THE BLUE PARADOX

A massive, immersive exhibit about ocean plastic at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago.


By far the biggest thing I’ve ever worked on, in terms of physical scale, budget, and people. 5 rooms, hundreds of servers, screens, projectors, sensors, and more, all talking to one another to make a very, very involved multimedia experience.

Radical Media hired me as a Creative Technologist to assist on a wide sampling of production duties, especially the show control system, server provisioning, and LAN. 

Check out the case study here and go see it if you’re in Chicago!

SHIP IT!

A digital-physical arcade game installation at GitHub Universe, 2023


I’ve read somewhere that a good bespoke arcade game is exactly the social lubricant every tech conference needs, but so few actually receive.

While I’ve never actually read that, I did conceive, pitch, and Creative Direct ‘Ship it!’, an original video game in which players cooperatively build whimsical inventions in a sci-fi laboratory. Inspired by Overcooked, Rick and Morty, and Git,  the game was cheeky, button-mashy, and chaotic in a good way.

I managed illustrators & animators, designed the tactile interfaces, game mechanics, and sounds, and worked with the indomitable Evan Gannon (developer) and Syd Lea (producer) to make this nerdy lil fever dream real! 

I also cut a little case study below if you’re curious (borrowing some B-roll from a GitHub promo, thank you!)

THE DASHERS

An immersive body scanning experience for Marvel + Doordash at New York Comic Con, 2022.



In fall of 2022, Marvel and Doordash debut “The Dashers”, a comicbook series in which a team of DoorDash delivery people moonlight as evil-fighting superheroes.

THAexp built out a series of experiences to immerse Comic Con goers in the story, and I created a body scanning experience using TouchDesigner, Kinect, LED screens, and haptics to scan users for superpowers.




Over 1,000 attendees experienced the installation, with an estimated social reach of over 100,000.

DJ ROYGBIV

An interactive musical installation for Made in America Festival, 2019.

Using  inflatables, LEDs, and a custom interface, users remixed an original song composed 16 color-assigned samples. Each sample activated lights and modulated airflow to the 10’ inflatable of the same color, creating a multi-sensory musical experience.
