UPMC Stories
Responsive site design. UPMC Stories is a
microsite featuring true stories of care and commitment
from patients, family members, and UPMC employees. In addition to being able to view these stories, users are
encouraged to share their own. The modular grid layout was designed to accommodate multiple screen sizes.

Ketel One
Design explorations for an
online participation platform, which include a stand-alone website and pre-launch social media
components. Also shown: out-of-home redesign.
My role in both instances was to push the established visual language of the brand's "Gentlemen,
This Is Vodka" campaign to create distinctive, contemporary designs.

100 Drawings
Snapshot-based line drawings,
one per day for 100 days. Inspired by various other one-per-day self initiated projects
seen around the web, I gave myself 15–20 minutes each day to grab a snapshot from
around the Flatiron neighborhood (on the street or out the window) and sketch it
in Illustrator. Shown are some of the more successful results.

Robitussin Library Game
Rich media expandable. The brief was to create a Whack-a-Mole
game in which the player must use Robitussin to suppress coughs in a library, thus avoiding the "shushing" of the librarian. We used
randomly-generated modular shelf arrangements and increasing speed over the course of 4–7 rounds to create a simple yet challenging game.
Developed at Grey NY with programmer Elena Drozd.
