The global consulting firm Navigant Consulting came to Design Reactor for a complete overhaul to their corporate web presence. Design Reactor conducted extensive research and came back to Navigant with plan to build a sophisticated interactive site that would set them apart from their competitors in the Professional Services Industry. The end result serves as a tool for accessing Navigant’s intellectual capital, positions their professionals as knowledge experts, and keeps the Navigant Brand relevant to their target clients.

In my role as Creative Lead, I coordinated and oversaw the creative implementation from end-to-end, supervising several designers, 3D artists, and production artists.

HP came turned to Design Reactor to create an engaging and immersive interactive experience to help communicate better with their customers their commitment to Business Technology. In my role as creative lead on the HP Business Technology center, I oversaw the entirety of the creative process. Working closely with the client, Design Reactor Executive staff, and a core team of immensely talented individuals, we carried the project from the earliest concept exercises to the final integration. The HP BTC incorporated site architecture, environment design, scripting, live-action video, voice-over recording, extensive green-screen compositing, motion graphics, UI design, flash programming, and metrics.

Concurrent with the construction of the HP Business Technology Center “proper”, We also were charged with building a handful of content demos with which to populate the BTC. These sub-projects included product demos, awareness pieces, webinars, and the like.

I was asked by 3Degrees Media to conceptualize and construct an ambient, looping animation for the lobby of the Adobe Headquarters in San Jose. The only direction given to me was that it had to “show off their patents”.
