LevelSix PR Website and CMS
This website was done for a company in Indianapolis. The design was created by another design company then transferred to me as an Adobe Photoshop file. I was able to chop the file into parts that I needed, then moved it into an HTML/CSS layout that perfectly matched the Photoshop file. The CMS behind the website is a custom CMS built by the original company along with heavy modifications done by me.

IMA MMFX Kiosk
This project uses Actionscript 3.0, Flash CS3, and Photoshop CS3. The kiosk is installed at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in the Manufacturing Material Effects exhibit. I used Papervision 3D to create the 3D animation and objects in 3D space. Tweener was used for the animation. The navigation is touch-sensetive. Each group of Architects is added as easily as adding a single line into an array containing all of the projects.

Interactive Television Prototype
This project was done as part of an intensive course on interactive television at Ball State.

Balloon Shooter (Political Satire) 
I took a commonly used game and recreated it with my own little political twist. It was created as extra credit for a digital media class. The 'balloons' scroll vertically while the player tries to shoot them. Certain balloons are worth more points. When they are shot, they slow down the rest of the balloons. Missing speeds the balloons up. I also included a control panel for manipulating the game at runtime.
Directions
- Click the mouse anywhere on the sky to shoot.
Ball State University Google Map 
This project was done for a summer job working with a Ball State undergraduate fellowship grant. My job was to take a given customized google map and make it interactive and searchable with the Google Maps API.

- Drag the map around to get a better view.
Center for Media Design Micro site Mock-up
This is a mock-up for a micro site for the Center for Media Design at Ball State. The micro site was to be setup to showcase student produced video webisodes. The banners were meant to hold video segments representing each scene in the webisode. The banners are draggable and expand to show more video segments at any given time. As a little added effect I incorporated pendulum physics on the banners when the site loads.
Directions
- Click on the bottom of a banner and drag it up and down.
Lawson Flooring Microsite
This is a live micro-site built about 2 years ago using Flash 8 and Photoshop CS2. The website is very small and compact, designed this way to fit easily inside other websites. It can also be defined as a widget or gadget that also serves as a stand-alone website. I spent about a week building the front-end design and animation as well as the backend PHP contact form and content management system.
