Over the past 15 years I have been working as an instructional media developer, creating custom graphics, animations, interactive exercises, and instructional videos for higher education.
I am an expert in most pieces of software in the Adobe Creative Suite package (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and also enjoy developing in modern javascript frameworks such as react.js and jQuery.
I am an excellent communicator and can bring your concept from napkin to notebook, working closely with you along the way to ensure you get the design and quality you're after.
Simple Chord Progression Generator
This is a personal project of mine that I have wanted to make for a while. I play a lot of music on the side and wanted to create a tool to help with songwriting. The tool is written in React.js and uses react-midi-sounds for the piano sounds.
In 2017 UBC ETS launched Sky, Water, Earth, a joint venture with the H.R. Macmillan Space Centre and Vancouver Aquarium. I worked on both print and digital assets for the project. The top image is the front of the postcard I created, and the bottom image is the back of the postcard.

This poster is the keystone design for the TEC Expo event held by Educational Technology Support in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia. This is the first poster that was conceptualized and then used to inform the design of other TEC Expo pieces. I also hosted the event in 2016 and interviewed all of the presenters while livestreaming on Facebook (to watch visit the PDCE Facebook Page).
