ABOUT ME
Currently: Job hunting and doing freelance design work for Theatrely!
Hi I’m Zach! I’m a product designer and web developer with a background in the media and entertainment space. I’m currently the brand designer and developer for No Pool Productions, a theatrical production startup, where I designed the brand identity and website. Previously, I worked as a Product Designer at Dow Jones and also spent eight months as a Product Manager at Boston Globe Media. I graduated from Northeastern University with a Masters in Experience Design after completing my bachelors degree in three years.
In my free time, I like to discover new music, watch baseball, explore cities with my camera, and see Operation Mincemeat on Broadway arguably more often than a person should.
PROJECTS
Making the arts more accessible in Boston
We created an app called “around town” to encourage discovery in the arts with events that are happening around town. Our system turns the experience of finding local activities into a social experience that gets more people into the arts in Boston.
Creating the playbill and program for a licensed theater production
I created the playbill and digital program for a licensed production of Merrily We Roll Along, produced by Boston University On Broadway.
Bringing constructivist learning to an AI-powered canvas
The AI whiteboard is a digital whiteboarding tool with a built-in constructivist AI that can only guide students to the answer, but physically interact with the canvas itself.
(Re)designing an existing experience for a new audience
Fantasy Sportsball is a new card game where you compete with your friends to see who can best predict what will happen this upcoming Super Bowl — commercials and all.
Creating a digital product to drive interest in a 50 year old institution
Catalog8H is a social cataloging tool (think Letterboxd) for SNL sketches. I created a high-fidelity digital prototype, brand system, and component library.
Designing/coding the brand experience for a Broadway startup
No Pool Productions is a new Broadway production company for which I designed the brand identity/coded the website. Let's make a splash!
Investigating the impacts of design on the journalistic process
Pitch is a design kit made up of cards that provide journalists with a structured brainstorming method for story ideas.
