3. I have lived in NYC area for over 15 years now, however if I were to pick my most recent experience in NYC, it would be Alexander Mcqueen's exhibit at the Met.

4. My favorite project was from Andy Pratt’s final assignment to design an application that crossed over multiple platforms. I designed an iPhone app. called Vie to help the public track their health in particular their vital signs and connect with their physician. I also provided the physician with an iPad version of this app, especially crafted for them to use in connecting with blood labs and the patient.
