Mashup Project #1: The Food Finder
For project No.1, I call it the Food Finder. An app or website that would help you find a place to eat, or IDEAS on where to eat at any given moment depending on your location.
You would have to use your iPhone or Smartphone, to locate a nearby restaurant in NYC, which would then give you options where to go and filter it through your preference (i.e. price, vegan, vegetarian, hours, per star value). It would indicate the location, how many miles depending on a your vicinity and or five mile radius.
The idea is to make things easier for people find a place to eat when you have no clue where to go and depending on your given location at that moment.
This would gather information from six sources:
1) Yelp
2) Zagat
3) Time Out
4) New York Magazine
5) Daily Candy
6) Google Maps

Well let's see... I graduated from NYU w/ a BA in French Language and International Politics. Because of the French, I became an account executive in the fashion industry. Being a corporate yuppie didn't really sit well with me after awhile. So I switched careers and retrained as a Graphic Designer/Art Director building up my print portfolio (I wanted to pay attention to my creative side).
Now in my 30s, I want to evolve into something more progressive along the lines of new media (i.e. interaction, web and motion). I've handled huge accounts, dealt with "captain of industry" types, and managed a staff. At this point, I want to focus on me and what I truly want to become professionally. I'm a lot more mature and honest with myself this time around. And I think I have more to offer artistically and intellectually than I had in the past.
