Brooklyn Playgrounds

MEDIUM:

Webflow, photography, writing

DESCRIPTION:

As a parent of a toddler, I visit a lot of playgrounds. They aren't all built equally. We wanted a resource to help us find better playgrounds and non existed. So we built it.

I've worked alongside my wife on this project and we both contribute reviews. We also solicit feedback from our three-year-old. The most important thing was creating a method to find specific features at a playground. For a long time the only thing our infant did was swing in the toddler swing. Now he hates swings. If want to find a playground with a sandbox, there was no good way of doing it. That's why we created Brooklyn Playgrounds.

Sound Cloud, 2021

MEDIUM:

Animated Gif with MP3 Sound, HTML

DESCRIPTION:

Playing on the "check out my SoundCloud" meme, the Sound Cloud is a literal cloud with the repetitive phrase "sound" playing in the background. While most SoundCloud's serve as a commercial product to genreate profits or at the very least to inform, the Sound Cloud does literally nothing but exist

Toilets of New York

MEDIUM:

Photography, Tumblr

DESCRIPTION:

Toilets of New York began in a bathroom. I came to notice that often, bar and restaurant bathrooms were heavily decorated, aesthetically pleasing experiences. Some person had spent hours choosing the objects, wallpapers, and style. I took photos.

I began amassing photos of bathrooms over the course of several weeks and eventually launched a tumblr to catalogue the images. I began to notice patterns emerging and bathrooms that fell into categorical experiences: graffiti covered bathrooms; highly curated bathrooms filled with object d'art; institutional bathrooms striving for ascetic cleanliness.

East Williamsburg Seccession, 2012

MEDIUM:

White House Petitions

DESCRIPTION:

Following the 2012 Presidential election, people from across the United States flooded the White House's online petition system with requests to allow their states to secede from the Union. To satirize these petitions, I filed a petition not seeking to secede from the United States, but simply asking the President to support East Williamsburg's secession from Williamsburg, as two neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

The petition, written in a patronizing tone mimicking the existing state petitions, also touched on key words to attract attention in New York City: hipsters, real estate, Williamsburg. Gothamist reported on the petition the same day it was launched.
