WordPress: Magic BJJ
Similar to my work at CleanTeam USA, this client required a modern business aesthetic with a responsive interface for their new site. The forked WordPress theme I chose for this project, Customizr, worked well here with its out-of-the-box features. One issue I come across very often, that the client’s site’s navigation is tiered in a […]
Startup: Transparent Pharmaceuticals at MyBestRx
Upon returning from teaching English in Korea, I set out once again on the Startup Bus from Chicago, IL to Austin, TX to develop and pitch a full-fledged Startup company at SXSWi 2014. We were one of four among dozens to actually pitch in Austin, because of our ability to rally a greater Web following […]
Flickr Video: The Broad Construction
The video garnered more than 1,000 views in 2012. It was the culmination of my work as the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum’s Webmaster. We steadily climbed from zero followers and an average of 10-50 views per picture/video, to averaging hundreds of views, and finally this video, which was an exemplar of the continued […]
Visualizing Sound: HTML Site w/video
As the first pre-opening exhibition for the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, the exhibition Visualizing Sound‘s site was an exploration in developing MSU’s new art museum Web media and how it would represent itself.

Time Lapse: The Broad @ MSU
After hand-picking 531 stills from thousands of pictures taken by WKAR’s roof top-installed webcam, I tested multiple technologies for making a time lapse video, which resulted in a little trial and error before the video began to take shape. My first attempt was to use Camtasia to record an iPhoto slideshow then edit that in […]
GIMP: Design Demonstrations
As an experiment with gradients in GIMP 2.0, the open source-alternative to Photoshop, these works would go on to inspire the evolving design of my Portfolio. I was studying basic design concepts, using techniques for designing graphics through layers and understanding of the interface. Some other ideas developed include editing text as a figure, examining […]
BRIC: Instructional Wiki
The conversion of a hefty hard copy manual used by interviewers at the Biomedical Research Informatics Core for data entry into a self-contained wiki site was one project assigned to me as technical writer. This involved applying concepts covered in my Digital Rhetoric classes to the Wiki’s organic development and sophisticated formatting, planning for what […]
Social Media Writing: Sample (Sign Off/Strategy Guide)
Producing content for The Broad’s social media accounts on Twitter, Flickr, and Facebook, while we established its organizational identity, was a great opportunity as a developer to build an art institution’s presence from the ground floor up. In this social media strategy guide, I recommend methods for building a community of supporters Online and assets […]
Flickr Photography: The Broad @ MSU
When Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum was being constructed, I saw a chance to tie social media presence to a physical entity. Its progress was the perfect subject for establishing a solid connection to our audience. When workers snapped on the metal components of the exterior and installed the polygonal panes of glass, I […]
