	Heartfelt
Date: 2019
Artist: Ekene Ijeoma
Fabrication: DCM Fabrication Inc.

Programming: Patten Studio

Location: Kennedy Center, Washington DC

	For this permanent public artwork for the Kennedy Center, I was in charge of design development, the production of all 3D models and drawings, and managing the physical prototyping and fabrication process. The artist’s vision involved a network of seamless polished stainless steel veritcals, which would illuminate when people used their bodies to complete the circuits. We were responsible for designing and building a weatherproof outdoor system that could support this vision, and providing a clear and concise install guide for the venue.

The artwork needed space for hardware below the ‘ground’ level, and also needed all electrical components to be isolated. I was responsible for laying out a framework to support the poles and the hardware specs, sourcing all materials, designing the physical lighting component, and designing custom milled aluminum parts that could accommodate the lighting and wiring of the piece without compromising the hand-to-hand circuit.

	Haystack
Date: 2015
Company: Dendrite Corp.

	










Haystack, a now-defunct aggregated search engine for licensable, professional photography, required a sleek and easy-to-navigate user interface to set it apart from other stock image sources. From wire frame to final mock ups, I worked to refine the functions down to the bare essentials, and build clear, minimal menus. I also handled the branding tone and content, writing site copy &#38;amp; producing illustrations.






&#60;img width="1000" height="590" width_o="1000" height_o="590" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f5df23600c27ad3bbec45b0c22f54e161972520ab3f9ac92285d05ba88cf261/computer.png" data-mid="131196499" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f5df23600c27ad3bbec45b0c22f54e161972520ab3f9ac92285d05ba88cf261/computer.png" /&#62;
The Haystack landing page was an opportunity to highlight the simplicity of our format, and also showcase the work of our affiliated photographers.
&#60;img width="3300" height="1975" width_o="3300" height_o="1975" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/659387e806a4c26674551f84af2826ddac5099ee85cd1b561c4db6a2c9b2644b/haystack22.png" data-mid="131196435" border="0" data-scale="85" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/659387e806a4c26674551f84af2826ddac5099ee85cd1b561c4db6a2c9b2644b/haystack22.png" /&#62;
Our search results were quick and highly customizable - here, a user can view the various stock image sources shown in results, and filter by source. Images could also be sorted by license type, size ratio, resolution, and date added.
&#60;img width="3228" height="647" width_o="3228" height_o="647" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/293abd3863a2cab51f21bef79ec8412cb35860d5e6ef95d063c8973182dcd218/lightboxes.png" data-mid="131196436" border="0" data-scale="84" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/293abd3863a2cab51f21bef79ec8412cb35860d5e6ef95d063c8973182dcd218/lightboxes.png" /&#62;
Haystack was unique in that it offered the ability to produce a cross-source lightbox, which could be shared. This made it easier for photo editors to collaborate, replacing the typical practice of downloading low-resolution test images and producing file folders. I developed this feature, and was responsible for the UI/UX.
&#60;img width="3300" height="1582" width_o="3300" height_o="1582" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df8468c0ced29ed51e7ce9660975b506d3192df452a55f7e716794ffeffdce71/image-enlarge.png" data-mid="131196656" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df8468c0ced29ed51e7ce9660975b506d3192df452a55f7e716794ffeffdce71/image-enlarge.png" /&#62;
When users enlarged an image, they could view all relevant metadata and license it directly from the provider. Down the line, we planned to incorporate a purchasing environment of our own.
&#60;img width="2856" height="1878" width_o="2856" height_o="1878" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a5cac3ba3c9bd674af5e334a9f5b5ba2d43ec318dc83fd92019da71ac30a9b7/haystack-phones.png" data-mid="131196439" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a5cac3ba3c9bd674af5e334a9f5b5ba2d43ec318dc83fd92019da71ac30a9b7/haystack-phones.png" /&#62;
I was also responsible for designing the mobile application, which was similarly simple and easy-to-use.&#38;nbsp;

	Bitcoin BalletDate: Winter 2021Instructor: Adi AzulayTools: Arduino, Python

	
This project, completed as a final project for HCDE 539: Physical Computing, is a prototype for a larger, in-progress art piece, which aims to present the ebb and flow of financial data as a choreographed dance performed by music-box ballerinas.


