I presented this webinar to members of the Maryland Library Association on May 30, 2013. The idea was to cover key Twitter basics and best practices. The reviews were resoundingly positive, so I’m hoping to offer this presentation again in the future. [Twitter for Libraries from Jessica Keyes on Slideshare.] Watch the full webinar, with audio, on the Blackboard Collaborative archive.

read moreSocial Media Ambassadors
The Social Media Ambassadors program is an initiative I recently launched at the Enoch Pratt Free Library. It is an inclusive program designed to enhance diversity in digital content. In the course of my Digital Strategy Research Project, I identified early on that one of the biggest weaknesses of the Library’s social media presence was a lack of diversity in representation from across the system. Our presence has been strong, but the voice has come primarily from the Central Library. Over the years, web department staff have tried to...
read moreEvent Photos: Effervescent Dance Collective – Tendao
Kevin is a go-to photographer for the the awesome Effervescent Dance Collective, and I will sometimes second-shoot with him. The shows are challenging because the light is always low and the setting is always unusual. However, I always get giddy with excitement when I see the ethereal, strange photos that come out of these shoots. Taken February 23 at the NowChild...
read moreSocial Media Strategy 101
I gave this presentation to the Baltimore meetup group Tech & Social Change, hosted by Kate Bladow, on February 7, 2013. It offers a framework for constructing a social media strategy. I list key questions that should be answered in order to establish clear goals, accountability, metrics, and procedures. I developed this framework based on the most critical concerns at the Pratt, but I believe they can be adapted to any organization and any platform. I’m currently in the process of applying this framework to every social media...
read morePotluck Storytelling
This year we rebranded our storytelling series as Potluck Storytelling. Now there are stories AND FOOD. Total win-win. I created a new visual identity for the series that uses the new colors paired with striking photos selected by Kevin. The new logo keeps the blue circle from the old Full Circle Storytelling, but pairs it with a new potluck-y palette that reminds me of salad and casserole. Our first Potluck show was We Think We’re Normal But We’re Not: Stories About Living in Baltimore. I created this fun poster and a matching...

When I was first hired by Culinary Team Canada in early 2010 they told me that they couldn’t pay a lot up front for the website redesign, but that they would bring me with them to Germany for the Culinary Olympics in 2012. This seemed like a pretty good deal, but when I hadn’t heard anything about travel plans during 2 years of regular website updates I figured they changed their minds about bringing me. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about 6 months ago that they bought me a ticket to Erfurt! I joined the team in...
read moreBaltimore Shape Note Singing
Music has been a pretty important part of my life for as long as I can remember, and shape note singing has dominated my musical life since 2007. The attendance at the Baltimore weekly singings has flagged somewhat in the past couple of years, so we’ve decided it’s time to go to the people. As part of our campaign, I designed and built a new website, bmoreshapenote.com, designed a poster, and customized our Twitter profile. We wanted to keep the design clean and contemporary, to avoid falling into the “Old Timey” trap...
