The following represents my current body of work. It may seem a bit eclectic at times, but I see it as a rather rounded approach to understanding and designing for people. People like you and me who crave information and don't want anything holding it up, hiding it, or overly complicating it. It can be pretty or even fun just as long as you give it to us straight.

You can also take a look at my résumé if you are so inclined.

Untitled Prison Project

Summer 2006 to Present |  (In Production)

Overview

A joint collaboration between the University of Michigan’s School of Information and the Archives of Michigan, the Untitled Prison Project website will provide online access to research and educational resources on the subject of state prisons, reform, and related social topics.

The website will feature the State Prison of Southern Michigan (SPSM) and the archives of the Rev. Albert Ewertt, Chaplain of SPSM (1933-1935). The materials are provided by the Archives of Michigan and include inmate stories, letters, artwork, and photographs.

Status

During Summer 2007, much of the content to be featured on the website was digitized and along with my partner, Kate Bergeron, it has been cataloged for use on the website. As I continue to work on processing the digital images, Kate works on creating inmate, facility, and offense records. In the coming months we will also work towards integrating teaching aids and other learning guides for researchers and students.

The website is built on the Expression Engine content management platform. The following screenshots show our working documents for data models and relationships, work flows for creating image and inmate records, and a proposed site map.
