The Spirit of the Indianapolis 500
Client: 500 Festival
Role: Design & Development
The 500 Festival is the celebration of the Indy 500 and they wanted their site to reflect that. The festival has a HUGE library of images and they've been put to work on this site, with nearly every page having a nice banner image that promotes the spirit of the events. Another requirement for the site was that it needed to be easy to update for their staff of volunteers. I used Drupal and set it up with a lot of automated features, such as image cropping, so that it would be easy as a breeze to edit.

Discover Abe Lincoln
Client: Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection
Role: Design & User Experience
The Lincoln Foundation is a premier collection of artifacts from the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. The curators wanted the collection to be as accessible as possible and thus wanted the entire collection to be available online. The collection has a million ways that a user can explore it, including a fun little widget called "Surprise Me" that spins a wheel and displays a random object.

Satellite School Gets Planet-sized Web Site
Client: University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg
Role: Design & Development (Full Drupal CMS install and theme)
This is one of my most ambitious and satisfying projects to date. The design is a breath of fresh air to the design of Pitt's Greensburg campus. The CMS Drupal was used to control content, allowing fine-tuned access and moderation, as well as to allow content to be entered once and automagically distributed to it's proper location on the site (e.g. once entered, faculty show up in all the right places.)
