Human Factors Journal Entry #4

The fear of public speaking is greater than the fear of death. Individuals would literally rather die than speak in front of a group of people. It is one of people’s deepest fears; you are nervous, all eyes are on you and everyone is listening intently to what you are saying. Before 2006, I would’ve […]

#birdnerd

I wanted to share some pictures I took of a Northern Pygmy Owl during the December school break. It was a snowy and overcast day. I thought I had spotted a Whisky Jack, who are very common in the mountains. But it turned out, I had managed to spot an owl who is only seven inches tall. These photographs were snapped with my Canon point and shoot, I wish I had had my better camera with me! I use the tag #birdnerd when I post my pictures on Instagram, I’ve always been a closet bird nerd/ lover but now I share my photographs. I hope you enjoy the photographs as much as I enjoyed the experience.

Human Factors Journal Entry #3

Visiting the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge to make observations and write journal entries for class has become a weekend routine. I visited the suspension bridge and park trails again, to see if the third time was a charm. After Dr. Dan’s lecture on “Sensation – Perception – Cognition”, I thought it would be fun to […]

Human Factors Journal Entry #2

After such a successful first experience of observations at my chosen location (Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge), I wanted to return to see if I would have the same success. I also took the time to walk the trails and fill my lungs with the fresh mountain air. I went on another weekend day, Saturday this […]

Built in 1912, the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is suspended 50 metres above the river below and is 40 metres across. The bridge is made of wooden planks and offers a rustic and lively encounter. Having being raised on the North Shore and spending a lot of time on the trails in this temperate rainforest […]

2015

A joyous Happy New Year to all! The December 2014 school break couldn’t come fast enough… I was so happy to have some rest and relaxation from school. I went to California with my parents and talked through a lot of the things that were bothering me. Those issues are not totally resolved but I […]

Everyday I’m Hustlin’

Or in my case… struggling’. Life is full of ups and downs and this year has been no different. I started the 2014 year / finished my first year of the Product Design degree with my highest grades ever. Then I busted my butt all summer in an attempt to earn enough money for tuition and the […]

Project 3

The proposed site I visited and researched is the Capilano Salmon Hatchery, located off of Capilano Road in North Vancouver. The area is used to showcase and educate visitors on the unique and delicate salmon species. Set next to the Capilano River in the Capilano River Regional Park, the location is tranquil and picturesque. Read More

Biennale’s Open Air Museum

On a beautiful sunny Wednesday, I adventured to Squamish with my classmate Marc (http://milkywilky.com or http://www.marcsist.com) to explore the Squamish BIKEnnale/ WALKennale Tour, part of the Vancouver Biennale’s Open Air Museum. The beautiful sunshine and crisp cold air made for a truly refreshing experience. We visited four of the five installments in Squamish, two of the Open Air Museum and two of the Artist Residency Program.

Project 2

PROJECT STATEMENT “Triggered!” at Science World at Telus World of Science is an exciting new environmental education exhibit. Based upon the research field-trip to the site and the informative presentation from Jody and Rob, I was able to develop an exhibit which encourages the user to engage and interact.
