DeepRockDrive was a revolutionary new music experience that blended the excitement of live
performances with the power of the Internet to allow fans and artists to interact in ways they never
dreamed of. Through simple tools, fans helped create setlists of songs, could direct their own
version of the show with an assortment of camera angles and feeds - in real time - during live
performances. Feedback from the internet-audience is bombarded onto the stage via dozens of
high definition monitors. It was a truly unique, unpredictable interactive experience for fans and
artists alike.
As Chief Interaction, Graphic, and Experience designer for DeepRockDrive.com, I was primarily
responsible for end-to-end design of the core DRD experience. I was heavily involved in decisions
related to the marketing, planning, and development of the platform, and worked closely with
Production, Technical, and Business teams to plan, produce, and execute on agreed-upon designs.
