  • Designing the Tangible Experience of Interactive Memories

    Rochester Institute of Technology

    The process for memory keeping in the digital age has become easier, immediate, and more efficient thanks to the advent of sophisticated pocket-sized toolsets that can capture everyday experiences.
    Consumer-level photo and video recording products are introduced regularly and boast more fidelity, faster speeds, and greater control than their predecessors. More often than not, these expanding feature sets do not properly serve all of their users' needs.

    The process for memory keeping in the digital age has become easier, immediate, and more efficient thanks to the advent of sophisticated pocket-sized toolsets that can capture everyday experiences.
    Consumer-level photo and video recording products are introduced regularly and boast more fidelity, faster speeds, and greater control than their predecessors. More often than not, these expanding feature sets do not properly serve all of their users' needs.
    While the technology exists to allow for a near-complete record of one's life to be made through the use of sensors and storage media, problems involve how best to meaningfully learn from and engage with a lifetime of collected content.
    With the intention of designing a system to streamline the storage and review process of digital memory keeping, I devised a conceptual framework of tangible objects and interactions to centralize memory media and provide a tangible experience for the review of life content.
    Focusing on the design of products for "lifelogging," the recording of everyday experience through digital sensory inputs, I researched human memory, memory making processes, and the Quantified Self movement.
    My resulting concept is a system of interactions that incorporate physical objects, digital interfaces, wireless communication, and cloud-based storage that is meant to be a tactile, precious, and centralized way to review and engage with one's memory.

  • USER INTERFACE FOR JUST-IN-TIME IMAGE PROCESSING

    Issued US 9654602

    Technology is disclosed for an image editing tool that generates a recipe for just-in-time processing of images (“the technology”). Various embodiments of the technology include an image processing system that provides image processing services to a client system that publishes content including an image to end users. The image processing system processes the image based on a recipe to generate a processed image. The image editing tool is integrated into an application, e.g., webpage or a web…

    Technology is disclosed for an image editing tool that generates a recipe for just-in-time processing of images (“the technology”). Various embodiments of the technology include an image processing system that provides image processing services to a client system that publishes content including an image to end users. The image processing system processes the image based on a recipe to generate a processed image. The image editing tool is integrated into an application, e.g., webpage or a web browser, that displays the content. A user, e.g., administrator of the client system, can use the image editing tool to edit the image on the webpage and generate the recipe including instructions regarding the edits. The recipe is transmitted to the image processing system which processes the image based on the recipe, and transmits the processed image to the client system for further transmission to the end users accessing the content.

Projects

  • Sandbox

    API Visual/Text Based Sandbox to help with support and documentation. I provided initial concept, UI design and front end styles.

    Sandbox provides a simple text–based user interface to experiment with the imgix URL API. Feed any imgix URL into Sandbox to be deconstructed and tweaked. Sandbox updates automatically, so you can share exactly what you’re looking at by copying the URL.

  • imgix.js

    imgix.js is a dependency-free Javascript library that allows you to easily use the imgix API to make images on your site or app responsive to device size and pixel density.

    imgix.js allows for intuitive use of imgix features like text formatting, color palette extraction, color adjustments, effects, and watermarking.

  • Sketch Cups

    I’ve drawn hundreds of “sketch cups” over the past two years in what started out as a procrastinatory work habit. Many of them have been sold online and in local coffee shops with proceeds going to benefit homeless children through Project Night Night.
