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.
For the Walker Art Center exhibition 50/50: Audience and Experts Curate the Paper Collection, patrons of the museum were asked to vote on a set of artworks with the top vote getters being included in the show. This iPad web app (also usable on phones and desktop browsers) was a simple and effective way to get users to quickly and easily vote on works and see the current results in real time.
A touchscreen kiosk designed and built for the Walker Art Center exhibition Benches and Binoculars.
The kiosk computer is an HP TouchSmart with Windows Vista. It's running a special version of Google Chrome with a kiosk mode patch compiled in. As such the interface itself is an interactive website built on traditional web standards.
The interface shows the artworks on two large walls in the galleries. A user can move the "walls" left and right, and then tap on an artwork to bring up detailed information on the object.

ArtsConnectEd is an interactive Web site that provides access to works of art and educational resources from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Walker Art Center for K-12 educators, students, and scholars. On September 26, 2006, the Institute of Museum and Library Services announced the 2006 National Leadership Grant recipients. The Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts were awarded a grant to redesign and expand the ArtsConnectEd website.
Over the course of the next three years I helped lead the design and UX direction in working directly with teachers, the Minneapolis Institue of Arts and the Walker Art Center to further classroom study and help merge the collections of both the Walker and the MIA into a unified system.
