We have the pleasure of working on new and innovative projects all the time. Below is a brief description of some of our current projects.
We are proud to announce that Night Kitchen Interactive has been selected by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to redesign its main website, Monticello.org. As the only house in the United States to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Monticello attracts audiences from around the world.
In the coming months, we will be working with the Foundation to build on the success of the existing site which offers a wealth of information on Jefferson and his plantation home, and draws over 1.3 million unique visitors.
Slated for launch in Fall 2010, the website is envisioned to be a highly interactive online experience in which staff, volunteers, and global audiences can engage in a dialog about Jefferson’s ideas.
Expanding on its collaboration on the award-winning Country Dog Gentlemen interactive kiosk, Night Kitchen is working with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to create a mobile experience that will allow kids and adults to engage in a playful, interactive, and educational adventure within the museum galleries. The project will be unveiled this Fall so stay tuned for updates!
Carnegie Museum of Art has selected Night Kitchen Interactive for the redesign and development of its website. Beyond serving as a platform for audiences to experience the museum’s rich array of artwork and educational programs, this large-scale website redesign project is an opportunity for CMA to reinforce its status as a world-class museum

2009 was a busy and bustling year for us here at Night Kitchen, and we’ve been able to use our blog to keep you all up to date on what we’ve been up to! However, with the New Year dawning, we realized it was time for the Studio section of our site to reflect our latest and greatest.
In the coming weeks you’ll notice the onset of what will be a multi-phase redesign of this section of the site. Eventually, the Studio section will be a place where you will see not only what Night Kitchen as a company has been up to, but also the personal projects of our creative and passionate staff members.
In the meantime, check out our highlights reel, which highlights a selection of projects that best represent our design approach.
This fall, Night Kitchen worked with the National Constitution Center to develop a website around its International Engagement programming and the Center’s role in fostering an international dialog around the American constitutional experience.

One such project is Recording Democracy: The Making of "We the People".
