Standard Hour is a guest lecture series featuring creatives we admire in and around our community, hosted by Standard Issue. I developed the concept and then executed the programming—from guest selection to event production to marketing and graphic design for the series. Playing off of the idea of a ‘standard hour’, the branding for the series utilized ‘standard time’ time stamps.

I also hand-coded a complimentary website (with HTML/CSS/Javascript) to host the transcripts of every Standard Hour talk for those who were unable to attend the event. The website features a playful clock homepage and a utilitarian layout with zero to minimal editing to maintain the integrity of the original conversation.
