My friend and colleague Wayan Vota launched a site called OLPC News in 2006. Now the site has a three-person editorial team, over a dozen other authors, and 5,000 readers per day. In their own words, the editors “do our best to celebrate what is going right, question what is going wrong, and suggest what […]
The U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) asked me to put one of their courses online: The Certificate Course in Interfaith Conflict Resolution (link goes to USIP site). USIP had already posted one course on conflict analysis, so they had already established the course structure and design template.The course content, which they provided, was fascinating. The […]
Another custom website for an artist friend, including a hidden page with a “secret door” leading to it! Each page background is based on a different photo by Mark, from his Reflections series. Mark’s site was certainly different from any other I had worked on, and a lot of fun. From the projects page, clicking […]
As Geekcorps Associate at IESC in 2006, I was tasked with redesigning and rebuilding the Geekcorps website with a new CMS. (The original site had not been redesigned in years and used a custom-made Microsoft Access-based CMS that had become somewhat unwieldy with age.)
Adapted Consulting, a newly formed company, was building a website. They had their own developer but needed a designer to develop the look and feel, and build an XHTML/CSS template that they could replicate throughout the site.

I made new mockups, suggested some improvements to the design, coded the HTML and CSS for all the pages, and updated much of the content.

It publishes scholarly articles about the arts of the book, in limited editions with covers designed and hand-printed by editor Jae Rossman.

The Association des Municipalités du Mali (AMM), with their partners the Service de Coopération et d’Action Culturelle de l’Ambassade de France au Mali (SCAC), needed to put their central clearinghouse of decentralization information online. Through ICVolunteers, I became a CyberVolunteer responsible for designing the look and feel of the portal. I worked with another CyberVolunteer […]
The CNPA wanted a colorful, informative, and appealing site that would showcase Malian artisanat (handcrafts), describe a number of crafts in detail, show sample items, and give contact information for getting in touch with Malian artisans. They requested a look-and-feel that reflected the art of Mali, so I created an original background based on traditional […]
