Work

A visual examination of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s many (many) businesses, and how his products touch the lives of everyday Indians in more ways than anyone can imagine. A fun project, expertly illustrated by Glenn Harvey.

Laughter is universal -- but lol is not. We all know what a laugh sounds like in person, but online, different cultures have very different ways of writing it down. A simple, fun project to document who says haha or kkkk, and why "giant grass field" is hilarious in Japanese.

Looking at the changing fortunes of the tech industry from an unexpected angle: football shirt sponsors. I grew up with Panini World Cup sticker books, so I loved applying that look and feel to this story.

We wanted people to discover our wide library of explainers on the big names in China’s tech industry, but couldn’t find an engaging way to showcase them. In the end, we took inspiration from the introduction to the show Silicon Valley.

We did a lot of in-depth gadget reviews in text and video form at Abacus, but this was probably my favorite one: not too long, but packed with (I hope!) useful and clear information.

We always tried to do things a little differently at Abacus, so when I had the chance to interview Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan, we streamed it live on Twitch. We also used Twitch's Clips feature to embed individual answers in the story; sadly, that version of the story died with Abacus.

Obituaries are always sad to write, but I try to pay tribute by explaining just what made them so special. Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata is one of those special people, and I hope I did him justice here.

As a big gamer, it was really important to me that we covered games properly at CNN. I visited Hello Games to put together this preview of the brilliant No Man’s Sky a year before it released.

We put together a special, hour-long broadcast when Steve Jobs died. I produced the show and wrote the bulk of it myself; even the gadgets in the Apple design showcase segment were my own.
