MAPU
The concept for this project was to create an application that gave college students an easy to use map to find their way around campus. The user will be able to select a building on the map view and get directions to that building from their current position. They will also be able to view all the buildings and events on campus in the places or events tab.

The logo was designed by the graphic design students and the animators created a video campaign. I was in charge of designing and developing the Peace Day Philly website.

CHRIS HARTZELL
I have been studying Interactive Design at Philadelphia University for the past four years. I have tried to absorb as much knowledge as a I possibly can about the world of Interactive Design. I enjoy every aspect of the profession from the design phase to development.
As my college experience is ending in only few months I’m looking for opportunities in the professional world from freelance to a full time position. My job interest include Junior Web Developer/Designer, Mobile App Developer/Designer and possibly Video Editor.
Mobile design and development has become one of my passions, and I have a good deal of experience in designing and developing apps and mobile web sites. If you want to contact me about anything, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or give me a call at anytime.
