PORTFOLIO
Here are some of my projects.
elgobo allows people, wishing to auction personal memorabilia, to attach personal stories to them. The auctioneer stands on the sculpture to conduct the auction, and buyers bid in real time, either in person or remotely via the app. elgobo allows remote bidders to participate in the urgency and suspense of the physical auction.
fLight is an interactive system that allows people distant from their family to reinforce the feeling of being part of it, knowing that somewhere else somebody is living the same moment. The surprise that follows waiting for a contact gives a strong sense of accomplishment because this moment feels like a celebration.
DaTe is a mobile phone App which allows escorts to manage their work in a more simple, and discreet way. This application becomes a virtual place where escorts can hide their luxurious secret life and work in tranquillity and safety.
