This was an entire digital transformation of all eight programmatic responsive websites at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Prior to this initiative each of the websites were independently built by an outside agency which resulted in inconsistent functionality, increased dev time and no style guides. The newly designed websites are now based on a unified and structured template system. This system had to be flexible enough for the needs of eight very different festivals and programs with changing and growing content year to year. The newly designed sites now use two consistent style guides: one with a left rail and one full width to cater to the needs of each festival. All were also brought into the main platform at LincolnCenter.org. The end benefits of the new sites result in faster build time, modular thinking, and one CMS allowing for more flexibility and usability. I worked on visual design, interactive clickable prototypes for both desktop and mobile, including email and social media design.

iPhone users make up 95% of this core app's audience. I explored ways improve the app for the majority of our users by introducing new features including "tweet a performer", allowing for more menu items in the nav, and enhancing the Account Detail and Digital Ticket Pages where users can deliver tickets directly to their phone.

A complete redesign of LincolnCenter.org’s Visit section. This new module-based interface was designed with flexibility in mind. Prior to the redesign the content was hard for users to parse and sift through. I started with an audit of the original site to determine what could be either eliminated, paired down or combined. What I found was a lot of repetitive information throughout. I streamlined and structured the content in a more digestible format. I worked on wireframes, visual design and interactive clickable prototypes for both desktop and mobile.
Since the site is text heavy it needed to be clean, modern and also have a new approach to navigation globally.
These are a select grouping of pages.

A responsive site created for The Hall of Fame at Lincoln Center. The Hall of Fame will be the first of its kind honoring the artists, leaders, and advocates whose exceptional creativity have shaped, and continue to shape, the field of all of the performing arts at Lincoln Center.
The site showcases pages for each inductee including photo and video carousels, Founding Members, a 2017 Ceremony Page featuring videos, a page to buy tickets to the opening night Gala, and an About and Support Page.
All campus resident organizations—The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center Theater, The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—are participating.
New inductees will be honored each year. The first class of inductees of 2016 included Louis Armstrong, Plácido Domingo, Yo-Yo Ma, Audra McDonald, Leontyne Price and Harold Prince shown here. I worked on wireframes, visual design and interactive clickable prototypes for both desktop and mobile.

Lincoln Center is the world’s leading performing arts center, uniting on one campus across 16 urban acres in Manhattan. The Venue Sales Team manages all rentals of the organization including two world-famous concert halls and several indoor and outdoor event spaces for concerts, galas, product launches, upfronts, movie premieres and more. They wanted a newly re-designed website so their users could easily surface content and information both quickly and intuitively.
This newly designed responsive site now showcases the venues available to rent in a much more elegant way and streamlines features. The site now acts as an interactive portfolio of the spaces. There’s now a filtering system allowing users to view venues based on event type and number of attendees. An Instagram aggregation page now brings together updates and posts while curating them in one place. A new secure sign-in for clients has been incorporated and FAQ information is now much more inviting and organic. I worked on wireframes, visual design and interactive clickable prototypes for both desktop and mobile.

UN CERF was a critical part of the humanitarian response to almost every major crisis in 2014. CERF is one of the fastest and most effective ways to support rapid humanitarian response for people affected by natural disasters and armed conflict. The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator at the United Nations reviewed.
"In 2014, the world faced another sharp rise in the number of people who require urgent humanitarian assistance. The number of requests for support from the Central Emergency Response Fund was at its highest ever.” –Valerie Amos, former Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.

This was a campaign I worked on while being on the Syria Team at the United Nations. To mark the beginning of the fifth year of conflict in Syria, we kicked this awareness campaign off with UN leaders including Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Member States and the public in an attempt to allow the global community to express their frustrations about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria, and send a message of solidarity to the people of Syria so they do not give up hope. It launched March 11, 2015.
People were able to participate by posting a picture of themselves holding up the sign #WhatDoesItTake, and then post the picture to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #WhatDoesItTake and adding a message of solidarity for Syria’s people. All images were captured on the campaign website creating an online photo wall of solidarity and support. UN and humanitarian leaders signed up for the campaign and more than 60 high profile public figures joined the campaign, sharing photos of themselves holding #WhatDoesItTake sign.
The campaign continued until the High Level Pledging Conference on Syria in Kuwait (March 31, 2015) which brought in $3.8 Billion.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art approached me to design a brochure for their African Art Permanent Collection. This is used for children and young teens to walk with while exploring the works of art used in rituals and performances in four African countries, and finding out what secret wisdom they reveal. I met with the MET’s Education Department and the curator. We toured the world renowned exhibit for inspiration leaning towards an eye-catching, colorful, vibrant and fun catalog. It’s on display in the MET’s lobby and on the MET's website.
