My primary project, throughout the two years I spent at RPI, was the reconstruction of the Arts website. In addition to every aspect of the sites' graphc and interaction design, I provisioned servers, engineered RDBMS schemas, wrote a cross-platform object-oriented site system. The site had blogging and Wiki-style features, with fine-grained access control, such that Arts faculty and administrators could simply maintain their own content through web forms.

The site was built on a rather conservative grid, but when the main navigation elements were moused over, gigantic orange icons would explode into view, across the browser window and into the main HTML text. This design gesture expressed the RPI Arts departments' quintessentially anti-authoritarian ethos without resorting to pedantry or stereotypical imagery.

Recently, I was dismayed to learn that the site has been taken offline, and the content folded into a school-wide content management system provisioned by RPI. As such, I will provide a tour of the site upon request to interested parties (I must run this site from my laptop, for both legal and technical reasons).
