Role: Networking and A/V systems designer and admin.

All production during the week of hurricane Sandy. Intro An interactive ad campaign that let you imagine yourself in an electric BMWi model.

The program 'burned in' the background image, while ...

Surfing the Subway New Yawk, The Softness of Things | (0)
Sometimes when I ride the subway, I stand in the middle of the aisle with my knees bent and ride the train as if it were a less predictable ski-slope. It's rather easy but it's exciting when you catch an empty express train. The express trains reach higher speeds, so the feeling is much closer to riding downhill.

Designing a Simple Object Design, New Yawk, The Softness of Things | (0)
During our first class, we were asked to criticize ourselves in the realm of a designer. My answer was reduction. I have a tendency to complicate my design process by interjecting new ideas.

As a small, carried item. I left them attached to poles for the duration of my commute to school. No one utilized one. It was 2 PM, so the number of ...

[BKPK] a parking community New Yawk, Social Activism & Mobile Tech | (0)
BKPK is a parking space swapping service. Using text messaging, social networking or our website, users will be able to offer and take. BKPK as a cause on facebook. @BKLNPK Background Brooklyn Heights is one of the highest ticketed districts in New York and therefor in the nation. I've had a car in the neighborhood for a little more than three months and have already accrued over $300 in parking tickets. In most cases my car was ticketed within 15 minutes of the parking law going into effect. Scarcity of parking space means drivers are forced to park in zones designated for daily street ...

#freeparkBK New Yawk, Social Activism & Mobile Tech | (0)
Summary: Tired of parking tickets? Dreading that half hour drive around the neighborhood for a spot only good 'til morning? Let me introduce BKPK. Free parking in Brooklyn. I am proposing a parking-space swapping community. How will this work? There are a few systems we plan to enact. 1. Public Message Board - Users opt in to receive updates via Twitter or SMS for parking spaces in their zip code. 2. Karma System - This is an iteration of the message board with a points system. Points awarded if user posts free space [1 pt] or when he takes a posted space ...
