I was Brought in to help design and implement a streaming media system at Parsons. I helped organize the video equipment, help to find a real-time editing solution and assist designers Doris Yee and Chris Calmyn build the site for the project.
I was brought in as a Creative Consultant for the re-branding of the ‘mktg’ marketing group here in New York. I was responsible for helping the Creative Director concept and architect their new web presence.
They have since re-designed again, but here are the designs that I submitted.
User Scenario Video – Edited with Erica Osher
Parsons developed an iPhone game based on the Mannahatta Project by Dr. Eric Sanderson at the Wildlife Conservation Society. I helped to design the initial prototype of the game with Katrina Bekessy, Mike Edwards and Kyle Lee working under the direction of Colleen Macklin at Parsons.
I also directed and produced this user-scenario video to promote the game and produced the music for the video.
Settlers of Manhattan was an independent Study at Parsons the New School for Design conducted by David Carroll and Colleen Macklin. I worked with Dong Yoon Park and Kelly Nichols to design a game using he Waag Society’s 7scenes software running on Nokia NSeries phones.
The main impetus for the project was to explore new ways to design and prototype locative mobile games to help educate High School kids about the original Dutch Settlers of Manhattan in the early 1600’s.
Play-Testing on the Nokia
Players were playing as an advance scouting team gathering resources for the main settlement teams that are arriving by ship.
Players' Maps
Each team of settlers has different needs. Teams must explore the play-space to gather the required resources. They may also trade with other teams to attain the needed resources. The game was played by three teams of high school kids on December 9, 2009 at the PlayTech Festival.
