The Humber River Basin Project is a research project examining the natural and human history of Newfoundland's Humber River Basin. As the web designer and developer for this project, I created a customized content management system which allows project participants to contribute media files and and other data. I used WordPress as the basis for the website because it is open source, powerful and flexible, while providing a user-friendly interface for researchers and students working on the project. The content management system makes use of advanced WordPress features such as custom post types and custom taxonomies. We are currently adding content to the website, which is not yet publicly accessible.

The Map section of the site uses the Google Maps API to provide a geographic context for historical imagery and population data.

I designed and coded the Timeline system specifically for this project, using JavaScript and WordPress.

The Humber River Basin Project website is intended as an accessible, organized and user-friendly portal into an extensive archive of historical material.

jQuery is used to create an engaging and useful interactive experience. A magnifying loupe can be used to examine large images.

WordPress is used as the basis for a heavily customized content management system designed to suit the requirements of the project.

Morgan MacDonald is a bronze sculptor in St. John's, Newfoundland. His public monuments have become a prominent part of the landscape of St. John's, including The Rower, commemorating the Royal St. John's Regatta at Quidi Vidi Lake, and A Time, anchoring downtown George Street. Morgan's previous website was hard to update, and didn't match the look and feel he wanted for his work. With this complete redesign, the site is powered by WordPress, so Morgan can update it easily. Bold colours help to accentuate the bronze sculptures.

A dropdown menu provides quick and visually engaging access to Morgan's sculpture portfolio.

Robin Muller is a textiles artist and assistant professor at NSCAD University in Halifax. For this website, which features over 30 years of textiles and book arts, I structured the portfolio based on patterns found in Robin's work. We included a Press section for publications featuring her work, and there are videos of some of the recent collaborative projects.

Léola Le Blanc is a new media artist and curator in Halifax. Her website features various audio and video artworks, including a video podcast. I designed a custom WordPress theme for Léola, which allows her to add new projects and news events, update her CV, and schedule future podcasts.

Marlene MacCallum is a printmaker and book artist in Corner Brook, NL. I designed this website to complement her work, which often features black and white photography, translucent paper, and lens imagery. The website is built using WordPress, which allows Marlene to edit and update the site content.

Martina Lantin is a ceramic artist who has worked in Baltimore and Halifax. Her work is frequently photographed on a white surface, and I designed this website to complement the photos. A slideshow on the home page provides an overview of her practice, while portfolios employ mouseover browsing so visitors can quickly view the work. Martina updates the News page using WordPress.

A Stone's Throw Glass is the studio of Urve Manuel, a glass artist in Gillams, NL. Urve required a website to promote her work and stained glass lessons. She was already blogging, so we made the blog a prominent part of the website. We also connected the site to her Etsy shop, and provided a map to help visitors find her studio.

Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts is an arts centre in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I recently designed this website for their Figurative Association symposium, which features several internationally known ceramic artists. This distinctive, theatrical design aims to unify the diverse cast of characters embodied in the artworks. This project included the design of the Figurative Association wordmark, and a postcard for the symposium.

The home page features a rotating series of close-up images, showcasing details of participating artists' work.

The Figurative Association symposium website was conceived, built and launched in less than three weeks.

Expanding Bodies was an international conference about digital design in architecture, hosted by Dalhousie and NSCAD University. The website includes a registration system, a conference schedule and map, and information about various lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. For this project I worked with Melanie Lowe, who designed the logotype and print materials. The site background was inspired by student work highlighted at the conference.

The Centre for Cultural Technology & Innovation is a network of research projects at NSCAD University. The layout for this website was inspired by the wayfinding signage at NSCAD's newly-built Port Campus. As part of this project, I photographed the Port Campus for the website.

NSCAD University's CineFlux is a research centre for emerging cinema and media arts. The home page features a prominent area intended to be used to showcase video and interactive artwork as the centre evolves. I also did most of the photography for this website, and created the intro animation.

DeadCat Press represents the work of David Morrish, a photographer and book artist in Corner Brook, NL. This website uses the metaphor of an aged book to present David's work, which often employs alternative photographic processes. David has used "Fluffy" the cat mummy as a mascot for many years.

This website presents the work of artists and writers involved in the project. It also includes a collaborative environment for research project participants, powered by MediaWiki. I designed this website while participating in the project as a research assistant.

Discovery Centre is a not-for-profit science centre in Halifax. I designed these and other visual communications while working there as a summer employee.
