The Cooper Union (cooper.edu)

In 2009 I was hired by The Cooper Union to lead the development of a new website for the institution. The previous site had been created in the 1990s and was very dated, both technologically and visually. I hired a small team to help with the technology end of the project. I developed the information architecture and visual design of the site, based around the school’s new 150th Anniversary logo.

Manhattan Edit Workshop (mewshop.com)

Since 2005 I have designed most of Manhattan Edit Workshop’s promotional materials. In 2008, founder Josh Apter asked me to lead a redesign and rebuild of MEW’s website. The old site was built entirely in Flash and had no content management system, making it impossible for Josh and his team to make updates without hiring Flash developers. I developed a new site content plan and sitemap, and hired a developer to build a CMS so MEW can update the site whenever they want.
