2008
Front End Developer at IF/THEN Studio
The Henry Art Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery and part of the University of Washington. In 2008, If/Then was brought in to create a new website that reflected their unique culture and relevance in the art world.
I led front-end development of the website, which used basic HTML fonts and colors to create a true-to-the-web-medium, brutalist aesthetic.
We replaced the typical museum events calendar with an audacious interactive timeline that showed events and exhibitions as a gantt chart and allowed users to seamlessly scroll through some eighty years of the museum's exhibition history.
The website, and especially the calendar, generated a lot of conversation within the arts community and redefined what a contemporary art museum website could look like.
In conjunction with the new website, If/Then produced three microsite installations, titled Digital Interactive Galleries. I led development of Northwest Artists, a web-based introduction to works of contemporary Seattle region artists from museum's collection.
