I worked closely with the filmmakers of this show, Nathan Dappen and Neil Losin, to obtain all footage and clearances needed. I also created an animated linguistics graphic for the final show.
SEAL Dog
Working at Smithsonian on SEAL Dog was an incredible opportunity to learn about military working dogs. I met and worked closely with a former Navy SEAL and his trained german shepherd, Chopper. We filmed at military locations, interviewed military personnel and gathered extensive footage. I coordinated production for our off-site producer and ensured that the process went smoothly.
NEON
When Science decided to publish a feature story about the National Ecological Observatory Network, I worked with the team to create a comprehensive visual presentation strategy for the story. The result was a collection of still images, time lapse footage, interviews and footage of the Front Royal, Virginia location. See the full online presentation HERE. (Photo by Trevor Frost)
Data Stories
As the producer of the first annual Data Stories video contest, I worked closely with the Chief Digital Media Officer at Science magazine to develop a data visualization video contest. I coordinated with many departments within Science to define contest parameters, create official rules, develop the contest web page, and advertise the contest in print and online.

Vault
I worked with a small team at Science Magazine to design the first digital asset management system. We gathered information from various groups at Science, created wireframes and worked closely with the developers to create a user-friendly web interface. We tested our product and updated and adjusted the design until it worked for the users. Vault now holds thousands of published assets from Science magazine and has improved workflows throughout the organization.
