Wolfenstein
Flash Actionscript programming on the main UI for the well known first-person shooter game Wolfenstein. The game is available on XBOX 360, PS 3 and PC.
Mostly Mozart
How many composers are separated from Mozart by six degrees? While there are many, only a handful are represented in Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in NYC and I was tasked to help patrons explore and learn about each composer and their relation to relations to Mozart.
AirTran - Everyflight.com
Using AMFPHP, Flex 3 and MySQL, I built the backend code behind this viral website used to promote wifi on AirTran flights.
Culver's Made-to-Order Meal Builder
Making sense of a fast food chain's menu and all of the nutritional information that comes with it is something I've been trying to do for a while. For Culver's, I was given the opportunity to build a Flex app on their site to help customers make sense of the meals they select.
ATT - Speak In Thumbs
A great opportunity working with FirstBorn, this project was ATT's online answer to their SpeakInThumbs campaign to promote two new phones in 2008.
Kohl's Holiday 2008
I was brought in to build out one of several components that drive the Kohl's Holiday 2008 microsite. Using some agile methodologies that I've been perfecting lately, I was able to turn this around at a lightning pace.
Vote Custard
I had the opportunity to work with some great people at Hiebing to put together this Flash viral site for Culver's. Another site with a tight deadline that launched on time!
Kohls FallTrends
Another tight deadline with little wiggle room, I built a micro site (again) using nothing less than a clean OO framework and AS3 to help promote Kohl's fall season clothing.
FlashBelt Website
Being overseas for two months this Summer, I wasn't able to make it out to the FlashBelt conference in Minneapolis. Being one of my favorite conferences, I wanted to help out with building a lean, mean site that can be fully maintained with a custom built CMS.
The Melnikov House
A Website for the revolutionary Russian Avant-garde architect Konstantin Melnikov (Константин Мельников). Working with FirstBorn, I was responsible for all backend, frontend and Flash programming on a site that accomodates both Russian and English.
The Russian Avant-gard Foundation
I worked together with FirstBorn to build the new Website for the Russian Avant-garde Foundation in Moscow. The site features, aside from being available in Russian and English, a custom-tailored CMS with a plethora of Web 2.0 interactive features throughout.
Kohl's MVC Microsite
Working together with the Kohl's creative team, I conceived and built the backend for a microsite made for most-valued Kohl's customers. The result was a portal built on a custom OO framework that utilizes Flash programming with JQuery to make the user experience more engaging.
Shrek's Treketh To Adventure
I was brought on as a senior Flash developer to help build an online game to promote the new Shrek movie and McDonalds 'go green' campaign. I gained a ton of experience working with advanced OO design patterns, subversion, as well as large-scale rich-internet application development.
Kodak Colorflow
Working with infographic illustrations from Funnel that clarified Kodak's Colorflow processes, I was brought on to manage production and build an interactive Flash piece for a trade show. The result was an engaging experience that serves as a tool to help educate customers.
Kohl's ColorTrends Spring Collection
Under a tight deadline, I was brought on to build a Flash piece to promote spring products at the department store. All was built in AS3.
Kodak Workflow
My task on this project was small, but crucial. Upgrade this pre-built Flash application to Flash 8 to utilize it's Saffron text rendering engine to keep the type clear and inline with Kodak's expectations.
Experimental
Job Title Arcs
Examining the FEC data of donations to Obama and McCain, we did a visualization to search for patterns between the top-most donor job titles and the amount of money donated.
2008 Presidential Candidate Donations Visualization
Another data viz piece using an insane amount of data, we used over 1.4 million rows of data from the FEC to examine donations for Obama and McCain. An experiment to find a quick and accurate way to visualize this much information.
Patterns in Oscar Movies
Using a dataset provided by the InfoVis 2007 contest, we (at Pitch) devised several visualizations to find patterns among actors in Oscar-winning movies from the past 10 years. The result were three pieces that we found compelling and revealing, as did visualcomplexity.
Processing Basics
I've been working with Processing during free moments this year. To demonstrate just how easy Processing can be to start out with, I made this 'worm' to show how you can create seemingly complex visuals with just a few lines of code.
FastFood Calorie Visualization
This is a piece I concepted and started on literally the morning of my session at FlashBelt this year. At that time, I only showed one meal at one fast food chain (McDonalds). Since then, I've taken this further to show several more chains with downloadable source code.
Simple Data Visualization
Speaking at FlashBelt 2007, I demonstrated some of the basics of data visualization using a simple and easy to obtain data set that compared temperatures between two regions of the country I've lived in. Starting on a grid and then moving to more abstract methods using Flash and AS3.
WhereAreYouFrom
The visual display of information has been a passion of mine for years, yet I have only recently had the courage to start making it myself. This is my first attempt at a graph that depicts where I have lived in my life with visual representations of how long I lived in each place.
Physical
Office Space
I've been working out of my studio since autumn 2006 and it's been a great experience. 2007 saw the most challenging and largest projects I've ever worked on and I look forward to what 2008 has in store. Have a look at how the office has evolved over the past 1.5 years.
Pitch White T-Shirt
Just to mix it up, I wanted to make a t-shirt that was a little brighter than the black on black. The result was a white t-shirt with blue Pitch system. American Apparel.
Pitch Hoodie
Holiday hoodies for friends and clients! While we had about 40 iterations to pick form, I couldn't resist something super minimal and black on black. American Apparel.
Pitch Black T-Shirt
Printed on American Apparel and arguably the most confortable t-shirt to date, this was my first attempt at designing a physical object. I had 60 of these printed.
