Volunteer, Design, Art & More:
Upholstery & Sculpture
Torhamvan/Ferryland
by Donald Lawrence, created for a solo exhibition curated by Jenifer Papararo at the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, 2005
It was an extreme honour to work as Don’s assistant to help bring his art to life: a sculptural recreation of ship wreckage, that was built on campus at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops BC, then transported and reassembled inside the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver BC.
Since 2013 I have volunteered as a DONA (Doula's of North America) trained birth doula for families in Vancouver and in Powell River, because I believe strongly in women supporting women, and the positive outcomes of support in this incredible journey of both motherhood/parenting and a child development.

Womenswear Design, Voleurz
As the womenswear designer for Voleurz, I completed technical designs and oversaw production of multi-seasonal projects while working alongside the menswear team, and travelling twice annually to Hong Kong for factory liaison duties as well as fabric sourcing, and sample adjustments via Tech Pack illustrations and hands-on fittings.
