I designed this interactive timeline for The Chauncey Bailey Project using Vuvox.com. It accompanied an Oakland Tribune story reporting that Sgt. Derwin Longmire, the lead detective assigned to investigate journalist Chauncey Bailey’s 2007 shooting, had many ties to Your Black Muslim Bakery—and several members of the bakery were suspects in Bailey’s murder. Reporters discovered Longmire had been presented with evidence that Yusuf Bey IV, the bakery CEO, was likely involved in the murder, but the detective failed to document that evidence in the case file. This timeline tracked Longmire’s many connections to the Bey family.

The Chauncey Bailey Project won two Online Journalism Awards in 2009. This timeline was one of three features submitted to the Online News Association, which cited the project’s strong “timeline storytelling techniques” in the award for best investigative journalism website.

This map, produced for California Watch, shows the top 100 carbon dioxide-producing facilities in the state, according to data released by the California Air Resources Board. Power plants and oil refineries appear to be the largest culprits. I researched and mapped the individual facilities on a Google satellite image using Mapbuilder.net. I designed custom markers to visually show the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from each facility, and calculated conversions to demonstrate the scale and impact of those emissions.

This was one of the first Flash projects I designed. The interactive chart shows which 2008 presidential candidates had fundraisers who also worked as lobbyists for foreign governments. It ran with a story published on ABCNews.com.

During the 2008 election, the Center for Investigative Reporting teamed up with National Public Radio to track independent groups pouring millions of dollars into election ads for the presidential and Senate campaigns.

I designed this Flash map for CIR, which houses streaming video ads and information about the groups spending the most money in each state. Data for each state is contained in text files, allowing for easy updating. The map acted as a portal leading to a campaign finance blog on NPR.org.
