty in our mountainous backyard.
Belly Dancing
Belly dancing is a rich and sensual experience, both for the dancer as well as for the audience. When asked to design a business card for a belly dance instructor, I wanted to ensure this ambiance was aptly portrayed.
The card has a simple design but the graphic was custom and the typefaces carefully chosen.
