smithsonian Office of public AFfairs
On contract, assistant to Smithsonian si.edu webmaster for launch of a revamped website. We helped design and maintain the high-traffic Smithsonian webpage, giving me a rare overview of the Institution and the thrill of working out of the Castle building (in the room where the National Academy of Sciences began).
Working with Smithsonian developers, I initiated the Year In Collections series, bringing together art and historic objects to give the accurate flavor of select years, in support of the One Smithsonian Initiative and Open Access.
