Northern Brewer - email overhaul
Northern Brewer is the leader in homebrew equipment with a gigantic online retail presence, I helped them design, write and set the tone for their extensive email arsenal and customer connections. Great people to work with.
AMD - Restricted Access
RESTRICTED ACCESS: A wonderful, training website designed for AMD called AMD Arena. It incentivizes employees, partners and vendors to stay up to date on technology, graphics, processors and brand through courses and missions. I would be happy to take you through it personally, but have been asked to keep it secured.
Forever 21
This was the original idea for the Forever 21 Times Square Flagship store introduction. This idea was to turn Manhattan into the worlds largest fashion runway. People could stop anywhere along 5th ave and use their phone to see giant models walking the length in Forever 21 fashions. Each model would be tagged and it would allow the viewer to purchase the clothes with a touch right from the website.
This was made smaller and contained in the interactive billboard above Forever 21 in Times Square. A ground breaking idea for the agency and the brand. It set in motion a change for the agency that helped it grow many times it's size.

Mazda
RESTRICTED ACCESS: This is a learning site designed for Mazda. It begins with an onboarding curriculum for all employees, and then a series of courses assigned. The vast Mazda photo library along with negative space give this site an airy feel. It is hidden by request but I will be happy to take you through personally if you reach out.

Johnsonville Brats
This was one of a series of outdoor boards to promote these delicious brats. My inspiration was the age of backyard barbecues, the 1950's. When men stood around charcoal grills, not pizza ovens or propane fire pits. On a side note, my godparents were sign painters at one time. They replicated a drawing from one grid on paper to a larger grid on the billboard. Thanks for the inspiration, Marj and Ed.
