Earlier this year, we were engaged to design and develop an interactive kiosk for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security of the US Department of State. The kiosk, an integral part of a larger "Fallen Memorial" to honor individuals that lost their lives in service, was launched on Friday September 18. The touch-screen kiosk was built […]
Launched my passion project, ATTIC. I've been shopping for vintage and antique furniture since I got my first apartment in DC. The selection has grown slightly with new shops popping up in new neighborhoods.

It's a jQuery plugin that makes building interactive, multi-state prototypes for websites and apps easy. I know I'm going to be using it on my own projects […]
I've posted a new case study about the work I did for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) Make an Impact project. On behalf of one of their corporate clients, I designed and developed a pledge application/website. The site allowed their partners's employees to pledge to change a variety of actions to modify […]

Other technologies employed include the […]
Launched the Reformer, a new interactive tool for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB). The interactive tool allows users to choose from a variety of policy options and see the impact of those policies on the solvency of the US social security system. The tool provides users with instant feedback via data displays […]

The prototype used HTML5, responsive CSS from Twitter Bootstrap, and custom javascript and […]
