Professional History

Owner / Partner, reBang

Private, Sole Proprietor employees, Other (please specify) industry

Sole proprietorship initiated as a design consultancy with the intent of shifting to "transreality" design (i.e. developing both tangible and intangible products).

As of 2006, started consulting for virtual world development programs (notably, the Emmy award-winning MTV effort).

As of 2007, began moving further into "transreality" design as the potential for such overlaps has begun to enter the public awareness; most notably Ganz's Webkinz toy. Thus, along with traditional consulting on product development and now virtual world design/marketing, I've begun a four-year project to develop an open source narrative and a line of niche products that utilizes "true reverse product placement" methodologies ( see http://blog.rebang.com/?p=1365 ).
