Featured Projects
Super Teacher
Super Teacher is the first AI tutor for elementary school students, of which I’m the Head Product Designer. I lead the design of the app across a mobile app and web app used by children, parents, and schools; as well as a platform for educators to design their own interactive conversational lessons. I also write lessons myself, animate and edit ads and marketing materials, and illustrate artwork and graphics for the lessons themselves.
Cool School
A children's show featuring live actors, cartoon characters, puppets, and more. Produced by Driver Studios, of which I was the VP of Product and Creative. Since the show began in 2011, it's been viewed more than two billion times on YouTube; has featured cross-promotions with companies including Sesame Street, PBS Kids, and Curious George; and encompassed a read-along app and a series of graphic novels and illustrated children's books.
NWAR
An animated detective series that I write, direct, illustrate, and animate. It was selected to screen at the 2014 New York Television Festival, and played at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater as part of their monthly Channel 101 video competition from 2014-2017, setting the record for longest running show in Channel 101 NY history.
Animation and Video
As the founder of Dan Markowitz Studios, I’ve been a longtime partner of HarperCollins Publishers, producing and adapting over 50 books into animated versions; co-founded and led creative of For Kinder Times, an award-winning educational brand featuring collaborations with children's music legends Raffi and Laurie Berkner; produced videos and content for TV shows and series including Sesame Street, Impractical Jokers, The Birds & The BS, and more; and directed and edited award-winning short films and series that played at international film festivals (including a $10,000 grand prize).
