Green Cars in the New York Times

An ongoing project with the Union of Concerned Scientists just got a write up on the New York Times’ auto blog.

Spring Cleaning

Spring has sprung, so I’ve dusted off some recent work and added it to my technical illustration and infographics portfolios. Lots more to come—stay tuned!

While watching the program one day, I noticed something weird about their forklift — it moved [...]
