Moly (pronounced moe-lee) is a creative warrior. To him work is something he gets to do for fun and gets paid for. He hangs out in bookstores, has a band and makes a killer pad thai tofu stir fry. But more importantly, Moly has an old soul and it shows in every piece of his work. He's like that dude from American Beauty who thought that a floating plastic trash bag was beautiful, but not in that creepy sort of way. Believe us, just like his work, he's one of a kind. And no, you're not crazy. There really are guys like this still out there.

Digitas | 33 Arch St Launch Party Animation

The gist»When Digitas moved its headquarters from the iconic Prudential Tower in Boston's Back Bay to a brand spankin' new building @ 33 Arch Street sandwiched between the Financial District and Downtown Crossing, they needed something part art, part advertising that would entice employees to playfully splash paint (in a controlled setting) onto a chosen fresh blank wall on the 19th floor.

I created an ActionScript-driven animation that was suggestive of the experience where the canvas was being digitally painted from a collection of brushstrokes in a random warm shade ranging anywhere from lipstick red to tangerine orange to golden yellow. Though the animation played infinitely, it was a unique creation every time, as the brushstrokes, their size, position, rotation, and shade would be chosen at random.

The gist» How do you revolutionize health insurance? How about by actually focussing more on Health and less on Insurance? This PointRoll FatBoy OLA unit educates consumers on the basics of Virgin Life Care's rewards program, which works kinda like airline miles: do healthy things, get cool stuff. But wait. On second thought...that's exactly how airmiles work, right? Sa-weet.

CaseSight | casesightinc.com

The gist»A major component of CaseSight's huge brand overhaul, the new website improved upon the previous one in a number of ways: 1) it allowed CaseSight to update content on their own due to the implementation of ExpressionEngine as the chosen CMS, 2) brought them into modern times by using standards-compliant XHTML and CSS, which 3) allowed them to reap the SEO-related benefits that come with standards compliance and 4) played a key role in establishing CaseSight as a high-value provider amongst all their competition by showcasing their work not merely as "graphics" but as actual litigation consultants.

The gist» Presentation slides that outlined the schedule for Animation Technologies' branding overhaul. A challenge was how to communicate that the process wasn't neatly linear, but rather, that multiple processes could and had to happen simultaneously in order to meet the client's target launch date.

The gist»Backing up: we know we should do it, but it's just another chore. AT&T's Online Vault solved the issue by offering automatic backup that happened online, in the background. Although many similiar solutions offered by fresh-faced start-ups had already existed at the time of Online Vault's launch, the microsite I designed offered the confidence to potential customers that Online Vault was backed up by one of America's biggest and most experienced brands: the new AT&T.

Cingular | Save Doug's Job

Industry » Telecommunications
Services » Art Direction | Web Design | Web Development
Applications » Illustrator | Photoshop | Flash

The gist» Doug works at Cingular. He's promised his boss he'd get every non-Cingular customer in the US to switch to Cingular. Is he screwed? Perhaps. But maybe you could help him out...

A fun twist on the typically boring "Get a friend to sign up, and you'll get something cool, too" scheme, this campaign created an entire world around the dorky-yet-lovable character of Doug to entertain while enticing both current and prospective Cingular customers to switch. I contributed to the development of the concept both before and after the client's buy in, produced the video that ultimately sold the idea, designed the microsite's interface, and oversaw production of creative and technical assets during the course of the project.
