Kamloops Square Mural
Community Paint Day
We organised a community paint day where any one could come and make their mark on the mural. I designed the section of the wall that was accessible without a ladder to be a large hedge and the public filled it in with flowers, stars, cats, bees and butterfly. We had an amazing turn out and folks were so happy to be a part of the process!

Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health
I worked closely with the Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health including a design consultation with the youth council members to come up with a concept that felt true to the centre. Empathy, resilience, empowerment, courage and diversity were key words that came up in the discussion, as well as the idea of windows into people's lives. The concept explores small daily acts that represent the themese we discussed. The youth council members also helped paint the mural that is installed in the centres new office.
