Creative Direction, Interaction Design, & Web Development

“c75525” is a blog created as an experiment in navigable, spatially plotted digital content. The site map, or page structure, is reflected in a dynamic diagram of a tube.

Every post on the blog occupies an object displayed on one of its many concentric rings.

Organic exploration of the blog’s contents is encouraged by dropping the user into a random post and giving them directional controls to browse further.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation

Communications, Brand Systems, & Digital Experiences

Context

Alcor Life Extension Foundation is a nonprofit cryonics organization founded in 1972.

Working across communications, design, and digital development, my role was to translate Alcor’s research, people, events, and history into clearer, more accessible experiences for both members and the public.

Approach

Because Alcor had decades of history and a wide range of existing materials, one of my first priorities was establishing a more cohesive visual system. I organized and centralized brand assets, developed guidelines for their use, and created a stronger foundation for future communications work.

I developed content pillars and calendars, designed social posts, and produced photography and infographics centered around the in‑house R&D, community outreach, archival material, organizational history, and member stories.

As an extension of this work, I designed and developed a multimedia tour system for the facility.

The project includes a custom media‑player application and a remote web interface to control content across an array of TVs, as well as installation, troubleshooting, and ongoing refinement of the system.
