The Bistro Timeline is an interactive date-driven timeline on the history of projects produced by the Bistro group. The timeline is built purely by data and expands appropriately with every passing day. Developed for both desktop and tablet.
Universal View is a tablet prototype for Best Buy's product catalog. It is entirely a web driven interface using standard HTML5, CSS3 and JS. As such it will run on any tablet (iPad or Android based).
The design is very liquid, as orientation change will redraw the layout automatically via CSS, examples of which are shown in the screens provided. Interaction uses the inherent features of a tablet device (swipes, taps, etc). The data output is actual Best Buy data coming from their various product, reviews and listing API's.
Custom touchscreen kiosk for the exhibition 50/50: Audience and Experts Curate the Paper Collection at Walker Art Center. Because the exhibition was hung salon style, normal wall labels could not be used. This kiosk provides the information normally found on walls labels for patrons.
The kiosk reflects the artworks on the walls of the gallery. Users swipe the "walls" back and forth to find the work they want more information on, and then tap the artwork to see detailed text about the object as well as a larger image of it.

Public facing mobile site for the Best Buy Gift List feature on their mobile app. Users of the mobile app can share their gift lists with friends via Twitter, Facebook or email. The links from each take you to these mobile landing pages that people can take with them to stores as a shopping list, or buy right from the phone itself.
Prior to my departure as Senior New Media Designer at the Walker Art Center I worked on a project code-named "Better". "Better" was a full redesign and rethinking of the Walker website. The previous site had the concept of "neighborhoods" which were visually distinct areas of the website. The redesign would consolidate the design into one overarching Walker theme modeled after our print magazine (which was being redesigned in tandem with the website).
A major goal of the design was to push writing and articles more than before. We were trying to move the museum beyond the events and artwork it contained and position the Walker as a leader in art journalism and promotion around the globe.
I left the Walker previous to the completion of the project which would finally launch over a year later. Many of the original ideas brainstormed made it into the final website relaunch.
