Throughout my time at Steveston-London Secondary School, I have had the pleasure of creating numerous shark-themed designs and illustrations. Starting in my Sophomore year as a Grade 9 student, I crafted various shark-themed items for school events, clubs, and activities. Below are some of the illustrations I’ve done for my school (In chronological order), each design prominently featuring our mascot, the shark.

SLSS Jazz band Hoodie 2024
As a member of the SLSS jazz band throughout my entire high school career (grades 8-12), I designed this hoodie, which was purchased by our jazz band members.
As I sifted through photos and assembled this site, I was overcome with a swirl of emotions—sentimental, bittersweet, and nostalgic. Reflecting on the process, I realize that while creating these designs was often challenging and time-consuming, I now hold those experiences in deep appreciation. What stands out most is the connection I formed with my grad class and the broader SLSS community. These relationships and shared moments made the entire journey special and memorable.
Creating this page for my portfolio brought me a wave of nostalgia that I hadn’t experienced even at my graduation. Revisiting these memories through this project has given me a profound new perspective on the significance of those years and the impact of the people who made them so meaningful.
