AAS/IMLS Teaching With Images, 2012
HTML, CSS, PHP, Omeka, Javascript, Jquery, Wireframing (Balsamiq)
This is an early wireframe of the functionality for an individual item page. This wireframe came out of a series of meetings with historians and teaching professionals, which have resulted in the creation of a prototype set of plugins and theme which will enable small institutions to better situate works in their collection online with teaching resources and pedagogical supports. (The project is still in development)

HTML, CSS 3, Jquery, Social Networking Strategy
The Ely Silverthorne site uses a simple Jquery scrolling image technique and uses CSS 3 filters to create a subtle visual layout to accompany the site’s primary goal which is emphasizing the social networking strategy for promoting Ely Silverthorne’s music.

Mike Gorman Music & Apple Wood Records. Fall 2009
Wordpress, CSS, PHP, Photoshop
Mike was a musician with a very personalized style of music and wanted a site that complimented the music. Mike hired an artist to sketch a series of images and I scanned and assembled the components to compliment the site’s layout. Despite the heavy emphasis on hand drawn art, text was added strategically to enhance searchability without detracting from the overall hand-drawn vision.
American Social History Project. Fall 2009
Wordpress, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, Photoshop
The American Social History Project website was a study in how to make use of an existing content management system, in this case WordPress, and make it looks as little like a WordPress website as possible. I implemented the designer’s layout and customized it to fit within the constraints of WordPress. Additionally, I modified several add-ons and created unique add-ons to handle the clients custom specifications.
