Cultural systems for museums, nonprofits, and artists

For 20+ years, I’ve built digital experiences for museums, nonprofits, and cultural institutions. Interactive exhibitions, accessible websites, and documentation platforms that connect visitors and drive mission impact.

My work focuses on how cultural work is seen, experienced, and preserved: from nonprofit storytelling systems to museum interaction layers and live performance documentation.

Built on deep understanding of cultural institutions

Technology should serve your mission, not complicate it. Every design decision reinforces what matters.

Tight budgets. Volunteer teams. Legacy systems. I thrive designing within real limits, not pretending they don’t exist.

Diverse audiences. Multiple languages. Different abilities. These aren’t afterthoughts—they’re built in from day one.

I’ve worked with some clients 10+ years. That depth allows us to understand actual needs and build accordingly.

Wei has collaborated with me on various web-based projects for more than ten years. My production company works primarily in the arts and medicine. Wei has designed and administered sites on subjects as diverse as disparities in child abuse reporting, diabetes, palliative care in Africa, and medical humanities.

Wei is a valued collaborator with multiple talents. He is an artist, photographer, and designer who works well with clients and production people. Above all, he is a kind and generous man who is curious about the world around him.

I had the pleasure of working with Wei on numerous projects at Greater Than One.

Details details details. Wei has an incredible attention to detail which is funneled through a very particular kind of erudition and problem solving. As an example — there were numerous technical challenges our team was faced with when developing new and exciting online rich media content. Because of Wei's technical know-how and keen workarounds we were able to create a meaningful and robust branded experience, while staying within the limitations of budget and format.

Wei is an incredible asset to any team, and one is simply humbled by working with him.

Wei is one knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated tech lead I’d worked together for 2 years at GTO. He is a tech expert with a creative design mind set, who communicates and collaborates well across the team. He see the big picture, everyone’s point of views while provides his own takes and solutions. His works are detailed oriented quality and picture perfect as final product, which safeguard designers’ original intent. Well respect to Wei, and look forward to work with him again.

Wei is a graduate school colleague who I have supervised as a freelancer. He is a very sharp creative guy who is driven, meticulous, and conscientious - I wouldn't hesitate in hiring him again. He has a unique combination of great design, programming, and conceptual chops. After many years of freelancing he took a FT gig and has been focusing on web dev and tech work -- it's no surprise to me that he's done well with that focus. Wei is also an extraordinarily talented photographer, knowledgeable re lighting and videography, and a fine partner in anything related to food. A really multi-talented guy!

He is multi-talented, very creative, incredibly quick at learning anything new, and a great team member. Plus he has an amazing attitude and a lot of energy for getting things right. I would definitely recommend Wei.

Wei created the logo for two of our brands JC Fab Lab and Towhee Co. And he designed and built the website for jcfablab.com. Wei is a tremendously insightful and perceptive designer - he worked closely with us to deeply understand our brands and their relationship to each other. A pleasure to work with and simply brilliant work. Highly recommended.
