Disney
Worked closely with Disney's set / installation designer to design and develop a site which extended the experience of the Disney Music Block Party into the online space. This was essential as the Block Party was a new launch and potential visitors needed to be provided a sense of what they would be attending.

Brad Paisley
Worked directly with Brad and management to design and develop a site around his album, 5th Gear. The concept was to play on the notion of automobiles so I created a custom text / logo illustration reminiscent of an old car emblem and expanded the design around that.

Korn
This project was launched under a very tight timeline. The initial launch was limited to a splash page (seen here) before we moved on to the full site launch. The client specifically requested a minimal amount of flash to be included in the project.

Ice Cube
Ice Cube's previous site had been very flash heavy and not at all SEO or screen-reader friendly so when designing and developing his new site our intent was to correct this problem.

Keith Urban
Art directed and designed early concepts for keithurban.net redesign. This work became the foundation for the current iteration of the site. The concept here was to create a design which would allow for drastic stylistic and mood changes without requiring any reworking of the site structure or code.

echo Europe
After relocating to London to open a new UK based office for Ticketmaster's online marketing firm, echo, we required an Euro-centric message for potential clients in a market which was entirely unfamiliar with the company. Particular focus was paid to the services and case studies pages for clarity as the messaging on the US site was convoluted and confusing.

Addicted to the Outdoors
Art directed and designed primary art for Addicted to the Outdoors. Unfortunately the client insisted on a couple of key points which became a severe detriment to the aesthetic and usability of the final site launched.

Plink
Conceived and developed as supporting marketing pieces for a fictional animated movie while in college and based on original illustrations. The movie was intended to be an animated, toilet-humor movie targeting 17-27 year old males. The support materials were to market both the film's theatrical and retail release.
