Quokka Sports
Creative Director for Quokka Sports, who provided sports entertainment services for the global digital world.
Quokka Sports was a media darling internet company that covered live sporting events. Quokka started with extreme sports coverage, such as yacht racing, alpine climbing, and extreme marathons, but later expanded to the Olympics, Golf, and college basketball.
As Creative Director:
⇢ Led design for the multi-award-winning NBC coverage of the Sydney Olympics, Salt Lake City Olympics, PGA Golf, CART Racing, NCAA Final Four, and more.
⇢ At the forefront of technology and design, I created design standards that were emulated by the internet at large.
⇢ I wore trendy glasses and always carried a cross-over bag, per my title.

1.5 years
I led the design for Quokka’s most ambitious and successful project: NBC’s groundbreaking first live Olympic Games coverage website.
NBCOlympics.com had 40,000 pages of content and over 40 million unique visitors per month. The website was featured during NBC prime time and won many awards.
I designed and hand-coded all major sections. And yes, I worked an insane amount of hours every week!
