Poor Places

I’ve compiled a short list of the North American Third World. Thanks to Google Streetview, you can all experience parts of the United States that have been long forgotten:

Google Patents Glitch
in Humor, Internet on August 26, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Ok, so, call me what you will for searching this term, but:
When you search Google Patents for the term “farts” you get an ungodly amount of results. Why?
The OCR used to add this data is flawed, and thinks the P’s are F’s.Bravo. I’m going to go contest my design for my adjustable feed angle farts feeder immediately.

Love Hurts - Aw Shirt
in Design on August 25, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Bountee went away and they were reborn as MySoti. I guess the advantage is that they allow for prints and PNGs, but my Justice T-Shirts disappeared and there was no way to set-up re-directs during the migration. So, I’ve released a new shirt under a new profile and you can get it on your fancy pants American Apparel fabric. -
Viva Vivariums.
in Uncategorized on May 24, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Ok. For some reason I decided to turn the fishtank into a vivarium. All of the fish have been relocated to a 30 gallon tub. I got some orchid moss and peat moss (I read the Atlanta Botanical Gardens use that) and I found some moss outside growing in sugarsand. There were some other fancy plants growing in the most abandoned alley in downtown Jacksonville. Hopefully it won’t die and it’s less maintenance than goldfish.

Free Vector US Map (the scribble version)
in Design, Free on February 10, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Ok. This map has served its purpose. I’d developed it my senior year at Flagler for a zine I used in my portfolio. It’s time to unload this and see what good it can do anyone else. This sketchbook-style vector map of the United States is now available for download and subsequent use.

New Year, New Blog
in music on December 29, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Ok, so, www.creativeprogeny.com is officially defunct and the tutorials are gone. I’ll be re-publishing them here and adding some new ones when time permits. In the spirit of the holidays, I’m posting this MIA vs. Le Tigre mashup that I’m calling “Hot QT”.
Enjoy.
And remember: Over the limit, under arrest.
State of the Re:Union
NPR VIA CREATIVE EMPIRES
Getting to work with poet & playwrite Al Letson on his city-centric documentary-style radio program has been amazing. We launched version 1 of State of the Re:Union for Jacksonville's episode in late July of 2009 and set the bar a little higher for public radio web sites.
The National Quality Forum
Pantheon via SBS Studios
Healthcare Industry roundtables just got sexy. I was responsible for design down to the smallest details and functionality direction. Built on the world-class Ektron CMS.
Tidan Hospitality Group
VIZERGY
Tidan Hotels maintain a range of properties in Canada and the United States. Working with them to provide individuality but brand identity across their portal and 11 child sites was a daunting task, but ultimately very rewarding. Every site has its own ambience that reflects their respective regions.
Florida Public Archaeology Network - Northeast Region
FPAN
Being based in the most historic region of the state, the Northeast Region of the Florida Public Archaeology needed to set the standard for sites in their field. They were given a complete facelift with added functionality via ColdFusion. This site also spawned a sister site - Coquina Queries - which houses an on-line version of a 500-page educational course for elementary school students.
Siufaga Beach Resort
Vizergy
Siufaga is located in American Samoa, so I needed to absorb their native art and translate it to the western world. This elaborate type treatment and throwback to Samoan heritage really made the re-design of their website complete.
Healthcare Outreach Network
HON
The folks at HON needed a pro-bono package to get their organization off the ground, so they could literally take flight and begin missionary medical work in the third world. This logo did what Johnson & Johnson never could - win a legal argument over the use of the red cross symbol.

Old City Web Services
One of my former employers decided to create an RSS feed for our internal affairs, which allotted everyone a username and a post to update. It was a richer form of micro-blogging that came out about 3 months after Twitter launched. Go figure. The service's more robust features eventually became available to clients.
26th Annual Lincolnville Festival
Contest Winner
This was my entry for the poster contest when they resurrected the Lincolnville Festival in St. Augustine when I was attending Flagler College. Out of nearly one-hundred submissions, this was chosen to go to print on posters, shirts, and other items memorializing the return of the festival to downtown Lincolnville.
2008 Jacksonville AIGA Portfolio Show
Contest Winner
This is the winning entry that went to print for the AIGA Portfolio show that year as I was graduatiing from Flagler. That's two posters, two wins. In this round we had contestants from all over North Florida and SCAD.
Drift Magazine Poster & Interview
Drift Magazine by The St. Augustine Record
I was originally scheduled to run for the first issue, but got pushed back to the second. There was a feature article on myself and I decided to do a new piece for the 2-page, 4-color, pull-out. The article can be read at Drift's Blog
Mash-Up Instructional Film
Personal
I did this a couple years ago to get familiar with basic editing conventions, in the style of a late 1970's instructional film.
I was born in New York in the mid 1980s.
You may notice an abundance of web design work in the portfolio, as I was previously a Graphic Designer for Old City Web Services, a boutique web agency situated in St. Augustine. I then became lead designer at Vizergy in Jacksonville, specializing in hospitality internet marketing. I currently work for SBS Studios as an Interactive Designer.
I have a B.A. in Graphic Design from Flagler College where I also studied Fine Art..
I am proficient with Adobe products (that includes Adobe/Macromedia). I develop the majority of the content on my sites using XHTML, but I've worked with PHP and Coldfusion as well. More technical qualifications are availble on my resumè.
If I had to describe my style, I'd say it's very bold.
As hobbies, I enjoy DJing and doodling.
