A custom WordPress theme and plugin for a medical job-placement firm. Involved some WordPress reusable block shenanigans, advanced filtering, and heavy consideration of the authoring process, since numerous jobs are posted manually every day.

In a fit of nostalgia sometime in the late aughts or early 2010’s, I bought this domain with no clear idea of what I might do with it. So it sat dormant for about a decade, until early 2024 when I decided to take a few hours and bring some silly to the internet.

Tech stack: HTML, CSS
Designer: Me, obviously. Clearly no professional designer touched this mess.
Working with Studio Rover, I created a custom WordPress theme and custom plugin for an overhaul of the 3G website. This included faceted search, multiple custom post types, gated forms, and a custom design implementation.

Intuit’s Prosperity Marketplace is an internal shop for employees and vendors. I was contracted by Studio Rover to build a design system and flexible API to hand over for full integration with Intuit’s internal team. There were some unusual problems to solve and some finicky design touches to execute with CSS that made the build a lot of fun.

I built a pair of React applications to illustrate the two core offerings of this chemical services company, which “transforms liquids into dynamic vapors that enable innovations in semiconductor and adjacent markets.” As one does. Using React, ThreeJS, and two sets of over 285 chemical structures, I was able to generate three-dimensional animations representing the reactivity of water and hydrogen peroxide on those 285+ precursors. I like to say I made spinning chemical pictures, but I’m told that’s not exactly accurate.

When 8Minute rebranded to Avantus, they approached Studio Rover for help with their digital transformation. I was then subcontracted to build the website. To keep things simple and fast, we settled on Sanity as the headless CMS choice and Remix for the front- and back-end framework. The final result is a very fast marketing site with the power and reactivity of a single page application.

As part of the team at Turn Agency, I helped create a Storybook-based design system and led the conversion of the design system into WordPress blocks. I also developed the most versatile and, frankly, ridiculous page hero component of my career. I am both proud and ashamed of that beast.

Both during and after my tenure at Turn Agency, I was the sole maintainer of the Spirion marketing site, a WordPress theme we inherited from another agency. Over the course of four years, working with our designers and Spirion’s marketing and legal teams, we overhauled nearly all of the site, making it faster, more efficient, and improving the UX as much as possible.

For the Developer Group at Intuit’s 2018-2019 Small Biz Hack hackathon event series, Turn Agency was tasked with creating a series of microsites to support the year-long calendar of events. Each site housed practical info, handled ticketing, and didn’t suck to look at without breaking any of the strict brand guidelines we were working within.

I led the frontend development on this project, which was Turn Agency’s first One Good Turn fellowship, an annual 1-year pro bono partnership with an Oregon-based non-profit. We moved the site from WordPress to Statamic, built a Storybook-based digital design system, and completed a brand new helpful, good-looking site.

This was a fun, small project for a photography contest site. The design leaned heavily on the gorgeous images, which made it a really easy build. There were some cool layouts and fun CSS tricks employed to match the designs, which was a treat unto itself.

During my time as the Frontend Practice Lead at Connective DX, I led the frontend architecture and implementation on this Avista Utilities re-platforming project. This involved a complete redesign of both the marketing and account/logged-in sites, a new design system, and a bunch of prototyping. To be honest, it was mostly forms. A lot of forms. So many forms.
