Kate Howe Makes Things

I recently completed a new site for Kate Howe using the Isotope jQuery Plugin. Sort the projects to see it in action.

Mood-Tuner 12/5/2011

Here’s another fun site I just finished up: Mood-Tuner for my friend Kate. It’s the companion site to an iPad app of the same name (App Store link).

Whereas my recent site for Ksenya scrolls horizontally, this has little modules that move around and expand and contract. It uses the amazing isotope jquery plugin by David DeSandro.

Here is a fun project I did recently for my friend Ksenya: a blog that scrolls horizontally. She did the design, I did the coding. It uses the open-source CMS we developed at Bureau Blank, and there’s some jQuery to make the columns and image popups.

It didn’t take too long either, which is great when it’s a freelance project. According to my notes, it was under 30 hours.

Bureau Blank Has a New Website 2/8/2011

Bureau Blank, the company at which I work, officially launches its new website today.

Excellent 3d artwork by Brendan Coyle.

Brad Ascalon Redesign 5/8/2010

I recently programmed a redesign of Brad Ascalon’s site:

Brad is a furniture and industrial designer based in New York City with clients and exhibitions worldwide.

The site shows off some new Jquery javascript techniques.

Brian Booker 3/8/2010

At long last, I have completed a big update on Brian Booker’s website.

We added a number of new artworks, a video of him reading, and content management system to help keep the site up-to-date.

If you’re on Cape Cod this weekend, you can see him read at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown on Saturday the 13th at 8pm.

Living Cities Events Page 3/2/2010

Here is another Bureau Blank project that launched recently: a public calendar for Living Cities.

Living Cities Events Page

The nicest feature is that the client can fully control the events, RSVPs and meeting materials from their Salesforce account. Changes they make on Salesforce are pulled over to the site automatically.

Sites of Conscience Update 2/19/2010

I came across this old post about my work on the Sites of Conscience site and thought I’d bring it up to date.

The design has continued to evolve, and I’ve made some updates to the programming, such as adding a new tab, and a newsticker on the homepage, and some new methods of administering newsletters, press releases and institutional members.

A lot of the content has evolved too, particularly in the sections on the right side of the navigation.

I’ve learned a lot from working on this project for the last few years. I’m not sure I ever would have really gotten into WordPress if not for this project. So this blog would be a lot different!

Better Faster Cheaper 2/15/2010

I programmed this blog at Bureau Blank for Steve Goldsmith and the Ash Center at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

This is one of my best professional achievements! We built the whole platform from the ground up; meaning an extensive custom CMS backend that integrates between several related sites.

And because HKS has a staff of good people to keep the site growing, it’s getting a lot of traffic and attention.

Admiral Center 2/14/2010

On Friday, we launched a new website for the Admiral Center, a nonprofit that channels investments from celebrities. We, in this case, being myself and the good folks at the branding agency Bureau Blank, where I am Director of Web Development.

The design and intro video was done by Leah Lin, and a lot of the coding on this project was done by Sergiu Baluta. In fact, I didn’t do that much! Honestly, I just glued it all together at the end.
