Ubalo - acquired by Twitter

May 2012

I worked with Ubalo, a scalable computing technology startup based on map reduce, to help them explain their story on their website, which was designed by Carbon 5. Ubalo was acquired by Twitter one year later, in May 2013.

Website Story

Foundry - acquired by Dropbox

April 2012

I worked with the Foundry Hiring team to articulate the value of their hiring software, and prioritize features to build out. I interviewed their top users at companies like Euclid and TellApart, and delivered a strategic design document along with wireframes of potential solutions.

Dropbox acquired Foundry Hiring in October 2013.

Value proposition

I created a visual to explain Foundry's core value: recruiting, triaging and hiring new candidates.

System flow chart

I created a site map with various features that the team should build toward.

Before

A screenshot of what the website looked like when I consulted with Foundry.

After

The landing page after the team finished building out the product. You can see that the product included many of the original features I specified in the original design document.

Robot Art

March 2011

A set of two art projects exploring the role robots and robotic augmentation will play in the future.

roboCuisine is packaged food meant to power robots after it has been eaten and excreted by a human; in the future, robots may run off of the waste from the humans they live with.

The Robot Whisperer is a system for new parents to implant in the brain of their baby at birth. The device augments left-brain, logical thinking and comes in a number of sizes to grow along with the child.

Both projects were done in collaboration with Anisha Jain, under guidance of Shona Kitchen. We presented our work at Leonardo in July 2011.
