December, 2014

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's The New Typography explores many ideas about type but his idea of "uninhibited linear direction" inspired the interaction method for the site.

The page is controlled via scrolling, however instead of standard vertical scrolling or horizontal scrolling, the page is built around the concept of radial scrolling and navigation. As you scroll through the page, the contents of the manifesto spin and grow. This allows for a circular and fluid contemporary design that meshes with the web as a medium and Moholy-Nagy's classic design theory.

Studio IT Posters

Core-tenet posters for the absolutely wonderful Studio IT department at PlayStation. Exploring the contrast of anachronism within both the medium & vernacular of the poster alongside the cutting edge work that the department does. Inspired by ye olde snake-oil advertisements.

Pack House

Pack House was a new platform for connecting artists and venues —similar to Airbnb. It included a contract builder far ahead of its time that allowed for collaboration, a messaging interface, interactive illustrations, profile pages, a dashboard, a scheduler, a discovery engine, and a process to leave reviews. I was the sole designer on the project and did the Front-End HTML, CSS/SCSS, & Javascript. I designed and developed wireframes, mockups, logos, workflows, forms, profiles, dashboards, icons, mailing templates. I worked collaboratively with a developer and used Git, Bootstrap, SASS, and Angular Directives on this project. Sadly the site is down, so please use the links above to view a static version of the site that I used during design/development.

Gewrinclan

"Gewrinclan (gew-rin-clan / gewrinclian) is a recent martial arts style tied to the symbol of mankind’s least-noted transformative ability: our pruney fingers." This is a fictional, lighthearded, and personal thesis project in which I explored themes of water, spirituality, martial-arts, manifestos, cultures, and self-improvement through design. I began with the phrase "Pruney Fingers" and locked myself into developing a 6-month long project around that stupid idea.

Wireframe

Wireframe is an exhibition showcasing innovative, contemporary web design alongside historical, culturally-relevant websites.

Inspired by wireframes and sitemaps, this lattice-like framework became both a full, flexible identity and a wayfinding system for the physical space. It guides, connects, and contains the pieces in the exhibit and the people moving through it.
