Exploring QR codes as artistic medium
Concocted early interactive QR experiences, evolved into other data-encoded art

Restoring digital foundation and shaping its redesign
Rescued a crumbling WordPress site and rebuilt a stable platform poised for a visual design reset

The result became the museum’s dependable digital backbone for communication, programming, and outreach, although further visual design development paused due to leadership changes.

400% of fundraising goals via masquerade ball

I created an immersive Masquerade Ball filled with art, performance, puzzles, and exploration. The result became a signature annual event, turning a creative gamble into $25k–$40k per year.
