In recent years, Philly's Mütter Museum has faced criticism on how its vast collection of human remains came into its possession. These are just two of their stories ... One of the most challenging but rewarding stories I've ever worked on.

Last year the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. Every win on the way to the final was celebrated by @gilliedaking 's viral dance. We only had one option: Build a Dance Dance Revolution game where you hit arrows in time to the moves. #interactive #ddr #interactivedesign #editorial #editorialdesign #newsroom #newsroomdesign #philly #eagles #philadelphiaeagles #webdesign #design

One of the hardest but most rewarding stories I've ever worked on. At the start of 2025 a plane crashed into a Philly neighborhood, changing the lives of everyone in the area. This story retold five neighbors' experiences from their perspective and revisited them months later. #interactivedesign #webdesigner #philly #editorial #editorialdesign #interactive

American citizenship is cool, but have you ever registered to vote in a swing state? 🇺🇸 Completing this long, expensive and tedious process was a ridiculous, tense ride and we had it easy! I’m in awe of anyone who puts in the effort to get here in whatever way they do it, to be safe and live how they want to live. Long story short: immigrants are rad, even if you’re not married to one!

To celebrate the return of the Eagles, we worked on this weekly Eagles grid game. Every week on @phillyinqsports we set a new board to be filled with current and former eagles players. I’m terrible at, due to not understanding how the sport works or any of its history. But this was a fun one to design and build. #interactivedesign #editorialdesign #eagles

This year the @phillyinqfood Dining Guide looked a little different. The 76 is a single list of the most essential restaurants in the Philly area. I stupidly pitched a concept of neon signs to reference Reading Terminal Market. Even more stupidly, the answer was yes. @electroromantic brought the whole thing to life. #design #editorialdesign #webdesign #neon #interactivedesign #interactivestory

Wrestlemania 40 came to Philadelphia this year. Being a lifelong wrestling fan I found myself talking to a lot of wrestle-curious folks who had a lot of questions. So I decided to build this interactive chatbot where readers could ask questions on Wrestlemania and the world of pro wrestling.

Earlier this year Philly woke up to a video of a horse loose on the interstate. Taken by how much the footage looked like a video game, we (Interactives Desk at the Philly Inquirer) decided to take the next 48-hours and build a game. The result: Horse-95 #newsdesign #editorialdesign #horse #gamedesign #newsgames #interactivedesign #design #games #videogames

To celebrate Philadelphia’s movie history we challenged readers to play GeoGuesser with a slight twist. Instead of Google Street Maps, we used stills from a movies shot in Philly. The reader then has to pin point exactly where that scene was shot on location. #design #newsdesign #editorialdesign #interactivedesign #geoguesser #game #newsgame #quiz #philadelphia #philly #rocky #giraffesonabridge

For nearly 90 years, sand has brought in and dumped on NJ’s beaches to help fight erosion. We wanted to visualise just how much… Illustrations by @thomaspullinillustration #design #climatechange #newjersey #jerseyshore #newsdesign #editorialdesign #interactivedesign
