Breakfast Boost

Interactive Design Website

What began as a collection of my favourite breakfast recipes evolved into a website dedicated to helping others discover the joy of breakfast. The goal of Breakfast Boost is to inspire university students to nourish their mind and body with breakfast and open up conversations about self-love and body image.

Bee Aware

Infographic

Bee Aware is an infographic that raises awareness of the fact that Canada’s wild pollinators are declining. Honey bees often get the majority of media attention, while native pollinators, such as bumble bees, are at risk of extinction. The challenge with this project was to take complex research and extract the most vital information and display it in a clear and organized structure. This infographic provides a simple guide on the plight of our pollinators, while conveying a sense of hope.
