Personal Projects

Fun on the side...
Keeping myself busy
Every now and again I work on a project of my own. Here are a few of the highlights.
THE KINETIC COFFEE TABLE
In collaboration with Bruce Shapiro, kinetic artist extraordinaire, I designed the worlds first kinetic coffee table. After three years in development we launched Sisyphus BRONZE for the luxury market.

Our collaboration together later inspired the consumer line of Sisyphus coffee tables which went on to be one of the most funded design projects on Kickstarter.

TV MARATHON FUNDRAISER
Lost-A-Thon was a 4 day television-marathon fundraising event created and participated in by Aaron Rosenthal alongside Alex Green and Mike Berlin. Unofficial world record holders, the trio completed every episode of LOST, concluding with the LIVE series finale in 94hrs and 50 minutes (http://bit.ly/2a4AXW1).

With over fifty volunteers participating 24/7 during the 4 day marathon, Lost-A-Thon raised almost $10,000 for charities Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Doctors Without Borders, and The Nature Conservancy. The event was covered by LOST fan sites around the world, BBC Radio, ABC World News, and broadcasted live on Good Morning America.

Hackspedition's mission is to immerse developers from emerging markets into the world of tech within major US cities. HackspeditionNYC brought two dozen budding developers from Mexico City for a week long expedition of technology companies, a 48hr hackathon, and developer schmoozing.
