WSA's Emerald Isle Classic
WSA needed a website to feature their tours of Ireland surrounding the Emerald Isle Classic football game between Notre Dame & Navy in 2012. I created a site that provided visitors with clear information about the tours, while also creating a clear call-to-action for them to book their place on the tour. Using responsive web design, I created a fluid site (resize your browser to see!) that adjusts the site's format depending on the user's device resolution. This means the site functions as beautifully on an iPhone, iPad or other mobile device as it does on your standard desktop. The site is no longer live, but you can view it in a development environment from the link below.

Baby Name Predictions
In 2005, in the book "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side of Everything," authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner predicted what they thought would be the 22 most popular boys' names and the 24 most popular girls' names in the year 2015. They thought they had found a pattern among the naming of children and used this pattern to make their predictions. I created an information graphic that shows how their initial guesses are panning out at the halfway point.

Harder Than War
An altered book made from the book "Harder Than War," which argues peace is harder to accomplish than war. I created the book by cutting away all but a few words to reveal the chorus from Matisyahu's song, One Day, which discusses a time when "people will say, that we don't want to fight no more, there will be no more wars, and the children will play. One day, one day".
