Print & Web Design
Good design helps to communicate information, vital in the age of information overload. My print/graphic and web design work have been focused not in glamorous media and advertising, but rather in science and academics, as I believe there is a gap to be bridged between researchers/scholars and the general public.

Client: LC Tech is a R&D company focused on designing, developing and integrating advanced materials for optoelectronic device applications. Project overview: The goal was to design a minimalistic website that would cater to both the scientific community and potential business clients. A specific request was for all the projects to be displayed on one page, in a gallery-like format. A key challenge was in taking scientific terminology and concepts and presenting them in a more accessible fashion, both linguistically and visually. Skills: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript libraries |

Neuroscience Information Framework Website Client: The Neuroscience Information Framework, an NIH initiative focused on providing resources on the web to neuroscientists Project overview: NIF wanted to build a "Web 2.0" site with a focus on collaboration within the neuroscience community. A key challenge was in putting the focus on the search engine, the most important feature of NIF, especially as it was still in production at the time. Skills: XHTML, CSS, Photoshop, Flash; SEO, social media Note: Due to a version update to the database central to NIF, the live website now shows an entirely new design. |
