examples of my work

A sizzle reel that I put together for NYC matchmaker Siggy Flicker.

True story: I once saw one of the guys from her TV show on the subway.

“You can order from our dotcom or follow us on twitter!” - overheard from toddler playing pretend lemonade stand in Fort Greene.

“What did you say? Who are you???” her mother asked in shock.

Young children adapting to technology is such a novelty these days. Everyone talks imtimidatedly about their niece, nephew or friends’ babies who can use computers better than the rest of us. For a time, I too was in awe of my 3-year-old nephew’s doubtless command of his iPod Touch. “Slide to unlock” seems second nature to babies who grow up around iPhones and iPads, and, as a new(ish) phenomenon, it may seem impressive, but then you acknowledge that today’s devices are far more intuitive to use than the shit that we grew up with.

I can’t help but toot my own horn now when I recall that when I was five years old, I navigated not with a user-friendly touch-screen interface, but command-line DOS on a black & white screen. No mouse. A mouse was a luxury that my family did not acquire for another six years down the road. 

In short, tech-savvy youths should have been far more daunting then than they are now.
