I joined Northeastern University to help launch Experience, a digital magazine telling stories at the intersection of humanity and technology. I directed the design and implementation of the site, and I helped develop a content strategy in collaboration with the editor in chief.  In the summer of 2020, the Experience team pitched the idea of … Continue reading Experience Magazine

After talking with the writer about his idea, I went with him to Fenway (bringing along a videographer) to talk with the Sox hitting coach about the new approach, and I designed and implemented an interactive story that included video clips and a tool to show how launch angle and exit velocity combine to influence … Continue reading Launch angle revolution

I gathered city data from the preliminary election (delivered via PDF) and practiced cleaning it via a text editor and Excel. I joined the results to the precinct shapefile in qGIS and exported them in geoJSON, which I then used to power a series of Leaflet maps. The preparation paid off as we were able … Continue reading How Boston voted

I worked closely with Red Sox reporter Alex Speier to conceive, design and implement a data-driven piece that helped to illustrate how the unique delivery of pitcher Chris Sale makes him so difficult to face.

The questions can be lengthy and confusing, often making it difficult for a voter to decide which way to vote. As a designer, I wanted to give our readers an easy way to research the ballot questions, read our recommendations and make … Continue reading Ballot question explainer

After the shootings at an Orlando nightclub in June 2016, editors at The Boston Globe decided that the organization needed to make a powerful statement in favor of an assault weapons ban. We quickly decided on a four-page wrap of the newspaper, and we spent a lot of time thinking about how we could have the same impact online. … Continue reading “Make It Stop”

Boston sports fans are among the most passionate in the world. The Globe wanted to create a new mobile-focused sports experience on the web that would immerse fans in the action and give them deeper insights into what happens on the field. The new team pages for the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins launched in … Continue reading BostonGlobe.com sports
