The "Save the Water" design series was realized during an illustration class at Emily Carr University, Vancouver, in 2017. The idea came after over a year living in the Yukon with no running water. The "blue jug life" was quite manageable despite a few challenges. Overall, this style of living was mostly a realization of how much effort and money it takes to bring fresh drinking water into a home.

Selected pages of a graphic novel initiated as part of a class at Emily Carr University in Vancouver.
