I was contracted by Metia to create this animated video for Dell, Intel, and Service King. They supplied the script and I created the storyboards and illustrations, then brought it to life using After Effects. It was exciting to work with Dell’s new brand guidelines and to balance the branding requirements of the three brands in the video.
Another fun animated infographic video for Dell (contracted thru Metia). The teams at Dell & Metia liked my work on the first video so they asked me to do this one in the same style.

Metia contracted me to design and build a series of HTML5 animated banner ads for a Microsoft campaign. These ads are built to work on all devices.
This interactive experience was a unique challenge. Dell needed a “web site” that would function on a 7′ wide touch screen in their booth at a conference. Metia Solutions contracted me to work with their developers to create this touch-friendly customer journey.
The Lloyd District of Portland was undergoing a rebrand for their Transit Management Association (TMA). A Portland designer provided the designs and I built the animations using HTML5 and Javascript. There were four animations in total.
Microsoft was trying to get IT Professionals to make the switch from XP to Windows 7. I designed this game to illustrate the benefits of Windows 7 in a fun and informative fashion. The interface is from the perspective of an IT Pro and as we make our technology choices, we can see how each decision affects the happiness of our boss and our users. The goal is to make the Boss and User happiness meters go as high as you can while unlocking as many star bonuses. This project was done while working as Senior Interactive Designer at Metia.

If you don’t have Internet Explorer, you can watch the screen capture…
You know how Xbox has interactive advertisements? If not, well, they do. And they can be pretty cool, too. This “ad demo” is a simulation of an Xbox interactive ad built in Silverlight. Since a Microsoft salesperson can’t run around town selling ads with an actual Xbox unit, this solution allowed them to use their laptop instead. These ads were designed by someone else. We took video screenshots of the live Xbox ads and recreated them in Silverlight. This work was done while working at Metia as the Senior Interactive Designer.

No Internet Explorer? No problem. Here’s a video screen capture:
While working for Metia, I created this animation for the WebMatrix website development platform. I incorporated product features in a slick, branded animation. The composition has a seamless flow from one screen to the next which helps keep a viewer’s attention.
Poke, shake, and swipe! Get physical with Metia Man and discover his “special move” in each of the six scenes. After building this costume out of foam and shooting and editing the video, I used background artwork from Chris Zappala and audio code from Dylan Kilgore to bring this highly interactive and entertaining peice of mobile app marketing to life. This project was done while employed at Metia (images and apps are their property).
