Visual Design for Pico-8 Workshops

Promotional materials in support of community focused coding workshops.

My collaborator Don Miller and I ran community workshops in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Gainesville, Florida. I created print and digital assets to publicize the events, including a basic event webpage.

Working at Mozilla

During my seven years at the tech nonprofit Mozilla, I developed leadership curriculum and taught workshops. I wrote articles, blogged, co-produced videos, and even made a podcast pilot. Much of my work was centered around community events.

Read my recap of our 2018 Global Coding Sprint. You can learn more about Mozilla's annual participatory festival for the open web in my article The Making of MozFest.

I blogged about two 2018 Festival contributors in Navigating AI’s Moral Labyrinth at MozFest and At MozFest and Beyond: Defending the Internet from Machitrolls. The image shown here is from the MozFest 10th anniversary book, to which I also contributed.

My colleague Chad Sansing and I experimented with a pilot MozCast podcast. I also co-produced a series of videos about Open Source with my colleague Abby Cabunoc Mayes, for our Open Leadership Training intiative. We developed concept and content, working closely with an external videographer and animator. At MozFest 2018, I collaborated with on-site videographers to produce this recap video. I ensured that key locations and events were documented, selected, coordinated, and conducted community interviews, and provided direction around the final edit.

Community Events Promo

I’m involved with different organizations and groups in my local area. Sometimes I make graphics to promote workshops, gatherings or benefits.

Museum Audio Tours

Over the years I’ve worked as a freelance writer for a media production company called Acoustiguide, producing scripts for audio guides for visiting or permanent exhibitions.

Over the years I’ve worked as a freelance writer for a media production company called Acoustiguide, producing scripts for audio guides for visiting or permanent exhibitions. Acoustiguide’s clients include the Seattle Art Museum, Kimball Art Museum, Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), New York Botanical Gardens, 9/11 Museum and Memorial, and others. This work involves interviewing curators, reviewing background materials, selecting quotes and synthesizing key information about each object or artifact into scripts for short, evocative, narratively compelling audio “stops.” The scripts are read by a voice actor; expert quotes are edited into the final piece. A recent project is the audio guide to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newly renovated Arts of the Ancient Americas galleries. The photo here is an ancient Inca tunic featured in the tour. Listen to this tour and see photos of the artifacts.

Plant Signage

I made these little print signs introducing some plants, created for a garden/nursery in Gainesville, Florida.

I created the custom font to match the client’s aesthetic, as the gardens are part of a complex that features huge, very colorful geometric tile mosaics and art made from recycled/found materials.
