Designer and Research Assistant

MDCN (Mobile Digital Commons Network): a 2 year multi-disciplinary research project headed by professor Michael Longford out of Concordia University. I was in charge of 3D visualizations and product designs for multiple aspects of the project from early days augmented reality to physical housing for environmental data collectors that could be installed around the city and provide us with information on ambient noise, weather patterns and foot traffic. This information could then be used to generate off site, data driven art.
