A unique digital video wall network; An exceptional opportunity for innovation.

I spearheaded a robust, multi-disciplinary team overseeing strategy, digital content, and experience design for the Microsoft Store Video Wall Network. From streamlining processes and operations to conceptualizing and creatively directing content, we navigated diverse tasks ranging from interactive proof of concepts to orchestrating the scale of the largest video wall photo booth experience. This endeavor stands out as an exceptional highlight in my professional journey, showcasing my passion for impactful and innovative projects.

The Video Wall Case Study

From the project’s inception to the implementation of our initial operational solution (Video Wall 1.0) and the subsequent evolution into a fully automated system with numerous concurrent content and experience workstreams (Video Wall 2.0) and beyond, we meticulously examined every aspect and explored every conceivable idea.
