I was tasked with completely re-writing the code base for Madura Microfinance in one day. They had recently received the new design and code, but needed to improve its overal performance and optimization for certain displays. I used Twitter Bootstrap as my base and punched it out on a Sunday afternoon. I also provided several […]
Completed the full, initial prototype for the forthcoming redesign and redeveloped National WIC Association website. The prototype was built using HTML5 and CSS3 from the Twitter Bootstrap framework, and consists of approximately twenty pages with ten unique templates. The prototype was based upon the initial information architecture analysis that I performed, as well as a […]
Developed the information architecture and an initial working prototype for a forthcoming Android-based crowdsourcing and survey app. The prototype, which works on nearly any 320 pixel width device (including the iPhone), uses HTML, CSS, and jQuery to simulate effects that could be included in the native Android app. The app's user interface design (UI) and […]
Built a quick working user interface prototype for ReadyNation.org for a new, forthcoming section of their website that will feature business-early childhood education partnerships. I used Twitter Bootstrap to develop the prototype.
Applied responsive web design (RWD) techniques to ReadyNation.org using media queries. The entire site is now optimized for both desktop browsers, as well as for mobile browsers on smart devices like Android phones and the iPhone.

Designed and developed a new tool for CRFB's website: the Corporate Tax Reform Calculator. It builds off the design aesthetic of another tool that I previously developed for them (the Deficit Reduction Plan Comparison Tool). The client delivered the calculator's model in Excel, which was translated to javascript for the online tool. Most of the […]

To reflect these updates, which included adding Facebook and Twitter to their outreach efforts, I worked with them to revise a few of their website's main pages. The more significant changes are on […]
Designed and coded a custom HTML e-mail template for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions' (C2ES) Make An Impact campaign. They supplied a banner image and some general specifications and I took it from there. After gaining acceptance for the design comp, I used HTML, CSS, and MailChimp's own markup to create the custom […]
Performed an initial performance audit of TripTuner.com. Reviewed several website optimization areas including HTTP requests, code simplification, file combining, minification, and compression. Provided the development team with a list of critical optimization tasks including steps to optimize the site's CSS, javascript (JS), and images.
Wow–this was website #3 this week. I'm tired. But, it was great to get this one up for my client, Charles Lewis, a best-selling author, journalist, professor, and founder of the Center for Public Integrity (among other things). We started working on it a few year ago and due to his very, very busy schedule, […]
