WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS TWO YEARS OLD, SHE LEARNED HOW TO TALK LIKE A ROBOT. I WANTED TO DOCUMENT IT, AND SO I MADE THIS LITTLE VIDEO-GAME. AS A BONUS, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP HER LEARN HER ALPHABET.

FOR MY MASTER’S THESIS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING, I MADE THIS VIDEO-GAME TO TEACH ENGINEERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HOW TO MANAGE RESERVOIR SEDIMENTATION. THE GAME WAS PRESENTED TO UNESCO’S INTERNATIONAL SEDIMENT INITIATIVE IN KHARTOUM SUDAN.

THIS IS A LITTLE ANIMATION THAT I STARTED WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS LEARNING HOW TO CRAWL (THIS GORILLAZ SONG WAS ACTUALLY NEW WHEN I STARTED). I FINISHED IT IN 2007 AFTER MOVING TO SEATTLE, WHERE OUR SON WAS BORN.

I MADE THIS ANIMATION FOR A CONTEST HELD BY A SEATTLE TELEVISION STATION. THE COMPETITION INVOLVED CREATING A SUPERHERO FOR THE PUGET SOUND AREA. SINCE COFFEE IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF SEATTLE’S CULTURE, THIS WAS MY IDEA. I TOOK FIRST PLACE AND WON A BUNCH OF SOFTWARE AND A MINI-SCHOLARSHIP TO THE ART INSTITUTE OF SEATTLE.
