EVERYDAY SUPERHEROES
Markham Museum, 2025-2027
4000 square foot exhibition that highlights numerous individuals in Markham that together create a strong and thriving community through their innovation, compassion, and dedication to serving others.
I was the sole designer on this project with the objective of bringing the large gallery space to life with splashy, attention-grabbing graphics that invite an audience of mostly children in to interact with the activities, stories and artifacts on display.
The graphic design is inspired by classic comic book art and heavily features illustration. It includes the creation of several community superhero avatars, as well as 80+ hand-drawn comic-style portraits of individuals who contributed their stories to the exhibit.
Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
New Head Office main lobby, 2025
Upon the completion of the TRCA's new, state-of-the-art head office and administration centre, I was commissioned to provide the graphic design for a permanent orientation exhibition in the main lobby.
The exhibition is an introduction to the mission of the TRCA, and showcases many of the notable and iconic ecosystems under the origanization's purvue. The exhibit also highlights many of the architectural features that contribute to the building's LEED 4.1 Platinum status.
Illustration is featured heavily throughout the display, celebrating the amazing diversity of flora and fauna found throughout the Greater Toronto Area. The colour scheme is inspired directly from the city's vast and remarkable system of ravines.
MARKHAM MOVES
Markham Museum, 2019-2023
7000 square foot exhibition about transportation technology and the science of movement.
I was the sole designer on a small development team with the objective of creating an accessible and engaging experience for museum visitors.
A key design goal was to animate the open gallery space using scale, colour, and illustration. The palette was an expansion of primary colours, applied to a racing flag, and a series of repeating transportation icons throughout the space.
My role included all exhibit text writing, panel and label layout, illustration, wayfinding, information design, gallery floorplan, and interactive module design.
