Some of my work

HTML Energy Podcast

Interview-style podcast I created with my friend Elliott Cost
Perfume Area Perfume Reviews

Perfume review / writing project I do with my friend Sydney Shen
Reflections Email Newsletter

Experimental newsletter I wrote during 2020 for about 100 people
All my friends on at once Collective Anthology

I wrote something for this online zine, curated by Gene McHugh, and I did the design or the website
Internet Onion Collective Anthology ... more info

I created this anthology with my Yale Spring 2019 Interactive Design class's writings about love online. The website is only "alive" for 6 weeks out of the year, and maybe you can tell it is currently "dead"
The Creative Independent Archive of Interviews with Artists

I was the creative director of this website (2016-17), run by the company Kickstarter. I created its identity, visual style, and website. Many other people conduct, edit, and publish the interviews with creative people.

Fruitful School Online Workshop

Independent web art school I created with my friend John Provencher ... we've had three 6-week sessions, the first was before the pandemic. For the first virtual one, we went "live" for two days in Fall 2020
Water Tasting Interactive Event

I invited some friends over to my apartment to taste different waters. We described them in words and tried to tell the difference between them. We had a still and sparkling division. The above video was created by my friend Elliott Cost.
Flight Simulator Red-Eye Flight

Flight Simulator is an app (for iOS and Android) I co-created with my friend Dan Brewster. I had a couple exhibitions around it. One was in Seoul, Korea (Summer 2019 at archive bomm gallery) (here are some pictures) and I invited people to sleep in the gallery for a 13 hour imaginary flight from Seoul to New York.
ATAP Tour Video for Event

Alt-Text as Poetry is a website about creative approaches to web accessibility that I co-designed and programmed with Taichi Wi. We made it for artists Shannon Finnegan & Bojana Coklyat. The video linked is a friendly tour through the website we created for a virtual event about the project.
