Every project I have ever done (updated!)

Back in 2018 I went through my hard drives and made a big list of every project I've ever worked on. That list remains pinned on my profile on the website formerly known as Twitter. Whew, that was five years ago? I updated the list with my current projects, so this is more or less everything I've worked on over the past 25 years, although it doesn't include workshops. The list is in alphabetical order because the dates are a bit fuzzy.

A long term Razorfish retainer client, I don't think I did any real work but I know I went to some meetings.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Previously consulted on content strategy and taxonomy in support of a redesign and replatforming to Drupal.

A very small amount of information architecture work.