	&#60;img width="725" height="1184" width_o="725" height_o="1184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbc25989d59c5c6e4adf893c1f53bd6157c42b6ecfda91a33f811297d75c537a/trimmed-bgspintsp.gif" data-mid="131174071" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/725/i/cbc25989d59c5c6e4adf893c1f53bd6157c42b6ecfda91a33f811297d75c537a/trimmed-bgspintsp.gif" /&#62;

	For my physical computing final, I decided to prototype a concept that involved representing fluctuating financial data with an array of spinning music-box dancers.
Using the yfinance API for live financial data, I used Python and Arduino to program this oven-bake clay ballerina’s servo motor to spin faster or slower depending on the rate of change between the current and previous price of Bitcoin. Her stage lighting and spin direction would also shift, depending on if prices were rising or falling.
&#60;img width="953" height="933" width_o="953" height_o="933" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca7aeff9892905bdf7d34ee539d44cb128b6fa765c4f60bef1abd5b5bb5c659d/Ballet-Sketch2.png" data-mid="131175020" border="0" data-scale="79" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/953/i/ca7aeff9892905bdf7d34ee539d44cb128b6fa765c4f60bef1abd5b5bb5c659d/Ballet-Sketch2.png" /&#62;The above shows a sketch of my overall concept, to show the stock prices of the top 5 US employers. This Bitcoin dancer served as proof of concept for this larger piece.

	&#60;img width="640" height="560" width_o="640" height_o="560" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/561d87cf041db777c0b1d1292c3e954011bb82e30d7afac876c91d8130983a9c/trimmedscreen1.gif" data-mid="131175709" border="0" data-scale="74" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/561d87cf041db777c0b1d1292c3e954011bb82e30d7afac876c91d8130983a9c/trimmedscreen1.gif" /&#62;
	
I programmed an OLED screen to monitor the system, which let me know how price and spin rate were changing.


	

Initially, my goal was to build a dancing model of a segment of the stock market - but as I began to build it, I found that both the small degrees of shifts in price and the limitations of market hours made it difficult to test my system.&#38;nbsp; BitCoin’s 24-hour volatility made it a great candidate for my first prototype, as it was easy to tell when things were and werent working.I also began my system without using an OLED screen, and I was often uncertain if the dancer was responding to the data I intended. Adding the screen to my board gave me a way to get live feedback from the system, which I couldn’t do when using the serial monitor to link my Arduino and Python code.

For my initial setup, I positioned the ballerina inside a carboard box ‘stage’ with the lighting installed overhead. Her performance would begin whenever a user opened the stage door, which would trigger a magnetic door sensor and turn on the motor, LED, and OLED screen.

	Evergreen PT
Date: Winter 2021
Instructor: Sarah Coppola
Tools: Figma, Photoshop

Team: Matt Latzke, Chris Baldour, 
Jonathan Miller
	This application was designed as part of HCDE 518 - User-Centered Design. In this ten-week course, my team and I chose a project area,&#38;nbsp;developed a design question,  conducted user research, defined a scope and user personas, and developed and delivered a working prototype of an application, built in Figma. I played in a key role in conducting research, designing the UX, and design documentation.
 

	&#38;nbsp; DESIGN QUESTION &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; 

How might we develop a more robust, inclusive, patient-centered, in-person/remote hybrid approach to physical therapy?


&#38;nbsp; RESEARCH&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;  &#38;nbsp;


	Diary Studies
Our diary study was a three-day study with 3 individuals currently receiving PT treatment, one remotely and two in-person.

Over the course of the study, we gave participants a daily questionnaire about the nature of their at-home physical therapist treatment - the duration of their exercises; difficulty, format and setting of their exercises; their confidence doing the exercises; and what degree of communication they felt they needed from their PT throughout.

	


	User InterviewsWe interviewed 6 participants across varying age groups, technological skill levels, and injury type.

The participants that we interviewed were clearly split between two types of PT participants - those recovering from surgery, and those treating a specific ailment. We asked them a series of questions about their injury, relationship with PT, duration and difficulty of treatment, responses to both at-home and in-person care, and overall feelings about the PT process.


	
	Online QuestionnairesWe surveyed 18 participants who had experience as physical therapy patients within the past three years.
The participants varied in age, gender, and occupation, with the majority falling in the 25-40 years age group. About half of the participants were engaged in physical therapy prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the other half were in therapy during the last two years. Our questions focused on a patient’s PT experience and success in at-home treatment.

