This is an early prototype of four LED ski suits for a Swiss Ski commercial after two teams failed in Chile and Switzerland to make durable, battery-powered, waterproof, bright & evenly lit suits. Working with Francine LeCoultre, we figured it out and got them helicopter-rushed delivered to set.

The Wheels of Feels!
In partnership with my great friend and frequent collaborator, Tiffany Kimmel, we created an interactive window display for 826 LA’s Time Travel Mart, called the “Wheels of Feels!” in which we ask visitors to spin the Emotional Barometer and create their own self-portrait based off that emotion. Tiffany created an interactive writing prompt to instruct writers on how to build a character based on their emotional memories. As she put it, “These 5-question profiles are writing prompts for exploring their own pasts in order to rewrite the future.”
