Accomplishments
KILLED IT Urban Zombie
Dove headfirst into all of the branding and UX/UI for the infested, augmented-reality world of Urban Zombie. The iPhone app allowed users to fight zombies in real-time as they sprouted up from all around and attacked. Hunters were also able to keep stats for themselves and friends, find and pin locations on a map, find sponsored logos, plus a myriad of other features the developer wanted to showcase for his company. Heady stuff for 2012. Urban Zombie wound up providing the DNA for Mountain Dew's cross promotion with The Walking Dead Encounter app.
RODE THE LIGHTNING PayGo Utilities
Partnered with a scrappy group of entrepreneurs who were making smart meters to sell to electric utility companies. They are now leaders in providing cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that offers prepaid payment services for utility customers (water, gas and electric) in the United States. Developed their brand and collateral as well as designed multiple websites, trade show materials and early iterations of their app.
