wayfinding, urban design, and selected works - PART TWO -

Pfaffenhofen Mini-museum Concept Project Part of the Wayfinding Design short course program at the University of Arts London, required us to re-design a small living-space into a museum setting and create a
wayfinding visual identity for the space. I chose the housing complex I lived in as my potential "museum space". I developed a colour palette based off he early 1900s artist collective The Group of Seven’s artwork. The colours were checked to see if they were
visually accessible and then applied to mock-ups for a final decision.

Iconography: Researching Munich’s Metro System Part of my PhD research involved creating a method to study user behaviour in public transit. Documenting said behaviour on a map
was key to visualizing the data. Multiple maps were created to visualise the varied elements of public transport and wayfinding within these environments. Icons were needed to depict specific
transit modes. The maps tell us how individuals navigated throughout the space and
where they felt positive, neutral, or negative feelings. All of this data was then correlated and analysed. The findings are thoroughly discussed in my dissertation and can be found in the articles I published (also found at the end of this portfolio).

mobil.LAB Group Avatars During my PhD I was a part of a research group called the mobil.LAB. For the mobil.LAB's final conference, I drew a portrait of each member of the doctoral research
group. These drawings were used as the avatars for each of the speakers, and also as the profile photos on the conference website. Here are a select few of them.

M.U.D.D. Design projects RIGHT: The partial cap of the M30 highway in Madrid was designed when I was a master's student at the University of New South Wales, as part of a design stay at Fundacion Metropoli (Alcobendas,
Spain). Each cap encompasses a landmark structure within a precinct and connected by active transport paths. The design takes on an "artificial nature" approach - creating a functional open space
system within the existing built environment.. BELOW: Part of a design project during the Master of Urban
Development and Design program at the University of New South Wales, I designed what Sydney could look like without an elevated highway running through the Central Business District and
presupposes the highway is buried underground. The central axis remains to allow for a re-knitting of the of the city grid by highlighting the connection between Darling Harbour and Circular
Quay.

Playing with Shape and Colour UPPER LEFT: I created this image for a friend of mine as a housewarming gift. I wanted to capture the loving playfulness of their relationship.
BOTTOM LEFT: Two images of the Munich transport system – one sketch of people waiting for a tram, the other a coloured drawing of the busy Hauptbahnhof (Central Station). BELOW: A drawing of the North Carr boat in Dundee Harbour on a crisp winter day.
