Using speech recognition technology, participants can reverse the timeline of demolished homes by speaking their address into the microphone.

Hi there,

My name is Eric James Wilson. I'm a communicator, a maker and a thinker. I  design with people in mind, craft seamless digital experiences, research better ways of creating, and help brands tell their stories.

I'm always on the lookout for like-minded creatives and I think I'm even a pretty good cook.
