For an event to announce a new canning initiative by a local food bank, Zill designed a bar made from 2,500 cans. On the top of the bar, he placed statistics about hunger under clear Lucite slabs so guests could learn about the issue while getting a drink.

To create an interactive s'mores station, Zill filled a five-foot-long box with black river rock to simulate charcoal and embedded Sterno cans in the rocks.

For a new spin on cupcakes, turn them into an interactive experience by teaching guests how to decorate a cupcake like a professional.
