Poraver Recycled Glass Insulation
Poraver takes post-consumer glass that can't be recycled, grinds it up, adds water and an expanding agent, and bakes it at 900°C. The resulting tiny lightweight beads can be added to just about any construction material to increase insulative properties, reduce weight, replace virgin resources, and contribute to LEED credits.
With such a broad range of applications, illustration is the ideal medium to bring them all together in one image. Interactivity allows the viewer to explore the different uses up close, creating an immersive environment for the communication of information.
See the finished interactive module I created for Poraver for use at their trade shows.

Interactive Award for Air Canada Leaveless
Marketel has been recognized with an Applied Arts Interactive Media Award for Leaveless, Air Canada's environmental responsibility site. I provided illustrations for the site, in the style of safety brochures found on planes, to explain Air Canada's safety measures against climate change.
Well done Marketel and Air Canada!

Air Canada Leaveless
Air Canada's new environmental responsibility site, Leaveless, is now live. Featuring flight safety styled technical illustrations by me, the site explains the company's green initiatives including more fuel efficient aircraft, weight reductions and trials with hydrogen fueled ground vehicles. Hats off to Air Canada for taking measures for a greener world.

Plas-tech Manufacturing & Design Facility
Plas-Tech is a one-stop plastic component design & manufacturing company. They came to me with a problem; their equipment enables them to manufacture virtually anything, but their customers work in very specific industries. Together we developed a package that communicates the breadth of their capabilities, as well as demonstrates specialization in their customers' markets.
See an interactive tour of their facility and target markets in the Motion Graphics Portfolio.

New Technical Illustration and Motion Graphics
Some additions to my illustration and new motion graphics portfolios. I've taken down the comics section because I have very little time to dedicate to it. Look for it going back up sometime in May.
