20th Anniversary
WIRED celebrated its 20th anniversary by publishing over 70 articles of people, companies, and ideas that defined the past two decades. The information architecture and UI were designed to allow users to find entries in a number of ways, while on the backend, a workflow was established allowing a smooth workflow between editors, designers, and the engineering team.

WIRED’s feature on bike messengers was one of the online publication’s first photo essays. Designed as premium content, the digital spread ushered in more creative layouts than standard blog posts or photo slideshows.

Game Interface
CUTTHROAT CAPITALISM THE GAME. As a companion piece to their in-depth look at the piracy off the Somalian, WIRED published a game, Cutthroat Capitalism, where users could pursue the role of pirates, testing their own negotiation tactics. Working with a writer and game designer, we worked through the story's structure, design elements, and research data to restructure the print piece into a game. The game received accolades for its ability to engage and teach.
