Chinese American Museum, Los Angeles
Web design and development, 2012
I was brought into this project by the exhibit developers, THINK Jacobson & Roth. I created a web-based media component for the exhibition Origins: The Birth and Rise of Chinese American Communities in Los Angeles that allows visitors to create a living document of the Chinese community in the San Gabriel Valley. The project uses WordPress and the Google Maps API, and is displayed in the Museum on iPads. I’ve posted an account of the project’s agile design process, about which THINK’s Carla Roth commented,
“With a tight budget and a hands-on client, working with iterative prototypes was the way to go. Rather than lingering in pre-production, this allowed us to quickly make team decisions and try things out in a very real way.”
