One City is a nonprofit foundation that provides food for needy families in Jersey City. I designed their logo as well as their website, and developed the site in Wordpress so that the client could easily update it.
This site has yet to go live and is filled with dummy text at the moment, but is intended to educate the user about the development of the Jersey City Powerhouse. Once an old power plant, the building is being re-stabilized and re-purposed as an arts and entertainment destination. I worked with the project’s existing [...]
Brand messages are pervasive in contemporary culture and create a language of symbols and ideas attached to commodities. Often in the public sphere, our belongings signify our identity more than words, but this product-based communication is only tacitly understood.
‘Branded!’ is a satirical web application that subverts this “semiotics of stuff.” Ostensibly backed by the expertise [...]
This site for the Parsons Fashion Benefit is a collaboration between RGA and five Parsons students (myself included). My personal contribution was to design and code the video player; all the work came together really well and I’m pleased with our result.

Each piece carries an embedded RFID tag which holds the user’s profile information, and can be viewed and edited through a Flash interface. The concept was to allow the user to imbue the jewelry with aspects of her identity and to [...]
Concept:
Luminairies are small lights that illuminate when the wind is blowing. They are meant to be installed in the trees in Union Sq as an urban intervention, but have many other applications. By infusing the currents of air in the park with actual electrical current, luminairies visualize the natural climate to the park’s visitors. It [...]
This multichannel video piece is meant to express the synchronicity and interconnectivity of the human experience. In the beginning, the protagonist feels cut off from the world, and goes for a walk to regain perspective. He makes fleeting connections with various characters, and in the end realizes his problems and anxieties are insignificant in relation [...]
This was a version of my portfolio site I authored in Flash (AS2). I abandoned it for a simpler and more robust interface, but I like this piece as an experimental navigational structure. It’s built around the principles of the Golden Ratio, or Phi. Visit Site
