new-York Historical society

The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s pre-eminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today. Founded in 1804, New-York Historical is the oldest museum in New York City.

Having the opportunity to work with the New-York Historical Society as an intern in the Communications department provided me with invaluable professional experience at a well-established organization.

This position allowed me the freedom to work independently on projects while also adhering to the institution's style guide and aesthetics.

Meeting periodically with the department allowed me the opportunity to work collaboratively and bring some constructive criticism to my work throughout its creation process.

In addition to assisting the department's web editor in redesigning and reformatting the Historical Society's various blogs, I was entrusted with creating collateral materials that contributed to New-York Historical's marketing and PR initiatives.

Fourth of july postcard

This holiday postcard circulated to around 8,000 homes of museum members.

Superheroes exhibit animation

The animated superhero figure was created to supplement promotional material for the New-York Historical's featured exhibit, Superheroes in Gotham.

The outreach for the Superheroes exhibit was huge, and almost always featured my animation. Through email and social media, this reached over 35,000 email addresses in addition to over 35,000 followers.

The animation can been seen in the introduction and outro of this CBS morning news segment, in addition to the Times Square advertisement found below.

As a New Yorker, seeing my work being used in all of these different ways was extremely exciting and rewarding.

Silicon City Animation

This animation was created to improve upon a static design for New-York Historical's featured exhibit, Silicon City.

(Note: the logo and general aesthetic for this exhibit were predetermined prior to my contribution)
