Library Kiosk System

This is the kiosk system I designed as an interface and selection tool for in-person visitors checking out books at a mobile art reference library currently traveling the country. It was built using Ruby on Rails, and allows visitors to the mobile library to select the art book they'd like to view based on their preferences (a series of options on the screen); the system then communicates this selection to the iphones of "runners" who then retrieve the books the visitor has selected straight from the Library stacks.

Brooklyn Art Library Store

The Brooklyn Art Library is the physical extension of Art House Co-op. It houses a permanent collection of artists sketchbooks (numbering in the 10,000s), as well as sells vintage ephemera, antiques, books, and lifestyle goods. The space speaks for itself, but the problem was allowing folks across the country or world to experience the interesting aspects of the Library from afar, and getting the store's goods into their hands. So in 2011, I rebuilt and redesigned the online version of the Brooklyn Art Library. This ecommerce project required me to integrate the backend framework already in place — HTML, CSS and Javascript — with Lightspeed (an third-party ecommerce system) built in PHP. The goal was to create a seamless user experience on the site, promote the sale of art supplies and paper goods, while at the same time reflecting the vintage, tactile feel of the real store in New York.

Arthouse Project Pages

The Art House Projects page serves as an index for all community art projects the company runs. It presents projects both past and present through image and text blocking, as well as dynamically changing values such as participant number (which changes as more people sign up for each one). Built to accommodate a wide variety of different projects, this dynamic webpage also allows Art House Projects managers (non-programmers) to edit the content of each as need determines. The page was coded in HTML, CSS and Javascript, and the site was built in Ruby on Rails. It can be found here.
