Microsoft Surface
While at R/GA I was an art director and designer for the website launch of the Microsoft Surface. This project included the landing page, down to the accessories store, and even online advertisements.![](images/darpa_moodboard.png)
DARPA - Plan X
While at frog design, I was the lead designer on the DARPA - Plan X project v1. While I can't show much, I have included an early mood board I created that we based the look of the final project on. Here is an article from Wired about the project.![](images/telstra.png)
Telstra Mobile Shop
I spent six months as one of the lead designers on the Telstra Mobile Shop. While the initial experience has changed a bit over the years – the shopping cart and check out experience that I designed are still being used. Scroll down and click 'Buy Now' to check it out![](images/polk_logo_final.png)
Polk Audio
At frog I had the opportunity to work on branding project for Polk Audio. I created the Polk logo and also made the initial collateral that would be the catalyst for the more comprehensive rebrand.![](images/club_penguin.png)
Club Penguin
One of my favorite projects while working at frog was working on a friends list experience that was consistent across all disney online gaming properties. The screen above is from the late Club Penguin.![](images/wdw.png)
Disney
I touched on a lot of Disney projects while at frog, mostly around the Magic Band ecosystem. This is a screen from the home page of a booking process. While you are at it - why not book a trip to Disney World. :)![](images/open_tv.png)
Open TV
This was an experimental TV browsing experience that was partnered with a tablet companion. I had a lot of fun working on this and I still believe that the television and the content that lives on it still has a lot of opportunity for creative exploration.![](images/tv_chatter.png)
TV Chatter
This was an internal app built at frog that integrated twitter into content browsing in a TV experience. The idea was that you could engage with the communities of the shows that you loved all on your TV...but SPOILERS!
Thanks for taking a look!
