KQED Arts iPad App, 2012

Original iPad app for KQED Arts, built around a two-sided menu system that allowed for nearly infinite combinations of stories, media, and pathways. The experience was designed to feel fluid and dynamic, shaped around the early possibilities of tablet-native interaction for its 2012 launch.

Our Turbulent Decade, 2019-2020

A collaboration with KQED Arts journalists to create a reflective wrap-up of the 2010s, balancing editorial storytelling with motion-led interaction. The offset border animation helped frame each section with subtle movement and structure, and the project was developed in 2019 before launching in 2020.
