Not too long ago, I created some icons for a presentation our group did for Khoi Vinh's Designing the Conversation class. You can download the AI files here.

Late last night, the rear of my toilet started to overflow. I lifted the porcelain cover to discover that the flotation device was not doing it's job of floating. Since the darn thing was drowning in New York tap, the toilet continued to pump water into the tank.

Frustrated with how crap doesn't work in my apartment and how long it usually takes for my super to answer his phone calls, I had to face off with the bathroom once again!

For my final project in Jason Santa Maria's Communicating Design class, I designed and prototyped a system for the MTA that informs people which train cars have standing room available. Who knows, maybe we'll see this in the upcoming subway stations running up and down NYC's east side in 2012.
