Scrolling through the story creates waypoints where readers can stop and return to the same section.

An interactive hub built in Svelte for digital and print stories about conspiracy theories in America featuring a mix of canvas and SVG animations that lead to a secret 3D timeline.

Developed microservices (data fetcher & automated screenshots) using AWS Lambda for dozens of live primary and election results embeds and synchronized updating graphics on Apple News. By relying on a serverless infrastructure, we covered the midterm election for pennies while updating multiplatform graphics by the minute.
