In Spring of 2021, Al Fresco: Resilience in New York City was first conceived by Standard Issue in response to New York City’s Open Streets Policy. Featuring hundreds of photos of outdoor dining structures and ad hoc public design that was born from Covid-19 regulations, the limited print run publication was then translated into a website to be more easily shared.

Hand-coded in HTML and CSS, the website also featured with more elaborate jQuery functions for some "automation" of the overall data-entry and dynamic "branded" animations. Designed in collaboration with Tim Zarras.
