Good Bye 2024
I’m delighted to close out 2024 with gratitude to my clients, collaborators, friends, and especially my team—Brett Palfreyman, Camille Czerkowicz, and Jimmy Merlino. We opened Mind/Matter at the Yale Peabody Museum, completed an Interpretive Plan for the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, and got through the prototyping phase of a project at Sandy Hook, NJ. I edited another Almanac, contributed writing and editorial content to Operation Match (a fascinating profile of the Harvard man behind the world’s first computerized dating service - learn more here), and got started on a catalog of the work of East Harlem artist Manny Vega. I’m delighted to share some professional highlights here and raise a glass to 2025.
Yale Peabody Museum
It was amazing to see the long-planned Yale Peabody Museum reopen last spring. My contribution was shepherding the text through the writing, editing, and layout phases. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Camille Czerkowicz.

An Almanac of New York City for the Year 2025
Each day features a current event or historic anniversary, and every week kicks off with a quote about the city. Way back in 2021, I thought finding 52 unique quotes about New York City was hard, but now I’m up to 208! Big THANK YOU to all my friends who sent pix of the Almanac at bookstores around the city — and beyond!

Mind/Matter: The Neuroscience of Perception, Memory, and Attention
My second project at the Peabody opened this fall. What a blast it was working with Kailen Rogers, Chris Norris and the rest of the Peabody team, my long-time friend and collaborator Camille Czerkowicz, curator Daniel Colon-Ramos, assistant curator April Pruitt, and exhibition designers Andy Chen and Waqas Jawaid of Isometric.
