Red Betty Theatre (Hamilton, Ontario)

Show poster and social media advertisement visuals designed for the Inaugural Decolonise Your Ears New Play Festival (a three-day virtual festival).

Decolonising theatre means expressing culturally specific ideas, mythologies, music, dance; IBPOC bodies occupying space in celebration of our unique identities, and subverting rigid hierarchies that inevitably harm ‘lesser’ company members, in favour of a more equitable approach. I took inspiration from Dadaist collage work in order to bring the show’s themes to life visually.

DMZ Ventures (Toronto, Ontario)

DMZ Ventures challenged Toronto Metropolitan University students to create a new logo for the newly launched venture-arm, DMZ Ventures. My proposal was the winning submission which acted as inspiration for the logo redesign process in conjunction with the Marketing & Communications team.

DMZ Ventures, formerly Ryerson Futures Inc., is a global for-profit accelerator for seed-stage startups operating in Canada, India and Vietnam. DMZV also offers an innovation consulting practice for corporate clients to explore new innovation and technologies alongside leading-edge startups.

BentallGreenOak (Toronto, Ontario)

Toronto Metropolitan University, formerly Ryerson University (Toronto, Ontario)

This Master Professional Communication academic poster visually conveys to the viewer the key arguments of my Major Research Paper titled “Her Winning Personality”: Critical Discourse Analysis of Media Portrayals of Females in Sport. This was presented at the Master of Professional Communication Virtual Showcase in August of 2020. Using a combination of academic research and graphic design, this communicates to the audience the sports media framing techniques used when writing about Simone Biles, Megan Rapinoe, and Serena Williams in ESPN articles. 

The Master of Professional Communication (MPC) is a full-time, one-year graduate program that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skill development. The MPC program concludes with a Major Research Paper, which allows students to follow their passion for communication and explore a diverse range of topics that relate to the ways communication is influencing, and being influenced by, for example, digital media, social issues, emerging technologies, changing audiences, professional and non-profit organizations, and industry.
