Why Richmond Is Awesome
Community site for Richmond, VA.
Created using Avada template, WRIA features many custom elements such as podcasts, events, and more! Very customized via CSS and media.
The Glaser Group
Realtor group in Richmond, VA.
Originally a SquareSpace site, I created a completely custom UI/UX using the DSB. Top ranking, custom software, extensive ad campaigns.
Orlan Analytics
Tableau data-scientist website.
I created a logo, cleaned up the design, made the text more consistent, and changed the vital copy (video overlay, buttons, etc.).
Evoclutch
Gaming community site for Evolve.
EvoClutch was a planned gaming community for Evolve. It linked with Steam to provide matchmaking services for tournaments. Unfortunately, the game tanked.
CSS Monster
A logic-based style abbreviation system.
The CSS Monster is a rapid prototyping tool. It uses logical classes to (in many cases) eliminate the need to enter a style sheet. It's goal is somewhat similar to other framework libraries (such as Bootstrap), but Monster focuses more on modularizing the staples of UI design for greater control and flexibility on the fly.
Reviews API
Custom review aggregator.
A custom review aggregator that replaced a $250/mo service. Uses OAuth 2.0 to pull reviews from multiple sources, store in database, serve in front via lazy loading.
Bootstrap
Bootstrap "demo" site.
A satirical website poking fun at the thousands of similar-looking websites. I mean it's a website, but BORING!
Promethean Politics
Political site with many pages.
Built from the ground up (using DSB) to promote ideas in Ways To Fix America and create a community of activists.
Wix ADI
WIX demo site.
Wix released their new "AI Design" editor and I like to stay on top of what's out there. It's nice for quick sites but nothing special. You'll eventually have to switch to the standard editor for advanced things and can never switch back.
Ways To Fix America
Political website promoting a book.
Ways To Fix America promotes a book I wrote in 2020 called "Solutions". It's a simple site that lets you buy and/or download the book/audiobook.
CIR Lighting
Commercial lighting eCom store.
The owners of CIR Lighting worked hard on their website. I redesigned the header, footer, and instituted a style guide to keep things consistent.
Green River
Commercial construction company.
This was a huge site that took place over 11 months. The site was redesigned from top to bottom and had a custom content management system for owner edits.
3D Baby
A framework for fast 3D websites.
3D Baby is built on top of the Babylon.js Web GL framework. It is essentially a top level API, handling requests to the BABYLON JS object. It reduces complexity while adding numerous useful features and methods.
Database Manager
An easy-to-use database management tool.
The DBM is just what it sounds like - a database manager. This software works silently as an API or in full bloom as a nice GUI to make changes to the database a breeze.
Sassy
A utility library to make SASS more powerful.
Sassy is utility library for SASS/SCSS that adds essentially functionality. Includes a built in debugger for unit-testing custom functions.
Knoxville Web Design
Landing page on old site.
Meant to be a landing page for SEM campaigns, I need to replace the image with something brighter and re-work the content a bit. It works well for SEO, which is the only reason it's still live.
Silas Jones Logo
A sleek circular logo.
Made for a musician, used on branding materials such as apparel, prints, and videos.
Barley Town
A logo concept.
Commissioned by a band that split before it's use.
CDI Logo
A difficult logo.
Created in Illustrator and adapted for 3D, this 4 color logo took significant effort due to the splines in the C and D.
File Manager
A user-friendly file management system.
Once again, just like it sounds: it can run as a silent API or full on GUI, and it handles file operations.
Promotional Video
A short promotional video.
Made to promote multimedia services.
Promotional Video
A short promotional video.
Includes a custom soundtrack. Made to promote my first company when I began offered multimedia services.
Haunted Corn Maze
A promotional video sample.
Created as a low-bitrate sample to encourage the sell of editing services.
Particle Writer
Experiment with CSS clipping.
This was just a fun project I found based on an existing code pen. I modified the particles to match my site and the given use.
Admin Panel
A powerful, portable site management system.
The Admin Panel is a powerful, portable interface for editing websites via a GUI (Graphic User Interface). The Admin Panel can be docked for editing on the fly or as a standalone application linking to all others.
Gridr
A simple, flexible CSS grid system.
Simple, intuitive CSS grid systems with minimal fuss.
BLISS Editor
A robust WYSIWYG content management system.
The BLISS Editor is a robust WYSIWYG editor built on top of the CSS Monster rapid prototyping tool. Honestly, I've more or less retired this thing for now. It's a money pit (well, labor pit), and I've added options for other popular editors as plugins.
I've worked on over 280 projects, large and small.
