I'm an art director working in interactive design, and occasionally motion design. I love design – be it with digital or print; graphic or industrial; furniture or architectural.

An outdoorsy fellow by nature, I enjoy non-traditional sports, making steel furniture, pondering philosophy, rocking/ chilling to music (which is a huge motivator and inspiration to me), and cooking.

Sprite Spark Music Mixer   client: Sprite   agency: AKQA  /  2010 Sprite Spark Music Mixer
When Sprite decided to launch it first global campaign, they turned to AKQA to make it come to life online. Tasked with creating an experience that incorporated music as the main element, and could go from North American web & smart phone and degrade gracefully to an Indian or South African mobile experience. And unlike many campaigns of this size, You can see from the pitch concept animation that we were able to carry our idea through to execution without losing a beat.
