Working with RR Donnelley’s in house design team and Verizon’s digital team to develop a microsite that would seamlessly integrate an interactive version of the Verizon annual report. I used Bootstrap framework to help ensure visual and functional aesthetic were consistent across desktop and mobile devices to meet branding guidelines and existing styles. I timely executing project deliverables to meet benchmarks and deadlines. Microsite was ADA compliant.
At Peaceful Media I was hired to developed a custom WordPress theme and plug-in(s) to give the client a revitalized look, and optimize performance in both the front and back end, allowing for not only a better visitor experience, but it also streamlined content management for the site owner. In my daily tasks I utilized HTML5, CSS3/SASS, jQuery, and PHP to customize and consolidate the CMS content to deploy site wide in multiple locations. I used a Node based workflow consisting of Grunt as a task runner and Sass as a CSS pre-processor along with other NPM modules for tasks and optimizations.
At Brady Corporation I worked in an agile environment to create responsive interfaces for two high volume enterprise level eCommerce websites built on Magento and our proprietary CMS platforms. I helped maintain, troubleshot, and developed responsive reusable code to help facilitate new features on legacy sites, while at the same time preparing them for the transition to future platforms.
MacMD contacted me to create a simple straight to the point site to replace their old Flash site. They wanted an extremely mobile friendly site keeping the page count to a minimum with ability to edit all content (colors, images, and backgrounds). Using WordPress I built a custom theme utilizing Bootstrap framework to accomplished just that. While this site is currently live we are in the process of still adding new features… So I guess this is kinda a work in progress.
While working at Glantz Design, Hagerty Consulting an emergency management consulting firm approached us to completely overhaul their site. Working with their IT and design departments, and our designers I was able to take the wireframes and layouts and hit the ground running. As a WordPress specific shop I built a custom fully responsive Bootstrap theme allowing them to edit all content with the ability to sort and filter their case studies.
While working at Glantz Design we were approached to design and develop a simple one page informational site to help promote an upcoming comic book with the ability to update in the future that would facilitate sales.

Aluminati Guitars wanted a site to showcase and sell their custom hand built aluminum guitars. Some of the features they wanted included: The ability to edit copy, the ability to add new guitar models, parallax home page, shopping cart, and a blog. After we finalized a design we decided on using WordPress for the blogging capabilities, and the fact that they already had a WordPress site. I built them a custom Bootstrap theme utilizing ScrollMagic.js to create a parallax home page and Cart66 plugin for the shopping cart.
While working at Modern Luxury a marking campaign was created to help introduce two new Blackberry devices on the Verizon network. With the help of celebrities and a charity of their choosing we pit them against each other to help them win $10,000 for their charity. This campaign ran across three major cities: Los Angeles, San Fransisco, and San Diego. Each celebrity used social media to drum up the votes. The site was built in WordPress with a custom theme that was adaptive for mobile devices, along with a separate custom database for voting. The submission form to collected the data in a mysql database, and later the votes were tallied and the winner was announced.
While at Modern Luxury Wells Fargo wanted to run a campaign much like Verizon’s “Game Changers”. This time the design celebrities used social media to entice users to submit photos of a room in their house that was in need of an “overhaul” to win $2,500 towards a revival project with one of the designers. Again, we built a custom WordPress theme to handle the site, and a custom entry form that users could enter the sweepstakes that was connected to a separate MySql database.
