Harry J. Epstein Company

E-commerce and operations modernization

Led web, e-commerce, analytics, content, marketing, and operational improvements that helped an 80+ year-old industrial business modernize without losing its trusted voice.

What was emerging
A legacy business had public voice, customer trust, inventory knowledge, and operating habits that did not automatically translate into modern e-commerce workflows.
What became usable
Improved web, e-commerce, analytics, marketing, content, and operational systems that supported online growth while preserving the company's distinctive institutional voice.

NYC Artist Coalition / FairRentNYC

Cultural-space advocacy, coalition memory, and Commercial Rent Stabilization

As a founding member and organizer of NYC Artist Coalition, implemented and maintained campaign websites and helped build coalition memory, source maps, and coordination infrastructure for cultural-space advocacy, FairRentNYC, Commercial Rent Stabilization, and storefront stability.

What was emerging
The work involved many stakeholders, public/private source materials, legal and policy questions, city/state strategy lanes, shifting meetings, and sensitive coalition context that could easily become fragmented or overexposed.
What became usable
Recurring cultural-space meetings, public event pathways, practical safety and legal sessions, town halls, hearings, campaign actions, running minutes, action trackers, source maps, public campaign websites, and shared campaign memory.

Natural-language community infrastructure for arts and music organizers

Co-founded, co-built, and operated a natural-language community-calendar platform for DIY arts and music organizers. A July 2017 production snapshot records 1,846 users, 16,142 posts/events, and 35 city-region keys with at least 50 posts.

What was emerging
DIY organizers needed lightweight ways to distribute events and maintain community visibility across scenes without relying on one centralized editorial calendar.
What became usable
A natural-language, collaboratively editable event system that turned community vocabulary into followable keyword calendars and organizer-facing distribution workflows.
