The philosophy is simple: client-focused projects creating audience-centered products. It’s your story, but we collaborate to tell that story, taking device and format into consideration, so the audience will not only experience it, but respond to it.

Here are some examples of our work together...

Boyntunes.com Website Redesign
Writer, singer, voiceover master Ken Boynton was looking to consolidate two existing websites and create an integrated approach to his manifold offerings. Electric Lexicon helped translate these into a single site that is both comprehensible and easily navigable for its users. As Ken says, “David was masterful at helping me find what was important, both to me and to the overall message we were trying to express. I’d work with him again in an instant (and I have).”

• Explore Ken’s site and listen to some of his music and voice characters

Surgical Simulator and Inspiring Youth Through Technological Creativity
As a founding partner in the Red Llama, Inc., I've helped to create a surgical simulator platform, SimPraxis^TM, to provide cognitive training to surgeons and other health care professionals. I have also participated in Red Llama's other endeavor: the development and teaching of a set of courses in technology for low-income youth.

“Prove It” Website Redesign
Prove It disaster recovery preparedness website. Designed to be a working tool for executives and IT managers, the site included individualized progress tracking and downloadable tools. We created the overall architecture and lead the design and development team at Hornall Anderson Design Works.

Flowserve Website Redesign
As part of the redesign of the Flowserve.com website, we conducted research and interviews and created a set of information architecture documents. The documents include:

• Site Map: converted GIF version
• Navigation Storyboard (selection of 9 screens from the original 95 created to describe the user’s navigation experience): converted GIF version formatted for full-screen display
• The new Flowserve site in a new window

“A Bit’s Life” 3-D Animation
Created for presentation by Intel Chairman Andy Grove at the Herb Allen Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley using DVD video format, we designed this animation to explain how the Internet works and the impact of Intel’s processors on its architecture. Although originally intended just for presentation at the conference, animation was so well received, it was used by Intel over and over again in numerous forums. The animation won a New York Festivals Gold Medal and was nominated for a Cindy Award.

• View screen shots
• Download and play a segment of the animation using QuickTime (9MB) in a new window

Bagpipe Entertainment Website
We created this website from whole cloth and a few scraps and continue to maintain it for its owner. Explore the live website and listen to the lovely music from Iona Abbey.
