360 Degrees is a project I give out to my sophomore students in the 'Design Technology' course at VCUQatar in Doha. In the one semester course I cover all the basics of using creative software (illustrator, photoshop, indesign, lightroom, after effects, a processing workshop, final cut pro, as well as file formats, printing, mac basics and different methods for creating in screen or print media). Embedded within learning technical aspects, we explore the concept of 'digital form creation' using systematic thinking, generative tools and mathematical parameters, with emphasis on 'digital craft'.

The circles are part of an introductory to Illustrator project. The students are shown several basics of working within the program and then we quickly dive into more complex possibilities to create form. The students are asked to generate at least 50 different iterations of a circle using only black and white 'graphic' vectors. The only major rule is that it needs to exhibit the concept of 'gestalt' and still maintain the 'syntax' or formal property of a circle. Each student narrows down the 50 sketches to their 10 best, refine them and demonstrate how they are created.

This poster was exhibited along with all the student sketches to showcase the work from the class as part of our new VCUQatar building opening event in the Fall of 2010. The circles on the poster were all generated by my sophomore students. I selected a range of explorations and designed the poster.</description>

I presented at 'Refresh Qatar'. Refresh Qatar is an open community of expert web designers, developers, e-marketers, content professionals and entrepreneurs, working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of the internet in Qatar.

The title of my talke was 'Reshaping the web: influences on front-end design'. The synopsis of the talk was:

"During the past two years web design has undergone significant transformations, perhaps more so than at any point in it's short history.
Front-end design is being influenced by array of current design trends, mobile devices and improvements to scripting languages. All of which have greatly impacted visual characteristics and expanded the possibilities of web design."

Bordering the Empty Quarter (found here) is my recent project in collaboration with Levi Hammett. Currently, the project manifests itself as a website, however we hope to expand the project into other mediums and include more contributors. The intent of the project is to collect visual and vernacular imagery within the contemporary culture of Qatar and organize the images to reveal patterns, commonalities, disparities and contextual relationships. </description>

Shown here are spreads from the 'Tasmeem Conference' publication. 

The publication was designed by my friend and university colleague Pornprapha Phatanateacha. Pornprapha, along with Muneera Spence, co-chaired an international design conference at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. 

I helped concept and co-create the original identity system along with Levi Hammett and Jordan Gushwa. I used the identity system as inspiration to design a series of diagrams for the publication. The diagrams needed to be simple, playful, and convey the essence of the conference. 

I created a few diagrams within the publication and contributed images and text throughout the publication. You can view the sketches for the diagrams here.</description>

Shown here are a series of sketches I created for the 'Tasmeem Conference' publication. The publication was designed by my friend and university colleague Pornprapha Phatanateacha. Pornprapha, along with Muneera Spence, co-chaired an international design conference at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. 

I helped concept and co-create the original identity system along with Levi Hammett and Jordan Gushwa. I used the identity system as inspiration to design a series of diagrams for the publication. The diagrams needed to be simple, playful, and convey the essence of the conference. 

I created several concepts and directions for the diagrams. Shown here are four variations of one of the concepts, that ended up being the final direction. You can view the diagrams in the publication here.</description>

'Assembling Words and Pictures from My Life in Doha' is the title of an exhibition I created for the VCUQatar faculty show. It is also the title for an accompanying essay that appeared in the 'Diode Poetry Journal'.

Below is the collection of images displayed in a one x three meter space in the exhibition.</description>

A series of illustrations based on my personal experiences as an American expat living in Doha, Qatar. The illustrations were inspired by the dichotomy that seems to exist between the stark black burqa's worn by the many woman in the gulf countries and the often times elaborate and colorful clothing underneath. The colors also reflect the outgoing and radiant inner personalities of many of the woman here that is often not portrayed outwardly to the general public. The color palettes, textures and other graphical elements come from my ongoing 'visual audit' of Qatar. 

The illustrations are part of an ongoing series that were first exhibited at the VCUQatar faculty show.
