Chorus Public Art
2022
Identity and website design/development for a public arts consulting service that seeks to expand visibility and access to the arts through thoughtfully placed public artworks, site-specific public engagement, and community programming.

Sonsbeek Biennial
2020
Website design for a contemporary art exhibition in Arnhem, The Netherlands.
Over the course of industrialization, noise pollution has increasingly disrupted the rhythms of natural sound, affecting damage to surrounding non-human populations. The website design takes the exhibition's theme of labor and its sonic ecologies as a starting point, translating a selection of featured audio pieces (songs, oral histories, spoken word related to the exhibition) into birdsong, repopulating the environment with these invisible voices once more.

Website design for the decades-old library catalog of ArtCenter College in Los Angeles, emphasizing ways to highlight featured books, as well as a shuffle function of selected quotes and images from the collection to serve as ongoing inspiration for online visitors.
