Architectural Visualization



A landmark public space within Toronto's Port Lands revitalization, transforming former industrial lands into a vibrant, ecologically restored waterfront destination. Located on the new island of Ookwemin Minising, the 40-hectare park is centered around the renaturalized mouth of the Don River, where flood protection infrastructure, habitat restoration, and public recreation are seamlessly integrated.

As part of the architectural visualization team, I contributed to the project's renderings and illustrations, translating complex planning concepts into engaging visuals for public communication. Beyond the technical challenges of illustrating a large-scale landscape project, the work focused on conveying key design elements—including wetlands, trails, playgrounds, gathering spaces, and restored ecosystems—while communicating the park's broader vision for ecological resilience, biodiversity, flood protection, and a renewed relationship between Toronto and its waterfront.
