label LA augmented reality art installations

label. LA was an augmented reality app that displayed 15 of my street art installations throughout Los Angeles. The app allowed users to discover and view AR artworks placed in physical locations around the city. When visitors traveled to specific locations, the artwork would appear automatically in their environment through the app's camera. This project explored how AR technology could democratize public art, bypass traditional gatekeepers, and create permanent yet ephemeral installations that existed only in digital space while being anchored to physical locations.

Mintopoly was a cryptocurrency-based idle game that explored the intersection of blockchain technology and gaming. Players could earn and trade a custom cryptocurrency while collecting NFTs that provided actual utility through in-game boosts and powerups. The game attracted tens of thousands of players and pioneered practical NFT integration in gaming before the broader market understood their potential. This project demonstrated how blockchain technology could create meaningful player economies and ownership structures in digital entertainment.

The platform features unique training tools including GM Simulator, Blindfold Tactics, and Personalized Puzzles that turn player mistakes into custom exercises. These training tools focus on the specific, practical skills needed to help you become, well, less bad at chess.
