iPad Facilities Tour
March 01, 2019

Unity-based application for iPad intended to serve as a supplement to facility tours but was ultimately shelved before release. It was designed to provide attendees with facility information through 360° images, videos, and fact sheets. For most of the project, I served as the sole developer and regularly met with the client and stakeholders to discuss content and interface/experience design. Our client provided static design files, and I used those assets and 3D models of buildings to create a hybrid 2D/3D application.

Harry Potter Wands
January 01, 2018

I created a collection of Harry Potter wands over the years (hand carved and lathed). Designs are not accurate to their movie counterparts, and the movie productions were typically not accurate to the book descriptions (mostly the length, I read that the book lengths did not look good on film).

  • Remus Lupin-inspired wand for the showing of "The Half-Blood Prince" (dowel, 2009).
  • Hand carved the Elder wand for my Voldemort costume for the Deathly Hallows showing (bassword, 2011).
  • Two versions of Draco Malfoy's wand (dowel, hawthorn, ~2017).
  • A custom design (poplar, ~2017).
  • Alastor Moody's wand (poplar, ~2017).
