Nike Fuel Rally
This year Nike+ launched its most innovative digital products to date, adding Nike+ FuelBand, Nike+ Training and Nike+ Basketball to the original Nike+ Running.
Our brief was to get Japanese consumers to experience them all before they came to market.
To reach our audience, we took inspiration from a national obsession – gaming.
In central Tokyo, opposite Harajuku Station, we created a pop-up arcade for the everyday athlete, which was open for free throughout the 2012 Olympics.
One of the installations was a game of human ‘Pong’ on a purpose-built LED court. Infrared sensors capture your position. Nike+ FuelBand tracks your movement. Custom NikeFuel readers register the final score.
Thousands of players came to UGOKDISE during the two weeks it was open, playing for an average of 18 minutes on site and running around Harajuku with Nike+ for an average of 48 minutes.
The global competition helped open up a completely new, younger audience for Nike+, with a record 4.2 million new users joining the community in just two weeks.

Volkswagen up! Challenge
Take control of the new Volkswagen up! and race your way through three demanding urban environments. Take advantage of speed boosts and unlockable shortcuts to get the upper hand on your opponents – until they’re nothing but specks in your rear view mirror.
I worked on everything from interface design to level concepts helping to shape and define the game. The challenge was to take Volkswagen's up! design style and apply it to an interface in a creative but usable way.

Nike Barber Shop
We built on the "My Time Is Now” campaign with “Nike Barbershop”, an integrated advertising campaign featuring Italian footballer Mario Balotelli and a host of other superstars.
The campaign launched with a comical film of Mario Balotelli receiving a hair cut in a traditional Barbershop, accompanied by French player Mamadou Sakho and Argentine striker Javier Pastore.
We then created the Nike Barbershop App, which enabled football-obsessed teens to emulate their heroes’ hairdo by trying out famous footballers iconic styles and sharing them with friends. Choosing from The Neymar, The Balotelli and The Ramos among others... The best submissions were personally invited to visit one of three real world Nike Barbershops in Madrid, Milan and Paris, where their chosen style was cut for real. A pop up Nike Barbershop also featured in Warsaw during Europe’s major football tournament during the summer 2012.
Thousands of kids made their mark with a new Nike-inspired haircut and spread the word across social media sites Twitter and Facebook. Even Mario Balotelli himself got involved, trying the Patore and sharing it with his 2 million Facebook fans.

Man Hunt
This image was made for a pitch. The brief was to create a thriller inspired poster design to promote a treasure hunt competition. It was a great little project to get as I love old movie posters. I decided to do a bit of mashup of 50's Saul Bass inspired posters with a bit of grindhouse trash.
