The client came to me to concept, design and build several interactive 'attractor' apps for their latest line of very large multi-touch TVs. These TVs are located in hotel lobbies, trade shows, clubs etc. They play one of the attractor apps in demo mode until a passer-by's interest is piqued and they investigate and play with attractor.

Each interactive had to interesting enough in demo mode but also highly 'touchable' and playful when a user (or multiple users) came to play. The high-end TVs have an nice Android system on-board to run these interactives.

I love the challenge of visualising massive data sets in an organic and user friendly way. Whether it be a small graphic to show loads of weather information in a single glance or creating dynamic environments that evolve as you navigate a massive database to find that useful set of data out of the 70,000+ items.

The RNLI needed their e-card system completely redoing so it could handle animated covers, inside cover images or text and a few other little dynamic tweaks. It was a short turnaround and worked perfectly first time. Happy client and nice to have another great charity on the portfolio.

Dulux needed to bring the content, essence and success of their new brand exhibition in Athens to all employees and not just the ones lucky enough to be there in person. I was hired once again by the good people at DesignBridge London to produce the downloadable desktop application (runnable on both Macs & PCs) that easily showed all the in-depth content needed to deliver the brand concepts.

The project's UI was based around a 3D generated, room-by-room fly through. The viewer would navigate rooms either sequentially or via the jump navigation. Once you are in the 'room' then all the interactive points of interest animate on ready to take you to their content. Videos, poster images and pdfs are all viewable in the app or a print resolution version is ready to download.

Whenever I get a spare moment I try and make a small program that helps explore an area of computational design. This is design (or art) that is created through the use of interactive/iterated algorithms. These vary from experimental interfaces to 10 minute toys. ...mostly just used to generate nice posters ;)

I like being a freelance designer and developer as I get to work with lots of nice people, once again with the smart people at Tangent90 I built a local installation that played out over a few plasma screens in the entrance of Selfridges London. The installation took pictures of everyone coming through the door, which then where cropped to a head and shoulders image, which then found themselves 'dropping' into my mosaic of other customer's faces. The mosaic tiles are then colour tinted and make up a larger image of Mr I.am.

Depending which version is running at the time, we either play a promo video every few minutes or (my personal favourite) explode the mosaic's tiles and spin them around in 3D before putting them back in their correct places. For no reason beyond eye candy but, for once, that is what you need to attract the passers-by attention.

Working with the agency Tangent90, I produced an application that ran on 3 large touch sensitive plasma screens to be shown at trade shows. The project was based around an infinite 'big wheel' carousel of content tiles that then clicked through to a video and some more copy. Users could save details of which content they had viewed for later review.

Two facets to the same project here. First is a set of banners for Fujitsu's 'cloud' computing solution. The second I had to dust off the old Photoshop skills and produce a mock up of a live projection animation.

Airbus only wants the best and most suited graduates for their training programs and jobs. Working with Digital Mosaic's designs, I built this career path chooser which took the applicant on a journey of 5-6 questions and then suggested the best area of the Airbus group to apply to.

An XML based decision maker and some slick 3D tilting and panning makes this project stand out from the usual recruitment tool.

HSBC wanted a presentation tool to introduce the speakers of a major conference. The tool had to scale and work with 56" plasmas as well as touch screens and had to be updateable on the day by the people presenting it. So I built a presentation that scaled perfectly and was easily updateable via XML at any time, it was just what they needed.

Fimbling Fun! is a CD-ROM for fans of TV program aged 2-6. I acted as head programmer on this project, making all the technical demos in the early stages and most of the final polished product. This was a lot of fun to work on as the Fimbles are so cute :) I am very proud of being able to name all the Fimbles and their friends without having to think about it.

Designed for young children and released by BBC Worldwide in 2003. It's based on the popular BBC TV series "The Fimbles" and is aligned with the UK's National Curriculum Foundation Stage, making it a suitable learning tool for preschoolers.

The project features several interactive activities, including:

Footprints: Guide a Fimble through a maze collecting objects.
Suitcase: Get packing for your holiday with the Fimbles.
Feather: Tickle the Fimbles to make them laugh - miles too much fun.
Pebble: Draw and create pictures in the sand pit and add animated elements to bring them life.
Shimmy Shaker: Create tunes and get dancing. ...annoy your parents. We didn't use it in the end, but I created a 'dance animation system' that automatically animated between different dance moves in real-time.

Additionally, the CD-ROM includes printable greeting cards, stories, video clips, and music from the show, enhancing the interactive and educational experience for children​
