SELECTED WORK


MIRVAC.

Mirvac is making a new suburb in sunny Queensland, as part of a new $1 billion project over the next 10 or so years. They have invested heavily in new technology to help sell the suburb, including whizz-bang display suites that feature large touch screens and short range "wall-touch-screen" projectors. I was lucky enough to lead the creative and UX on this exciting project, working closely witht the dev team to oversee all details and animations.

Prospective buyers can interact to learn about infrastructure in the new area, right through to choosing a block of land or house and land package to suit their budget and size requirements and can register their interest to be contacted by sales staff.

There was a lot to learn during this project. Designing an interface that was to be larger than onesself was great fun and required a different approach from the beginning. This project recently won an AGDA Design Award for the Interactive Experience category (Touchscreen / Projection / Kiosk) . launch

THE GOOD GUYS.

I had the opportunity to lead the UX and creative for a first-to-market tablet opitimised website to house the vast catalogue of products that The Good Guys has to offer as well as a fully integrated eCommerce system, and many different promotional offers.

The tablet site was successfuly created and developed to meet an extremely short deadline and was very well received, getting good reviews in the media.

The site offers a full Path-to-Purchase experience. Stage 3 which incorporates some top secret new first-to-market functionalityis due to be released mid 2013 . launch

ICE MAGIC.

Ice Magic's first foray into Facebook competitions (yet to go live) involves the consumer creating art with Ice Magic to represent their dream holiday city, their "Ice Dream Destination". As an iconic household product for many Australian children including myself, it was important to bring out the playful personality of Ice Magic.

The client was very enthused by the Art Direction and decided to alter the promotional packaging to closely reflect the Facebook competition artwork.

BURBANK HOMES.

One proactive pitch that faded softly into nothing, was for Burbank Homes. The plan was to excite the pants off the marketing team and everntually convince the powers that be to invest in a responsive Desktop, Tablet and Smartphone solution for their website.

We felt that by showing off their design credentials from the first point of digital contact with an architecturally lead experience, they would have an edge from the start in a highly competitive market, at least in the digital environment.

NIB TRAVEL INSURANCE.

I developed a fun and engaging header concept based on old movie posters, for NIB's Travel Insurance arm as well as this general eDM template formula, which includes strong visual cues and strong calls to action. This header concept was presented along with other 'safe' options and whilst this one was contoversial within our studio walls, NIB's sense of adventure prevailed.

SPORTS SLURPEE.

The ultimate sports drink requires the ultimate 8-bit artwork. Referencing classic games such as Street Fighter 2 and Double Dragon, the ultimate Rock-Paper-Scissors challenge was created in the form of a Flash microsite.

Using Slurpee's substantial online popularity, the microsite was a huge success - gaining over 1 million plays in 4 weeks.

TOTAL OIL.

I designed the bike riding kit for French boutique oil company TOTAL after a friend who works there came calling. We did extensive reseach, and a strong call for something that would stand out from the crowd whilst incorporating some European cycling nostalgia became apparent.

The result is this bold and distinctive full kit that looks hot in real life. And besides, everyone knows that red goes faster.

The Mulka Project


THE MULKA PROJECT.

Whilst visiting family in Arnhem Land I was approached by the Yirrkala Arts and Cultural Centre to reinvent their existing website. The aim of which was to showcase the rich historyand culture of the area whilst acting as an eCommerce revenue stream for the centre, making the most of the impressive indigenous art output. The result was two websites, one for the historical content and one to act as a virtual gallery, housed at a central umbrella site.

From the project's conception, I initiated a practice of working closely with indigenous and non-indigenous users, this included users with only limited computer skills as well as experienced users right through to the completion of the project to create:

- an interface that appeals and functions successfully to this very broad user base, including indignous and non-indigenous users, art buyers, cultural leaders and tourists;

- Incorporating the visual appeal of the natural assets of the physical landscape as much as possible in the UI to act as a selling point for both the cultural content as well as the artworks;

- Randomising the Home Page content on each load to promote equal exposure for the artists and represent all the different media whilst avoiding prioritisation content;

I worked with the development team to create a custom CMS using HTML, PHP and JavaScript to house the content which included using Sound Cloud to house the audio, YouTube to house the video and Flickr to house the vast image library. Using these free existing infrastructures meant cost savings as well as tested stability for the client.

These were many challenges I faced during this project, some language based, some geographical. The language barriers were overcome by conducting UI and UX workshops with the local indigenous leaders to devise solutions, with the very helpful aid of translators. The geographical factors were overcome using technologies such as Skype and screen sharing to iron out any confusions . launch

ACTIVIA YOGURT.

Whilst contracted to George Patterson Y&R, I was asked to design the new Activia website for the Australian launch. I worked through the existing wireframes with the development team to refine and further progress the IA concept.

The website format was required to have various formats to allow for the blog style "conversations" with Activia's customers, as well as a Flash product carousel.

The result is a visually appealing, functional website, offering nutritionist tips, product information and customer integration through social mediums and live feedback, whilst adhering to the brand style guidelines . launch

PALOMA BLEU.

Quaint little Albert Park boutique Paloma Bleu needed a website to compiment their launch and act as a point of contact for thier customers, existing and new.

As with most small businesses there was a limited budget to encapsulate the chicness of the physical store and showcase their exciting local and international labels to thier manily young female client base.

I designed the UI in a templated blog format, which was driven by a Drupal CMS. The result is a very clean, efficient site that was easily achieved within budget . launch

MCM MEDIA .

I designed these full screen Flash microsites for MCM Media. Working closely with the MCM sales team I made the most of thier extensive UX research to create exciting, engaging and fun competitions.

These fast turn-around projects have strict budget constraints so design time and optimisation for Flash has to be very efficient. All MCM's microsites were developed in Flash AS3 by a third party
