Mapping Musical Genres
60" × 40" print — Spring 2014
Multi-dimensional graph-based visualization representing the development of and influences between major musical genres from 1940—2000 (built using data from The Echo Nest APIs).
Branding the Contemporary Fringe
Interactive application — Fall 2013
An experimental project which attempts to brand the contemporary fringe of art & design through a 2D visualization which reacts to user input via webcam.
You Are The Product
Website — Fall 2013
A typography-driven project which takes a critical look at the economics of popular free web services–such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter–which invert the traditional product consumption relationship.
Electronic Synthesis Visualizer
Interactive application — Spring 2014
A simple browser-based synthesizer that visualizes subtractive synthesis over time. Users can play notes using their keyboard and see ADSR envelopes move across the isometric 3D canvas.
Tweet Topic Correlation Between US Counties
Interactive application — Spring 2014
A force-directed graph visualization which draws attention to particularly unique correlations of topics tweeted in different U.S. counties.
Data source: Penn's World Well-Being Project.
Scrobble Goggles
iOS application — Fall 2013
Take a photo of an album with your iOS device and use the Google Goggles API to match it. Then, scrobble the tracks from that album to Last.fm.
Buzz, Your Smart Doorman
Concept, prototype & marketing materials — Spring 2014
A “smart” doorbell which sends you an SMS when a visitor arrives.
Losing My Edge
5" × 7" letterpress print — Fall 2012
A graphical interpretation of a text using only typography. I used the lyrics from the LCD Soundsystem song Losing My Edge.
PennApps Hackathon
Website — Fall 2013
Logo design, website, branding, and creative direction for one of the largest student hackathons in the U.S.
Nostrand
12" vinyl cover art — Fall 2012
A vinyl cover designed to visually evoke the sounds of the song Nostrand by Ratatat.
Levine
Custom typeface & sample sheet — Fall 2012
A custom typeface designed from a photograph I took of a building on UPenn's campus.
Creative Process Book
