I'm particularly passionate about design systems, web page layout, code as a design tool, and creating beautiful and appropriate interfaces. I live and breath design but find value in life beyond the screen.
I'm helping Ryan Irelan gradually update the look of Mijingo starting with the cover art for each course track. Each cover incorporates a color and shape/pattern to help distinguish between course tracks. The website will keep the existing page layout but fonts, color and other style elements will be updated. This is a work in progress.
Over ten years ago the CSS Zen Garden is where I first started to learn CSS. I wanted to submit my own design to maybe inspire others as it did for me. The final design was inspired by some old Herman Miller advertisements and work done by Brent Couchman.
I was asked to redesign the website for Amini & Conant. A&C is a law firm based in Austin,TX. The team at A&C wanted to re-imagine the typical lawyer website experience and reach more clients with a responsive design. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Dbln and Justin Childress on this project.
A little something to help people find great places to eat and drink in Austin,TX. Collaboration with David Baker and Jonathan Bowden. David Baker created the logo and icons.
Nosh is a catering company located in Wellington, New Zealand. I worked with them to build a responsive website to showcase their offerings. Some elements of the site have changed since it was first launched but my overall vision is still intact.
Typecast conducted a typography contest during the Build conference. This was my entry which ended up winning best overall award for this quote. The entries were judged by Elliot Jay Stocks, Trent Walton, and Tim Brown.
In the past, I've worked at agencies, freelanced, and have done my time in the corporate world. I've worked with some truly amazing people and learned so much along the way. Previously I worked at GM, where I helped develop a front-end design system of interface guidelines. I've worked at a few other places, including ebay, Dell, DSW, Titliest and Cobra Golf.
As far back as I can remember I've been designing things. For the past 20 years I've been designing for the web. I approach design from the perspective of both art director and engineer. Most days I sketch, code, prototype, iterate and receive/give feedback. I continuously strive for more elegant solutions. It doesn't matter whether I'm designing for a piece of paper or a screen — every project is about consciously creating an experience for another person, and presenting it to them.
I'm always interested in freelance opportunities, so don't hesitate to contact me if you are looking to fill a spot or need help with a project.
You can find me elsewhere on the web: view my Dribbble shots, follow me on Twitter, I write code on GitHub and I take photos on Instagram. I don't post much because I'd rather hang out with my wife and three boys.
I use this site as an experimental space, trying and testing things so it might not work properly from time to time. If you have questions on how or why I did something or have tips to improve something don't hesitate to contact me.
