French designer Marie-Noëlle Ghesquière approached me to design and develop a database-driven, content-managed flash portfolio to showcase her work in fashion and jewelry. The stills above are taken from the site currently in development. It will launch February 2010.

Publishers W.W. Norton & Co. approached me about producing a site to coincide with the release of author Ferenc Mate's latest book, A Vineyard in Tuscany. The scope of the project quickly expanded to cover Ferenc's many other pursuits, wine-making, photography, and sailing among them. All of these are represented in the site I delivered and continue to help them maintain.

Argentine production house 3Bien! ('tress-byen') recently asked me to develop their flash-based portfolio. In addition to collaborating with their team on the site's design, I provided development of the entire back-end and programming, including a user-friendly solution that allows the firm's producers to easily manage and deliver their music videos, TV clips, photography, and news.

Consulting group Consumer Dynamics asked me to design and develop a web application for Pepsi that would allow employees to share ideas towards a new corporate initiative. The resulting product is a secure idea bank that lets users offer ideas and any files that would help communicate them. It also gives upper management a solution for collecting the data for further examination. Contractual obligations limit what I can show and require me to replace any text related to the project's theme with randomly generated Latin.

I designed this site for international technology and development firm AllTerra Holdings. The site focuses on the company's current efforts to establish greater internet connectivity through West Africa via BPL, or Broadband Over Power Lines technology. As their portfolio expands, I'll be working with them closely to develop their online identity.

I built this site for Argentine vinyl design house Caskaras. I collaborated with their team on select portions of the site's design, its information architecture, and provided full development of its flash programming and back-end, including a solution that lets the Caskaras team easily update their product catalogs and gallery of commissioned work. Shortly after the launch of this site Caskaras started to receive national attention.

Flash Site

Working with content as good as the kind that artist Christine Metlen regularly produces is a privilege. Indeed, artwork as good as hers demands that it be allowed be breathe in a portfolio. To that end, I've designed and built a clean database-driven site that offers a wealth of content via simple, intuitive navigation. The final site also includes a bespoke content management system.

Portfolio

Too often music sites are littered with an excess of information, leaving visitors with little incentive to continue exploring a given artist. This is especially true for sites that represent lesser-known musicians: too many photos, long, uninteresting biographies for which there really is no demand, etc. For multi-instrumentalist Tincho Loro, I go with 'less is more', producing a micro-site who's functionality will expand as needed.

Carolyn Rusin Properties contracted me to design and program an application that would let them manage virtually all the information associated with their New York City rentals. Key features include multi-level security clearance, record and availability search, contract generation, payment tracking, and the option for administrators to build detailed PDF reports and send them via e-mail on the fly. The information in the stills above is for display only.

I designed and developed the product and information pages for online retailer Group Action Group's spring/summer'06 season. The client required implementation and integration of their e-commerce solution, as well as product photography.

I designed and built this flash site for the first incarnation of Shoulder Tap Music's online presence. It allows for management and delivery of the company's reel, which features clips from both their advertising and film-based content. The site is currently being reworked to reflect their recent focus on developing scores for film.

With a growing portfolio of works in the United States and Africa, international construction firm The Artis Group approached me to design and develop their online presence. In keeping with their request for a flash site, I provided a solution that allows them to easily update their project list and build a page for any project that would require one. These communicate any details the firm would want to share and include galleries.

I built this flash site for Valhalla, a Hell's Kicthen, New York City bar specializing in imported and hard-to-find beers. In addition to designing the site, I also provided the photography and developed a 360-degree virtual tour of the client's space. The Viking at right, one of the bar's various marble sculptures, is known as Odin, keeper of Norse mythology's sacred Valhalla gates.

I designed and built this flash portfolio system for New York photographer Katje Hempel. The site allows Katje to easily manage her galleries, background images, and text-based content.

This is a clip taken from brainstorming sessions I did with New York music production house MusicWave USA. I provided the firm with music composition and sound design during their pitch process for the campaign behind Ford's resurrection of the Mustang.

"On a western holiday we made plans to take a break and see what the sun hid." So go the words of a song about dark things happening against sunny backdrops. Kokomo this ain't. The images in this video consist mainly of footage taken in various remote beach towns in Uruguay.

In addition to building the film's promotional site, I contributed to the score. This is a scene featuring one of the themes I composed and recorded.