&#38;nbsp; RESEARCH FINDINGS&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; 
	Many patients tended to not follow through with their routine.A third of patients reported completing half or less than their prescribed exercises, many indicating that following through on at-home exercises was moderately difficult.‍
The experience varied depending on the type of injury patients were rehabbing.Patients rehabbing larger injuries tended to do their exercise routine sequentially and in one location. These individuals had a number of phases to work through to return to some quality of life, but the understanding of these phases varied between interview patients. Patients rehabbing smaller injuries tended to do their exercises at various times throughout the day, in different locations.‍
Patients didn't know how to advocate for themselves.
Some patients didn’t know the difference between good pain vs bad pain and didn't know how to ask the right questions to their therapist.
Patients were unsure of their overall progress.Patients reported uncertainty about whether they were completing the exercises correctly, felt like they had insufficient time to complete the exercises, and there was a lack of perceived meaningful progress. Many patients were left skeptical of physical therapy in general and didn't feel like it was doing anything.‍Understanding the reasoning behind exercises and how to do them could be a problem.Almost all of the patients interviewed were given printouts to communicate which exercises they were to do. Some patients had no problem with these printouts, and others had trouble interpreting them. Many patients didn't have a clear understanding of how to do their exercises, or what they were supposed to be targeting.&#38;nbsp; PERSONAS&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; We used our research findings to develop several user personas to help us guide our application development.

We relied heavily on Miro whiteboards for this phase of the project, collaboratively laying out our thoughts and discussing as a team how we might approach these insights.

Honing in on what we wanted to accomplish and working through the pros and cons of each aspect as a team, we laid out a roadmap for the features in our application.

The team produced sketches and wireframes to review within our group, as well as with our peers, our instructors, and potential users. Some of my sketches are included below:

Our team started to think of the application as a series of actions a user needed to take - to contact their therapist, view and complete their exercises, and see their general progress in treatment and status. We began to work through some of these processes as flow charts to structure the development of our prototype.

Finally, our team was ready to build out our prototype! Working together in Figma, we iterated our screens and interactions and watched our ideas come to life. Throughout the prototyping phase, we gathered feedback from peers and users and refined our user experience and visual language.
Still images from the prototype can be flipped through below. We tried to keep the color palate limited, keep text to a minimum, and make it easy for users to get more information.&#38;nbsp;

	Heliconia Loop
Date: Summer 2018
Artist: Mark Chai
Engineers: Silman

Tools: Rhino, SketchUp, AutoCAD

Role: Designer &#38;amp; Project Manager


	I served as designer and project manager for the fabrication and installation of this piece, created by artist Mark Chai for the New York Botanical Garden’s Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of Hawai’i show. Our team was responsible for translating the artist’s 2’ balsa wood mockup into this mechanically-attached 18’ stainless steel artwork. The piece had a very short assembly window, and needed to be entirely mechanically fastened for potential reuse and ease of shipping.



&#60;img width="1071" height="696" width_o="1071" height_o="696" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bb8ec056128510c2086dc1767dd8f9f7bd0ec0d1cf72265d1ecae55d566f3fd/heliconia.jpg" data-mid="130350381" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bb8ec056128510c2086dc1767dd8f9f7bd0ec0d1cf72265d1ecae55d566f3fd/heliconia.jpg" /&#62;
The 36 steel ‘blades’ that make up the spiral were all jetcut to my specifications, welded in a cutom jig, and mounted to points on jetcut plates to set them at identical angles. I was responsible for prepping all models, cut files, and installation documents, as well as devising the strategy for the shipping, assembly, and installation of the piece.
&#60;img width="3039" height="1313" width_o="3039" height_o="1313" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6bba03688eaa16ea07d2bd3103447091436d76e10ae8a49ae05f61791b86daa4/heliconia3.jpg" data-mid="130353405" border="0" alt="This image shows the mounting strategy for the plates that " data-caption="This image shows the mounting strategy for the plates that " src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6bba03688eaa16ea07d2bd3103447091436d76e10ae8a49ae05f61791b86daa4/heliconia3.jpg" /&#62;The image above shows the strategy I developed for mounting the ‘blades’ to the three rolled steel tubes on-site, as the piece needed to be portable and entirely mechanically fastened. The tubes were welded into a truss using a jig for placement, and each truss plate was jetcut with holes to correspond to studs welded to the underside of each stainless blade.&#38;nbsp;


	&#60;img width="1498" height="911" width_o="1498" height_o="911" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9582cc030a3e0ef697999edae6a9ea97a8b6c75223784ba23d4cf89c780a5dac/heliconia2.jpg" data-mid="130353403" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9582cc030a3e0ef697999edae6a9ea97a8b6c75223784ba23d4cf89c780a5dac/heliconia2.jpg" /&#62;

Jetcut 1/2” steel plates were used to mount the sculpture to its base. The base structure was engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds.
	&#60;img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/86c1e645e6aa8ca3d42537bbbdc304119af32e1984862f9414b57ec6f801bf9f/IMG_20180329_160323477_HDR.jpg" data-mid="130350229" border="0" data-scale="81" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/86c1e645e6aa8ca3d42537bbbdc304119af32e1984862f9414b57ec6f801bf9f/IMG_20180329_160323477_HDR.jpg" /&#62;
The&#38;nbsp; ‘blades’ were welded in a custom jig.

