I worked with the website developer and the department's graphic artist to develop the administration screens for this web application. We had to figure out how the content providers would input information, organize the webpages, and administer the enrolled students. I also created HTML & CSS templates for each of the different pages, cleaned up and edited photographs, directed the layout and placement of content on the published pages, guided the needed functionality and user actions of the website, and provided technical support for students.

This a mockup of the layout of an administration screen for the developer's use. I'd recommend placement and layout of navigation, buttons, actions, and functionality as well as creating the actual graphics for the buttons and icons. (Overall look and feel and banner was created by the department's graphic artist.) I also created an HTML & CSS template for the developer to use.

I worked with the department's designer to create a few standardized formats of small 1-10 page "features" for inclusion in the Texas Politics website. I then was in charge of coding all the templates and actual features throughout my entire employ at LAITS. I probably coded over 100 individual webpages for this project.

This is my favorite web design that I created while working at LAITS. I got a rough mockup from our graphic designer and was able to substantially alter the design to make a completely new layout. The graphic designer oversaw student artists create the background graphics found on the site, and I worked with a project manager to develop the site in Movable Type.

The main purpose of this project was not to create a website, but to film and distribute videos of all forty-some lectures of Professor Howard Miller's class, Jesus in American Culture. A variety of people worked on this project. Some created PowerPoint presentations and graphics or edited audio and video for the professor to use in class. Others actually filmed and edited the lectures, or created transcripts and mp3s from the video. I designed the site and implemented it in Movable Type, our second blog-powered website.

This was the first version of my website.

This site was a small project in which I could try out a more graphic-intense design. I learned a lot about transparent PNGs while building this site, as well as working with students on creating the supplemental graphics you find at the bottom of the signpost and overseeing coding of the site. As became more and more common, I would create the design and working prototype of a site, then hand it off to students to build custom graphics and/or finish adding content to the template I had created. For this site, student assistant Marissa created the clouds and mountain road you see above, and Amy coded the subpages of the site.

I did this series of logos for the Fatshionista.com logo contest. The contest was dropped, but I am proud of these graphics.

This was a very fun website and project to build. I took an STS class at UT during the fall 06 semester, and worked with classmate Hatty on our final class project.

This book cover was designed as a favor for my brother's mother-in-law. She picked the photograph and I designed the front and back covers.

I love astronomy, and though I barely passed my lone Astronomy course in college, I still hold a star-struck sense of awe in my heart and mind for the beauty of the cosmos. I noticed that a lot of astronomy charts weren't the best designed from an infographics POV, so this is my stab at it.

A particular favorite of mine, probably created during my second or third year working at LAITS. After I'd been entrusted to work on my infographics for the Texas Politics site (sometimes to less than stellar results), I tried to infuse each chapter with its own particular atmosphere. The Justice chapter was therefore done in high-contrast reds, greys, and B&W to reflect the starkness of the "cold, hard facts" of the Texas justice system. If I had the chance at a do-over, I'd tweak the contrast to make the numbers easier to see.

The Daily Intelligencer is a unique departmental site, intended to walk students through a variety of quizzes and writing assignments. Over the summer of 2006, a variety of students, designers, programmers, and content providers worked furiously to launch the site for use in fall 2006. My role was to develop 5-6 HTML/CSS templates to provide to the programmer, and to be in constant communication with both the designer and programmer as to layout and user interface issues. I also become the default "tech support" throughout the fall semester.
