Who is This Guy?

I’ve been designing, building, updating, working with clients, working with teams, and all around, making websites happen since 2010.

I’ve seen a lot of fads come and go in that time. I’ve also seen some trends turn into standards too. The great things about working in this field aren’t all the buzzwords or the latest frameworks; it’s the people and the ever-changing challenges.

I work with design, UX, UI, and front-end development. I love making websites easy to use and look really neat.

Skills and Languages

UI Design

Fluent in Ai, Ps, and paper and pencil. My original passion was fine art, and I received a BFA in 2000. I realized what I loved about art was the unique way it communicates, directs, and organizes. Now I love user interface design.

UX Design

Before the term UX existed, we’d been doing UX design with websites, clients, and users. Thankfully, it’s now a defined process given the attention it needs and deserves. Good user experience doesn’t happen by accident!

HTML & CSS

Because of the eleven years of experience I’ve had with these two markup languages, I can comfortably say I’ve mastered their ever-evolving techniques, tricks, and otherwise tomfoolery.

JavaScript

It started with JavaScript, then jQuery, and now we are back to vanilla JavaScript. I can’t claim to know this beast as well as HTML and CSS, but JS is definitely no stranger to me. I couldn’t have survived all these years making websites without some level of mastery here.

PHP

I started out early on as a Drupal developer and then moved to a smorgasbord of other CMS’s all of which are written in PHP. I’ve picked up a thing or two and can write a function or loop through an array with the best of them.

CMS

WordPress and Drupal are kings, but that didn’t stop me from also building in Craft, Modx, Shopify, BigCommerce, WebFlow, Squarespace… Did I forget one? Probably.
