When Apple decided to incorporate a pedometer into the iPod Nano 5G, Nike turned to R/GA for a website to visualize the aggregate data. The result was Nike+ Active. Every step accumulates towards accomplishing goals based on calories burned using foods and destinations as metaphors, transforming the simple act of walking into a game.

Wayne ‘Buck’ Shelford is one of rugby’s most dynamic personalities and among the most fearless players ever to put on a jersey. For The Rugby World Cup 2011 held in New Zealand, MasterCard gives fans and rivals alike the opportunity to Ask Buck anything they want via Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Each week Buck will answer his favorite user-submitted questions and comment on matches as The Rugby World Cup progresses.
And, for the first time ever, rugby fans around the world will have the ability to decide who will be named MasterCard’s Man of the Match.

Nike+ seamlessly captures your run data via a plus-enabled device to map your runs, track your progress and get the motivation you need to keep going through a platform that connects you to the world’s largest running community.
Two years after the launch of the original platform, Nike+ had over 2 million registered runners, more than 100 million synced miles, and was quickly outgrowing the capabilities of its initial design. Realizing this, Nike challenged us to redesign the experience to match the evolving needs of our users.
The Nike+ relaunch incorporates existing content and functionality while enhancing the experience with over two dozen new features and six different level-based color schemes. Available in over 16 different languages and spread across 230 screens, this was the new home for the world’s largest running community.Web Design, Interaction Design, Icon Design2011 -

After successfully redesigning Nike+, our next logical challenge was to condense and streamline the flash-based site for mobile web browsers. The resulting solution faithfully maintains the functionality, look and feel of the desktop version while creating an optimized experience for gesture-based smartphones.Web Design, Graphic Design, Icon Design2011 -

An ambitious undertaking, the Nike+ Human Race was conceived to unite the world in running a 10K for a good cause. No less ambitious was the Human Race site which sought to engage and inform users while building excitement before, during, and after race day. The site hosted two dozen local city blogs with race day information, personalized profiles for each registrant, free music sport mixes triggered by level of engagement, and a pledging module tied to miles run with Nike+. More than 700,000 unique users from all over the world registered for the Nike+ Human Race and ran together on August 31, 2008.Web Design, Graphic Design2011 -

The Nike+ Mini is a fully customizable character which functions as a runner’s “Mini Me”. Once created, a Mini's mood and messages change to match the runner’s activity every time they do (or don't) log a run. The Mini can be taken beyond the site (in screensavers, blogs, and facebook) as a playful personal motivation tool and for bragging to friends. Nike+ Mini proved so popular that it received several upgrades and became an integral element in our relaunch of the Nike+ site.
This was the perfect hybrid project for me in that it gave me the opportunity to combine my experience as an illustrator with my passion for design and play. The process was nothing but fun start to finish.Web Design, Digital Art, Game Design2011 -

Sampling of storyboards I've illustrated over the years for clients including Nike, MasterCard, Home Depot, and Cartoon Network. I find Storyboards are amazing and essential tools for quickly getting across a story idea in terms of content, composition and tone.
Truly a pleasure whenever I get to work on these and trust the future continues to hold opportunities for me to draft boards of larger scale and greater detail.Illustration, Storyboarding, Storytelling2011 -
Personal Project
A challenge of taking two seemingly unrelated elements; a personal story of overcoming conflict (passing of the family matriarch during the course of this project) and an era of design (streamline moderne), discovering their common story threads and using them as the inspirational force to conceive and construct a chair.
Presented with the final design are insights to the concept process, maquette fabrication, and photoshoot for the finished piece.Furniture Design2011
