OVERVIEW
Unlocking New York was a 2025 multimedia project centered on the Erie Canal, featuring 34 stories told through podcasts, data visualizations, and video and photo journalism exploring the canal's history and its impact on upstate New York. For this project, I contributed to the web development of "A New Generation of Birders Tune In" and developed Wing Watch, a no-code mobile app built with Glide that used data from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and eBird to help birders track species along the Erie Canal.
Wing Watch was later recognized at the 2026 AEJMC Festival of Visual & Interactive Media and the 2026 BEA Festival of the Media Arts, earning gold and silver medals respectively.
