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.
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, with strong ties to the local community, and a genuine interest in connecting the general public to art.
We look forward to drawing on our extensive experience in online community-building for arts and cultural heritage organizations to help CMA extend its museum experience by making its website a rich and enjoyable destination.
Since the launch of the PhilaPlace website last December, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) has received a steady stream of stories from local residents and community members.

Since its launch at the 3rd Annual International Barcode of Life Conference at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City last November, the Connect.BarcodeofLife online community has grown to over 200 members.
Through close colaboration with the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL), Night Kitchen Interactive created the social network to facilitate communication between DNA barcoding professionals worldwide. Here is a place for those involved in the field to participate in discussion forums, share profiles, form special interest groups, blog, learn about upcoming events, and more, serving as the central hub for ongoing dialog and development in this relatively new science.
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. With a dynamic homepage, blog, and access to information on current and upcoming projects, the International Engagement site connects visitors to the many compelling NCC programs thriving beyond its walls. One such project is Recording Democracy: The Making of "We the People".

Night Kitchen Interactive is working with the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History to design and develop the Centennial website. As a permanent, commemorative online record of the museum’s proud history, the website will honor the 100th anniversary of the building, the growth of its collections, the accomplishments of its staff, and the museum’s role in promoting public education of American science and culture. The website will be designed to complement the museum’s special exhibition opening on May 29, 2010, and will help promote programs and activities related to the NMNH’s 100th celebration.
