@ Xanadu, Brooklyn
Design lead for the 26’ box truck portion of Walmart’s Megan Thee Stallion “Hot Girl Summer” launch, conceptualizing a mobile LED billboard experience with a rear underwater photo moment connected to the skate rink interior environment.

Fabrication by Object
@ Zedd in the Park, Los Angeles
Design lead of Google Play Playground, the headline sponsor experience at Zedd in the Park festival. Designed a two-story truss environment embodying “More Play = More Rewards,” where height became a metaphor for achievement. Lower level featured mini games (putt-putt, swings), while the upper level offered a photo moment, dance floor, arcade, lookout tower, and a giant slide into a ball pit. Delivered full design concept, visualization, and fabrication-ready plans.
Fabrication by Object Design + Construction
@ Cannes Lions
Design lead from concept through install for Reddit HQ at Cannes Lions, the capstone activation of the “All Roads Lead Through Reddit” campaign spanning CES, SXSW, and Cannes. Designed a two-level B2B hub with multi-day programming: ground floor café, meeting rooms, and panel spaces for industry conversations, with an upper level guest experience environment. Directed design language, spatial planning, and fabrication coordination to deliver Reddit’s largest festival presence to date.
Fabrication by Expirim
@ Revolt World Festival, Atlanta
Design lead for the 2023 Walmart Maker’s Studio activation at Revolt World, part of a year-long campaign. Ensured the concept was fully connected and understood at this stop, shaping an interior environment where creative professionals could craft personal logos, receive headshots, and generate branded merch. Integrated experiences also highlighted and supported Black-owned businesses and artists, aligning Walmart’s storytelling with community impact.
Fabrication by Bednark
@ Comic-Con, San Diego
Design lead for NBC’s Quantum Leap HQ at San Diego Comic-Con. Delivered a playful multi-room experience that allowed fans to time-travel into three NBC/Peacock franchises - Chucky, The Voice, and Law & Order. Designed themed mini-challenges tied to each show, creating an interactive quest to “save the universe” that blended fandom, interactivity, and storytelling into one activation.
