Lynching in America.org
Oct 2017 - Feb 2018
EJI - Equal Justice Initiative
The Equal Justice Initiative believes we need to change the narrative about race in America in order to advance our collective goal of equal justice for all. As part of this work, we has created an interactive experience inspired by the original report, "Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror", the most comprehensive work (extensively researched the period between the Civil War and World War II, when over 4,000 African Americans were lynched in this country) done on lynching to date. Many racial terror lynchings, however, went unreported and their victims remain unknown. This project tells the story of racial terror in America and explores how its legacy continues to shape our nation today.
By creating a digital experience for a wide audience, EJI hopes to spark an honest conversation about our history of racial injustice that begins a process of truth and reconciliation.

Topple Trump Game (Web Browser)
Jun 2020 - Oct 2020
Ghetto Geek LLC
Topple Trump is a web browser-based trivia game (all ages) designed and developed using the unreal game engine in javascript (ES6). This was chosen "Site of the Day" by Awwwards for its design and development globally by peers. We're living in dangerous times.
With the US presidential election looming, the orange-skinned, crazily-coiffured billionaire Donald Trump is drawing ever closer to the White House. Can you stop him? It is meant to be a stress reliever and a hilarious way to vent no matter what your political affiliation is. This was the 1st game that was ever developed by myself and the team.
