Kenyan Aloe Market - A development sketch detailing the exhibit.

Kenyan Aloe Market - Inspired by the markets of Africa, these aloe stands invite visitors to discover how aloe vera is farmed and processed into an array of products sold in the Laikipia region of Kenya. The open-faced design improves visitor flow and directs attention to the featured back wall.

Lion Guardian Interactive - Expert trackers, lion guardians use their skills to protect and monitor lions in Africa. In this interactive, visitors are invited to search for a lion by reading animal tracks and other clues in the environment with help from a lion guardian. The participants interact with an on-screen guardian by stepping on the animal tracks that correspond with his lesson.

Prototyping a Gazelle Exhibit - A full-scale mock-up of a gazelle exhibit, depicting a field researcher’s study of gazelle migration (below). The exercise provided important insights that led to a more dimensional, structured exhibit (right). Images from the trial quickly became a useful reference for other members of the design team developing similar exhibits.

CGI Model - This CGI model was built in Vectorworks from the architect's floor plan, shown below. It provided a means of quickly developing design alternatives and presentation material to meet a tight timeline. I placed the graphic designer's concepts in the model to ensure the gallery could be 'seen' at any point in the rapid development cycle.

Wall-mounted exhibit concept - This proposed feature wall for the design building at Carleton University showcases inspiring graduate-level work in an effort to instill pride within the department and promote the quality of the program to prospective students and visitors to the school of Industrial Design.

Wall-mounted exhibit concept - The Rail system sections and graphic panels can be easily rearranged and updated to achieve the desired layout. The graphics are mounted in the slots between wall sections, as shown in the diagram.
