Brand homes, museums, and immersive spaces — sold, designed, built, and shipped to run every day, unattended, for years.
Installations across museums and brand homes. Each one had a real technical problem worth solving — so here's the work, and what it actually took to ship it.
A 24-ft LED wall and live NOAA radar, driven across 50+ screens with hands-on games.
What it tookThe wall renders an HTML layout off a video processor that crashes if you feed it the wrong resolution. Every layout block got pinned to its exact pixel region, with fallbacks that let a dropped feed fail quietly instead of taking the whole wall down.
Six synchronized apps and six video channels mapping a continent-scale brand story.
What it tookEverything stays in lockstep over WebSockets, built end to end inside Toyota's design system. The most complex build in the Center — engineered to read as one simple story about people, places, and cars.
One touchscreen driving a four-display wall of innovation.
What it tookWebSockets sync the four displays to the touch interface; a second script fires UDP to the lighting controller so the room reacts as you swipe. Content pulled and cleared straight from Toyota's patent archives.
A projection-mapped table where the plant, roads, and neighborhoods light up.
What it tookHand-crafted animation aligned to real satellite imagery and the plant's actual footprint, calibrated to the physical table so the map lands exactly where the geography does.
A LEED Platinum certification told as a touchscreen story instead of a plaque.
What it tookPlain-language sustainability built to ADA touch-reach ranges, with an attract loop that resets after inactivity to pull the next guest in.
Drag solar panels across a cartoon Detroit skyline, chase the sun, dodge clouds.
What it tookReal solar concepts — angle, shading, efficiency — wrapped in a fast, kid-height game with short cycles so the station never bottlenecks during a school group.
Banana peel, pizza box, bottle — where does it go?
What it tookLocalized to Detroit's actual bin rules, so what a kid learns on the floor is still true when they get home.
Guests drop a pin for where they're from; kids draw and submit their stories.
What it tookOffline-first so it never stalls without a network, with a drawing canvas and an admin panel that routes every submission straight into the museum team's project-management flow.
Constellations trace themselves in, layered with stories from different traditions.
What it tookFact-checked across multiple cultural sky traditions and the astronomy before a single line was drawn — large-format print paired with quiet animation.
Decades of Toyota commercials, browsable on a 65-inch portrait touchscreen.
What it tookCurated with Toyota's brand and archival team to clear and sequence each era — safety, family, innovation — into one timeline a visitor can actually scrub through.
Families tap into Michigan's outdoor destinations and see what they can do there.
What it tookBuilt in ArcGIS Experience Builder so the museum can add places and update content over time without touching code or calling me.
Live environmental data rendered as calm, ambient information.
What it tookAPI-fed displays designed to read as part of the architecture rather than one more loud dashboard — calm technology, on purpose.
A digital reader living inside Toyota's California design studio.
What it tookA finished, deployed product — not a prototype — running every day inside a working design-research environment.
Publications, illustrated maps, large-format printing, and identity.
What it tookPrint-ready prepress and original illustration for when the experience lives on paper, not a screen.
Touchscreen kiosks, wayfinding, and community walls across brand homes and museums.
What it tookBuilt to run unattended for years, designed for every age and comfort level, and instrumented so the client can see what people actually touch.
Technology isn’t the flex anymore — value is. I design public experiences that pull people in, reward curiosity, and survive contact with hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.
Story and place first, then the systems: ADA-compliant, multilingual, offline-first, remotely monitored, built to run unattended. I sell it, design it, build it, and I’m there on opening day.
Shaping a brand home, rethinking a gallery, or scoping a new interactive? I connect story, space, and systems — and make sure it still works a year after launch.
