Publications

In addition to my current work with Reamplify Design and my graduate work with CICS, I’ve worked on some interesting projects. Here’s a partial list:

I spent the summer of 2009 at Lensrentals.com as an intern (their first ever, actually). I made a bunch of videos, got to work with all sorts of lenses and cameras, and edited hundreds of pages of copy. I also developed a company style guide for the website and made some mockups for a website redesign.

The video above is a compilation of the semester’s projects.
