Hi Quinlyn!

  Working with my coworkers on the Communications team at the Lifesaving Society we created this new River Safety Rack Card. The intent was to educate the public about the dangers of rivers, while also providing information for them if they choose to be on, in, or near rivers. Together we came up with the concept for the illustration and I executed it. We wanted to show how the dangers of a river are hidden or hard to see. While our my coworker who is the expert on public education messaging provided us with information to include, we worked together to decide what was the most important information to share. Here are the facts about rivers: Nationwide, rivers are the second most common location where drownings occur. Riverbanks can be slippery and covered in debris, making it easy to fall into the water and difficult to climb back out. Even if the water appears calm, powerful undercurrents and undertows are just beneath the surface. Canadian rivers are cold year-round. Cold water ...

  Congratulations Christian Starr on your debut in Japan! It is always exciting seeing a friend make their dream a reality! Even cooler when they do it while wearing something you helped them design! Chris had a base design, but asked for help changing the colours and figuring out how the colours would go together. I'm excited to work with him on future designs to expand his gear collection!

My first major project at the Lifesaving Society was a collaboration with the City of Edmonton. This project was intended to educate patrons at City of Edmonton recreation centres about safety when using steam rooms, saunas, and hot tubs. The experience was incredible, the City of Edmonton was great to work with and were very impressed with my art! The feedback process was helpful and I think it ensured that our final product was the best it could be! This project was special to me because my Mom, who is a graphic artist has worked with the City of Edmonton for many years. Her art has graced the walls of recreation centres across the city. So now, I am continuing the family tradition of creating art for city rec centres! This project was finished in the fall of 2024. For your aquatic safety needs contact The Lifesaving Society
