How we designed & built an experience so that students may empower themselves. Kids today do not feel adequately prepared to make informed, confident decisions about what they want to do after high school. Research shows that more than 65 percent of students feel they would have benefited from more career exploration in middle or high school.
We designed and developed a digital experience that motivates students to learn about their education and career options by rewarding them for completing productive tasks.
12 months later millions of students are finishing tasks on EvolveMe and entering weekly drawings to win $5,000. This platform is growing daily with users and partners. EvolveMe

There’s never been a more rewarding yet more complicated time for teenagers to learn more about the things they care about. Whatever their passions, information and information overload is just a keyboard away. Countless opinions mixed in with endless facts make it hard to sort things out, much less know how to contribute in a meaningful way. So how can today’s kids learn to affect change?
Enter Next Voice. Next Voice is a new kind of digital platform where teens can see what other kids across the nation are saying about the issues that matter most to them and offer the chance to join and take action. Whether they’re searching for unbiased and credible information, want to learn to speak powerfully about the causes they care about, find allies with decision-making power, or start a community of their own, with NextVoice, teen voices get the power they deserve.

Voteforchange.com was the official Obama for America voter registration initiative aimed at young, first-time voters. Instead of treating voting like a civic duty, we addressed it as a worthwhile place to address one’s personal interests. We asked hundreds of young people why they planned to vote, regardless of their political ideology. We then commissioned dozens of artists to create pieces based on those reasons that would form the basis of the campaign.

I have been working in Advertising for awhile, and worked with some brilliant, nice and truly inspiring people, but we've also worked with some truly awful wankers. Our friends have also. We created this site and poster series as a fun way to call-out some of the archetypes everyone in our industry talks crap about, but usually only behind people's backs. Though we know it can be construed as mean-spirited, we believe in the honor system & know that peeps will use this site responsibly. (err...we hope:) Site

Recco is a mobile app & site designed to help you discover new places to eat, drink and shop from the people you trust most - friends.

Recco's the hub where you and your peeps can organize and share all this valuable info with one another.
