1. Derrick and Smoky - The Movie
From Twitter widgets, sound effects and xml updatable content, this is one of the most sophisticated sites I've ever had to code. The challenge designing this site was creating a Flash experience that was "invisible" and fast.
The purpose was to aid the fundraising process of Chiara Adorno's thesis film "Derrick and Smoky."

2. Dan Perri Title Design
Remember the opening titles of "Star Wars"? Well. This is the guy who made them. He has also made a plethora of title sequences professionally.
The hardest part of designing this site was coming up with a way to allow for a visitor to browse through hundred of title sequences without feeling overwhelmed.

3. Mes Amis 193
Mes Amis is a small Bay Area hair salon that has a wonderful personal touch of Gene, the owner, in every aspect of the business. Almost from the very first moment, you feel like you are part of the family there.
This site is meant to allow for an initial impression of the place as well as an unpretentious way to introduce their staff and line of products they carry.

Clincer.com.br is the online home of "Clínica de Cirurgia Estética e Reconstrutora" a Brazilian plastic surgery clinic located in São Paulo, Brazil.

5. Weapons of Mass Instruction
Have you ever wanted a clever greeting card, but without all the glitter and clutter?
Weapons of Mass Instruction is a small greeting card company that makes exactly that. The unique aspect of these cards is their simplicity. There is part of a phrase in the front and, when you open it, part of the words in the front is actually inside: simple and elegant.

6. Naked Option: The Last Resort - The Movie
With the rising conflict surrounding Middle Eastern oil, Big Oil started exploring even more Oil from West Africa regions; particularly Nigeria.
This website was created in the early stages of Post-Production of the film that recounts how Big Oil's inconsequent acts made it impossible for the people from Niger Delta to survive.
From the site, the idea was to show a preview, a way to donate money and contact the filmmakers.

7. Art Center Film Festival 2009
As a favor to a peer at Art Center, I made him this simple and concise site to show submission information, photos and a public Google calendar for potential applicants to view.
This site was made in less than 5 hours from beginning to end (including graphics) pro bono.

8. Copyright - Pasadena
Copyright is small Pasadena Copy shop serving local with great personalized service.
I was not in charge of the design, but of building and coding the site. As a copy service center, Copyright had unique needs as far as programming goes, including a fully functional client file uploading service.

9. BobbyNishimura.com - version 4
This was my long serving website that served me from 2006 till 2009. When I made this site, there wasn't any action script 3 and I knew very little about XML and dynamic classes.
But as a legacy item, it is still up as a reference.

10. Obama '08 Green Change Now!
In 2008, I was in a challenging Interactive design class, in which we were given only about 4-5 weeks to conceptualize, pitch, design and build an Obama Campaigning website that expanded the now President Obama's online presence.
My solution for this challenge was to use existing YouTube video content to bring together his campaigning renewable plans and history.

11. Where to Munch - On Location*
For the final project in this same Interactive Design class, we were prompted to come up with two interfaces for a service that would benefit from interactivity.
This first interface is for a location kiosk that allows visitors and tourists to discover new places to eat, get directions to new places and blog with community members.

12. Where to Munch - Online*
This second interface is an online version of the kiosk, but with a different interface and the additional capability to look into other community's blogs and learn about different areas.
*These were made as proof of concept and is not fully functional.
