Bent boutique is a brand created for an online store that sells apparel and accessories. The original concept for this project was to brand a concept store for an idea that I would like to one day fulfill.

For this project I have created a brand, website design for the brand application, and business cards and a letterhead. There is also a brand guide that helps define to future users of this brand how they are able to use the brand in different applications, and hopefully to inspire their designs, rather than restrict.

Fashion Factory was part of a 2D Graphics course taken at VFS. The assignment included taking photos of interesting shop windows in the local downtown area, then using Photoshop to create a new display. I decided to push my skills using displacement maps and blending modes to create a fashion spread for a magazine concept.

I really enjoy blending photography with 2D elements. I am always completing new tutorials to keep pushing my skills further.
Here is a link to a post which shows some original screens for this project.

I enjoy creating vector artwork, and created a self portrait in Illustrator. This piece helped me understand how to read colours, and try and understand light. I also continued to develop my skills with the pen tool.

Here is a post in my blog where you can see the line details of this project.

Little Genius was created during my time working for Maple Technologies Ltd. I developed a logo for Little Genius, and Little Genius Baby for their series of educational dvds.

I was a part of many different roles on this project. From puppetry and voice overs, to video editing, and website designs, it was an experience full of learning opportunities.

During my time at EMD Langara College, I created a composition of Cirque du Soleil images. This was good practive when using the selection tools and blending modes during an earlier stage of my career.

While at EMD Langara College, I explored illustration and print design. I created a print brochure of the 3 sections of my life. This is a sample of the project that was created.

I love to experiment with styles and positioning of elements on a page. This was created for a History and Appreciation class at EMD Langara College.
