A design exploration for a potential live performance from Bono showcasing the songs showcased within U2's latest album. The songs were a reimagining of the traditional performances, acoustic and stripped down. The brief was to create immersive environmental details within each song. These abstract particle or architectural details will help to tell the story for each song in an emotive and beautiful way. The project went away, but it was fun to explore the possible worlds within U2's catalog of beautiful songs.

I Creative Directed some potential environmental moments for a launch event of a new Royal Caribbean ship. We would inhabit these Mondala designs inspired from RC branding. Unfortunately the event was postponed, but the design would have been great to see in a large space, animated.

A design exploration for a real-time Fox Sports show for the NFL. I created a space that would be activated with animated structures to house content within the live show. Also created a graphic language showing who is IN and who is OUT within the live broadcast. I was able to try a few different styles to help define the right aesthetic. It was a lot of fun to explore details and graphic moments.

An exploration in form making. It’s always fun to tap into primitive architecture to construct complex forms. Will continue to play with these forms to build more.

Design exploration of minimal environments constructed with panels and strands of light. A fun exercise working with materials, light and repetitive form.

I had a great time Creative Directing a narrative for an installation. The piece was about creation and the connections within our world, from the expanse of space to nature and to humanity. I really enjoyed designing the story and some of the details within the piece. This project unfortunately was cancelled due to timing issues. It would have been a cool one.

Life is fragile. To demonstrate the delicate nature of hazardous work, we commissioned paper artist Jeff Nishinaka to build a huge paper sculpture. After months of careful choreography and planning, we burned it to the ground in a single take. That's how you build drama, and make a point doing it.

Worked with paper sculptor Nishinaka to design layout of sculpture to best work with film choreography. Prevized sculpture as 3d model to work out camera moves and choreography.

I designed the look of a graphic package for an upfront presentation at the New York Times building. The design is a clean, minimal, graphic design with a white on black aesthetic. The design would be refitted to the specific layout of the "geometry" to be projected onto the surface.

The frames represent the various moments within the design package. I created logo treatments to ambient/transitional moments using textural, patterns, centered, diagonal, and detailed graphics. Also specific moments that support speakers from the NY Times talking about political to narrative based content.

America On the Move

Chicago Transit Authority

An exhibit showing a day in the life of 1957 Chicago.  The museum had a 1957 Chicago Transit Authority subway train car restored to original condition.  The project was to shoot actors in period clothing interacting within train as if they were traveling along the loop in Chicago.  The live action was shot against green screen.  I built a 3D version of the Chicago loop and the CTA train car.  I animated the movement of the car behind the shot train driving from one to another station.  Then composited live action against the 3D content.  The film was then projected inside the train on a panel installed into the train to give the impression of being within the train, seeing the day unfold.

National Museum of the American Indian
Smithsonian Museum

The National Museum of the American Indian is the first national museum dedicated to preserving and protecting Native American culture and traditions while also providing Native Peoples an empowered voice to tell their own story. The Lelawi Theater is a 360-degree theater experience that introduces the visitor to many elements of Native American life in a setting inspired by Native American architecture and storytelling.

I Art Directed the film that played within the dome theater. The film played on 3 screens. Content was projected on the dome ceiling above the crowd, 3 screens crafted out of ceremonial fabric, and a rock cast in resin residing below the main screens.

Each screen would house different content, from textural visuals to animation to the main narrative content.

I worked with hardware and software vendors to get content working on site as building was finishing construction.

George C. Wolfe’s Harlem Song at the Apollo Theater was a musical and visual celebration of the brilliant energy, history and magic of Harlem.

I created artwork focused on the times and people within Harlem and its great history. Imagery projected on screen as backdrop of performance.

The USS Monitor Center at The Mariner’s Museum celebrates the legacy of one of the most famous battleships in American history: the first ironclad vessel, constructed during the Civil War.

I designed the exhibit, utilizing scrim covered pieces with aluminum tube structure.  The pieces are symbolic of the waves which sunk the ship.

The narrative of the battle and sinking would be projected onto the surfaces.

Global Symphony

Global Symphony is the centerpiece of the CDC’s Visitor Center in Atlanta, Georgia.  It spans over 90 feet in length and is a compelling canvas for media defining the far reaching mission and goals of this important health organization.

I designed compositions to tell complex stories about Malaria and other potential global issues.  I worked with exhibit designers to design layout of screens within facility.  Visualized imagery on screens with renderings to help museum curators imagine scale and complexity of content.
