Overview
At NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study, students shape their education around the connections they want to explore. The website redesign needed to express that independent spirit while helping prospective students understand what studying at Gallatin could mean for them.
The Problem
Gallatin’s approach brings together academic freedom, close advising, and a strong sense of community. Making that experience tangible called for a site with personality and a clear path through its content. The engineering challenge was to carry an expressive visual direction into a cohesive experience across screen sizes.
My Contribution
As the Front End Engineer, I built every component for the redesigned site in partnership with Digital Pulp. I owned the translation from visual design to implementation, shaping how the experience looks, adapts, and behaves in the browser.
The work centered on preserving the character of the design as it became a working website. I developed responsive layouts and interaction patterns that held together across the site, accounting for the ways content, imagery, and available space change from one context to another.
Building the full component set meant thinking about each piece as part of the larger experience. I worked through the relationship between layout, typography, and behavior so the finished front end felt consistent while giving Gallatin’s stories room to stand out.
The Result
The finished site introduces Gallatin through its people and their individual paths. Its visual identity carries through the browsing experience, connecting the school’s distinctive approach to education with the information students need to take their next step.
