Digital Weekly iPad Application
Project to take an existing digital product (PDF) and build an interactive HTML5-based web application, focusing phase 1 on the iPad only. Application uses the existing workflow, using an XML export from InDesign to populate the content in each issue.
August Home Publishing
Cuisine at home Magazine
This was a big redesign for a site with a lot of existing content which meant a lot of custom PHP/MySQL to pull content from their databases, and .htaccess and RegEx work to pretty up the links and redirect the old locations to the new.

Snyder Home Solutions
The client was originally focused on landscaping but transitioned into remodels and other interior work, so I was hired to create a new identity and website. I wanted a simple interface with a cutaway technical illustration to showcase all the areas of the home the business specialized in.

Heroic Ink Tattoo
They wanted something that would be really easy to update, so I built the frame on Wordpress, then did some work with PHP to pull photos from a directory to limit the need to even get to the Wordpress dashboard.

The Redefined Home
A full CMS wasn't needed for this interior design business, but I did build an admin section to maintain their portfolio using PHP/MySQL.

I like to call myself a designer/developer.
I like good design, easy-to-follow code, and fun illustration.
I don't like unnecessary flash or chocolate.
