The Bad Gift Emporium was developed to support Barkley's 2007 Holiday self-promotional mailing. On the site, users can display and trade strange and unwanted gifts they have received. It was developed in ActionScript 3 and uses XML and Ruby on Rails to upload and retrieve user generated content. The site has been featured on various media including pcmag.com, usatoday.com, the Jay Thomas Show on Sirius Satellite Radio and the Morning Show on WBBM, CBS's Chicago affiliate. It was also the recipient of a 2007 Gold ADDY award.

The Sonic Night Shift was developed to support Sonic's summer promotion, Even Sweeter After Dark. The game was concepted by me and another Flash developer and places the user in the role of a Sonic employee who takes and fullfills orders over an intercom. The artificial intelligence creates random orders that increase in difficulty as the user advances, and allows for the game to be open-ended. Six voices add variety to the experience and the user is critiqued by Chip, the trainer on a small video monitor.

Tot Rejection is a game inspired by one of Sonic's most popular TV spots written to take advantage of the popularity of March Madness. In the spot, Pete tries to eat a tot and TJ knocks it from his hand yelling, Rejected! The game consists of the user trying to toss a tot into Pete's mouth while TJ tries to block it. The game created enough of a following, that it inspired an entry on Wikipedia. In addition, it received a 2007 Gold ADDY award.

When Barkley launched the company's new site to coincide with their move to a new building, the work samples were updated to include a robust collection spanning the company's expertise. The work was so vast, that a filter was needed to allow the user to drill down to any work they may want to view. I developed the work display, the thumbnails and the work filter. The work filter allows the user to filter work by client, category or discipline. It can also be searched by text input with a result count updated within a few milliseconds.

Lunch/Dinner is a web app that allows a user to send a video invitation for lunch or dinner at Sonic to a friend. The inviation can be from eith Pete or TJ, the two guys who appear in many Sonic television spots. The friend receives an email with a link that launches the app, displaying the invitation. They then have the option of sending a video response. This viral piece was the recipient of a 2007 Gold ADDY award.

Make TJ Drink was designed to promote Sonic's large drink menu that allows for drink customization. The use can mix a drink from the Sonic menu, see a representation in real time, and then click a button to mix it. At that point, a video is selected based on the user's ingredients and how close it comes to TJ's ultimate drink. My role consisted of Flash development, including the video engine and AI. The site received a Gold OMNI award in 2007.

Every summer, Barkley hires a handfull of interns and this site was built to support the posters promoting the program.
