Highlighted Work



	Urban Daddy - The Finder



	Description Perhaps you're looking for a great locale for a blind date, a chic resto-bar for a bite and a drink, or just a casual burger joint for a night out with friends. The Finder is Urban Daddy's tool that allows users to filter their outtings by mood. Select up to three moods and see what establishments match your criteria. The Finder utilizes a database-driven Flash engine to bring to life a Venn diagram usability concept across multiple urban destinations.

	Acura - Acura RDX Microsite



	Description One of my most enjoyable projects to date—the Acura RDX microsite experience revolves around the concept of a turbine engine. Users access a number of 360° environments with the Acura RDX taking centre stage. Experience the all-new Acura RDX.

	Watier Cosmetics - Are You Desirable?



	Description A video-based website promoting Lise Watier's new fragrance, Désriable. The project parodies the inner desires of 4 men who seek the affection of the user by reciting a love poem in her honor.		Credits Agency: Amen Creation Role: AD, Design, V.
