This project focused on research in self-transcendence to advance understanding of the interrelations of virtue, happiness, and the meaning of life. Housed at the University of Chicago, the 28 month project (extended twice) was funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

As Associate Director, Communications for this project, I created the brand, logo, style, and digital and print communications within communications guidelines at the University of Chicago. The website became the main platform for the general public and those in academia from around the world, to interact with our project and work of our scholars. The site was also a source for live-streaming, videos, papers, two podcasts, a blog, as well as online registration-driven events, and graduate seminar application software.

The site (made with Drupal) was fully responsive on all platforms, underscored with Google analytics, search engine optimized, and supported by a list serves and lively social media presence that I implemented and managed.
