DoTank:Brooklyn

In collaboration with Aurash Khawarzad, Ken Farmer, Tom Peyton, Vish Deo, and Michael Zick Doherty

DoTank:Brooklyn DoTank is a public vessel for interdisciplinary exploration, engagement and enhancement of our urban environment through means outside of the formal urban planning process. We make rapid and meaningful change by exploring and testing in our laboratory: Brooklyn, NY.

By catalyzing local intellectual capital, we carry out interventions meant to improve the built environment. We connect, capture, build, design, and produce, and above all else, we Do.

As the industrial designer of the group, I head up much of the design and implementations of the physical interventions. Some projects accomplished by DoTank include the projection of a Digital Community Billboard, 'Chair-bombing' adirondack chairs made from used shipping pallets, Guerilla Bike Racks, DIY Urban Agriculture Skillshare workshops, among other project.
