  • Vie App My father had a severe stroke over 9 years ago, he has survived it but he is no longer the person I knew. It appears his stroke could have been easily avoided if only he had been taking blood pressure medication.

    VIE is a self initiated project and was born out of my response to this unfortunate event.

    We have the right to take possession of a complete copy of our individual lab test results, without any delay, at minimal or no cost; delivered in an organizedand easy to understand manner. If we track our own health, like the blood pressure and blood work results, we will greatly reduce a chance of having a heart attack or a stroke in the future.

    Current problem: Difficult to understand reports, stocks of paper, unable to keep track, inconvenience.

    Solution: VIE, iPhone app for patients. iPad app for doctors. Connecting, your doctor with the lab and with you. Delivered in an easy to understand, organized manner, offering a seamless experience for you and your loved ones.

  • Krasula // Pierogi Bar Krasula is a pop-up pierogi bar that brings modern Polish flavor to the bustling New York food scene. By elevating pierogi using farm-fresh ingredients, we bring gourmet to the streets.

    Eastern European soul food - the pierogi is a half-moon shaped dumpling, traditionally made by hand, filled with sweet or savory ingredients. At Krasula menu offerings are simple, made with fresh, natural ingredients, and an array of rejuvenated pierogi fillings, toppings, and whole grains. However you will always find, the traditional pierogi such as potato & cheese and cabbage on the menu. We cater to the traditional eater, as well as the vegetarian, the vegan and the gluten free conscious persons. We serve pierogi for everyone!

    Krasula is a self-initiated project, conceived out of my love for Pierogi and the need of elevating Polish culinary culture in New York. I have fully branded the bar, re-designed the recipes and sauces, stylized the food plates, designed the physical experience of the space and came up with a well thought out business model. I'm currently raising the funds to build the space, and purchase the equipment needed. To learn more or to sign up for our first pierogi party please visit the website: krasulapierogibar.com

  • P90X workout Infographic An infographic of 10-day P90X workout.

    This infographic demonstrates the process and the results of a 10-day P90X trial. However the primary goal of this study was to see whether or not Mike who hasn't worked out in 14 years was actually going to commit to it.

    Most of the data shows what he was doing instead of working out with his partner. He didn't know he was being tracked.

  • Bolshephobia Exhibition design hole nr. 12 as part of the spring show at School of Visual Arts in New York City, each hole in the show was based on a chosen phobia. I chose Bolshephobia.

    In Russia, the shadow of the Communist past hangs heavy over its populace, where Communist leaders imposed strict rules about income, religion, and politics. The early Bolsheviks objected to white cows, thinking the color would remind the peasants of the royalists. In 1919 the Central Committee ordered all white cows dyed red. Those who opposed the Bolshevik regime paid a heavy price. Executions, separations from friends and family, and prison sentences in rough barracks where food and water were scarce, were oftentimes the punishment. Stalin, a bloodthirsty dictator, is the primary trigger for this phobia.

  • Cardboard speakers design and packaging While working at Merkury Innovations I was asked to design a line of cardboard speakers for children. The goal was to design speakers which would fold flat, and the packing had to be able to hang. I designed 3 sets of speakers and wanted the packaging to reflect of what is inside. Inspired by the structure of the FedEx envelope, I created an envelope with a window which shows the speaker. The packaging pulls from the design elements of each speaker. The paper and all of the materials used were recycled.     2012 Package Design, Product Design, Branding
