Freelance experiential motion designer. Projection mapping.
Franklin's Spark: projection mapping at The Franklin Institute
For Ben Franklin's 320th birthday, I was the experiential motion designer on an immersive, projection-mapped installation inside the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial, with Crafted Action.
The canvas was a 180-degree dome with deep coffers, ledges, windows, and pillars. I handled concepting, narration and audio direction, prototyping, and the final animation. We couldn't test at full scale early, so we rebuilt the space in TouchDesigner and After Effects to preview it virtually.
Full case study: motionbynick.com/work/franklinsspark moved into the woods, no regrets I made the worlds dumbest After Effects plugin using Rive.

it’s like Tomagatchi, but inside of Adobe tools (a Rive Trojan horse).
hatch an egg and meet your unique shifter - with its own name and look. There are millions of possible combinations.
These pets keep you company and level up while you work. As you work, you can buy upgrades like “Unlimited PTO”. Each day you unlock a loot box with new cosmetics.
Using nearly every corner of Rive, I created a complex video game system involving currency, upgrades, skill trees, and cosmetics.
