Aside for working on a newsletter in highschool and fiddling around with Photoshop – my interests in the professional aspects of design started by working with in my family’s company AAC Reality. Here as a young lad, I spent time organizing how properties wwere presented and also designed renderings for potential retail tenants.
PTALA
Later on, I joined my fathers marketing company, where we focused on bringing experiental advertisements and marketing materials to iconic Real-Estate properties. I spent a lot of time generating presentations indicating our space, but also had the opporunity to work on experimental initiatives.
One of these was the Union Station AR Project that I developed for an event that was hosted for the Secretary of Transportation. In order to create the experience, I worked with Oslo-based Arilyn, in order to leverage their marker based AR. And through their system- we worked in house with a group of motion graphic designers to develop experiences triggered in various areas of the station.
Oscar and JR
During highschool I also had two great internships. The first was at Oscar Health Insurance, a forward thinking health care company, and I was there to help distribute an out-of-home ad budget. This was a great experience and it was incredible to get the chance to work with extraordinary individuals.

I also had the chance to work with French artist JR. The internship turned into me pitching and designing an AR App, for the Inside Out Project, enabling it to be digitally scalled across billboards in NYC.
