Projects

• Set Design for TVSet I designed for TV Pilot that we filmed in Toronto. I worked as Art Director, but conceived the initial designs and created all the renders for financial pitching in Los Angeles before we flew to Canada to build it.
• Piano for Keys to the CitiesCommissioned to create a piano design for a children's hospice, as part of the Keys to the Cities event in West Palm Beach, FL hosted by Kretzer Pianos. I chose to create an Alice in Wonderland themed piano, with hidden doors and little extra features to give kids something fun to explore. The piano was displayed after it was unveiled at at West Palm Beach public library.

  Over-sized booth art commissionCreated a 9 panel, 9x9ft mural for San Bernardo Ice Cream for the South Beach Food Show. Also designed and created the huge structure to support the mural that could be broken down and stored on a pallet for shipping. I originally recommended the art be created on printed fabric to allow for ease of shipping and installation. However, the company really wanted to produce something very different from the norm. Since building this, I have recreated it as a digital image for printing on a pre-made convention display system.
• Product Design for GamesA selection of games I've been involved in designing, along with their packaging. Most of these are for ThinkFun, who I worked closely with for a number of years.
• DOLL DESIGNVarious dolls I've worked on for companies including Mattel, DC Comics, Marvel, McDonalds, MGAE, Spin Master, Varner Studios, Bleeding Edge and more.
• Laser Maze GameI ad several roles in this game: I created the cover art for the packaging using Maya and Illustrator. I also created a 2 min "How to Play" video for the game, now published on amazon and the company's site. I then created the online version of the game to integrate into a larger gaming platform that I conceived and designed called BrainLab. BrainLab is still under development pending a marketing strategy, but the game is available to play on ThinkFun's website.