The piece was designed to sit in a fountain, and the base was composed of steel I-beams, which were weighted with cast concrete inserts on-site to give the piece the support required.

	Roberto Burle Marx Exhibit Fountain
Date: Summer 2019
Client: New York Botanical Garden

Designer: Raymond Jungles
Engineer: Silman
Fabrication: DCM Fabrication Inc.
	










This forty-foot long faux-concrete wall with an integrated spillway was developed, built and installed by DCM Fabrication for the New York Botanical Garden’s exhibit celebrating the career of landscape visionary Roberto Burle Marx. The piece is based on one of Marx’s unbuilt designs and was part of a show designed by Raymond Jungles. I was project manager for this piece, and was responsible for developing the design, producing all relevant drawings + models, and coordinating fabrication and installation.






&#60;img width="1071" height="696" width_o="1071" height_o="696" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f4fad73d8663555843c5da6fd9a783a6d00265cf3718efc121bcda8c08cb6bc/burle-marx-wall.jpg" data-mid="130350466" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f4fad73d8663555843c5da6fd9a783a6d00265cf3718efc121bcda8c08cb6bc/burle-marx-wall.jpg" /&#62;
The faux-concrete piece sat behind a pond, and had a spillway and pump system. 
Though the piece was designed to look like concrete, it needed to be lightweight, quick to setup, and quick to dismantle.&#38;nbsp;
&#60;img width="982" height="500" width_o="982" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf6df5e265c090d5d4ad0e33ab1892dead652d0c4b3759261717ae12e9fbbb5f/wall-back.png" data-mid="131090109" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/982/i/cf6df5e265c090d5d4ad0e33ab1892dead652d0c4b3759261717ae12e9fbbb5f/wall-back.png" /&#62;
I devised a support system that used a combination of welded steel support frames, Kindorf electrical channel, and plastic traffic barriers to support the piece from behind. Electrical channel gave us the mounting flexibility we needed to get a quick build and install off the ground.&#38;nbsp;
The wall needed roughly 25,000 pounds of support to meet public wind safety requirements, but due to our limited time on-site and limited access to equipment, we needed a ballast solution that we could set up on our own. Using the botanical garden’s existing barriers was a cost-effective and feasible solution that gave us the weight we needed.

&#60;img width="1922" height="2067" width_o="1922" height_o="2067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d396b0dccad934cdc4610c50fa0333df96fa84a56bab39a37caf9318eb13bc76/wall-1.png" data-mid="130350497" border="0" data-scale="65" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d396b0dccad934cdc4610c50fa0333df96fa84a56bab39a37caf9318eb13bc76/wall-1.png" /&#62;
In section view, the steel supports and spillyway can be seen.&#60;img width="3341" height="1412" width_o="3341" height_o="1412" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c85dc2a6c6a7deaa19426c02baf72f8ebeb75b310d44bb57c2dad47b3bbbde82/wallcolors.png" data-mid="131089410" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c85dc2a6c6a7deaa19426c02baf72f8ebeb75b310d44bb57c2dad47b3bbbde82/wallcolors.png" /&#62;
Due to limited fabrication time, it was important to keep all CNC’d parts well organized and clearly labeled. We were able to set up the piece in parts within the shop prior to testing, but we did not have space to fully assemble the piece until we were on-site.

	Cours Sèvres Competition
Date: 2015
Team:&#38;nbsp;










Thomas Fargetas, Benoit de Guisa, and Gauthier Blanc




	These renders and diagram were produced for the Cours Sèvres 2015 international competition. I collaborated on the design of this structure, a museum and monument to the Armenian genocide, with a team of three other young architects who were living in Armenia at the time of the competition. I was responsible for producing all programmatic diagrams and presentation renders.

The museum was set to be housed in a historic structure, and teams were tasked with designing the interior architecture of the historic building as well as an accompanying exhibit space and memorial. We chose to place the bulk of the accompanying structure underground, to accentuate our monument's verticality and also provide a suitably solemn ambiance. I worked with the team on the design, and produced the following drawings for our final presentation:

The central atrium is designed as an indoor extension of the accompanying public memorial; visitors can meet there or reflect in an airy, historic space before continuing through the underground exhibit.
