The Work We Do

So, what kind of work is done in this little skyscraper of gilded stucco?

Well, the best we can offer for an answer at the moment, is that it is what it is. Design, a dash of metal fabrication, a splash of software development, and some photos to taste. We don’t know why, or what central theme there is. Or how far it'll go. Ultimately we're on the same ride as everyone else, watching the same film as it unfolds.

Please enjoy this collection of projects we've been a part of. We're adding new things (and old things) daily as we finish refurbishing our online presence. Stay tuned as much is subject to change.

Noise

Productivity App — In House Productivity Team

It was never knowing when I'd need to concentrate, always being stuck just too far from the peace and quiet of my wood trimmed study. It was the constant need to focus through the noise of public commotion, it's from this desire that Noise came.

Lonely Box

Interactive Prototype — Made for an OrdinaryKids Popular Workshop Exhibition

What if things could feel? And then if they could what feelings would they have? I gave this little box one mode to perceive, movement and orientation. And one mean with which to express itself, a heartbeat of light and vibration.

Interactive Installation — Senior Exhibition at the College for Creative Studies

Standing there, at the end of an undergraduate, I found that I was no longer in the things that I had created throughout my studies — they seemed but strange relics in hindsight. So, in stead we have a showcase of reflection, over a showcase of production.
