Launched the website for 935 Lies, a new book by best-selling author Charles Lewis. The fully mobile responsive site clearly drew inspiration from the book's wonderful cover design. It makes an impression by using strong typography and minimal graphics. The custom webfont integration was done using the myfonts.com service. Otherwise, I used many of my […]
I use Twitter Bootstrap for almost everything these days. Its built in components typically cover 90% of any job's needs, at least if you're willing to make some adjustments. For example, it comes with a an easy to implement and manipulate carousel. However, their carousel is only suited for images or images with captions. It […]
New Carbon Footprint Calculator for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). This PHP-based tool, designed to let users calculate the carbon emission impact of their life and behaviors, utilizes a bunch of AJAX, some neat jQuery elements, and several other technologies to create a clean, user-friendly and personal experience. It was designed for […]
For a client's website form, I needed some javascript to count the number of characters entered on a particular form field. In addition, I wanted to alert the user about how many additional characters they could add before reaching the input's limit. I found a short snippet on JS fiddle and improved it for use […]
After manually coding and managing "states" for two or three prototypes (e.g., public users vs logged-in users), I decided to heed DRY — don't repeat yourself. Introducing Permit.js. It's a jQuery plugin that makes building interactive, multi-state prototypes for websites and apps easy. I know I'm going to be using it on my own projects […]
I've posted a new case study about the work I did for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) Make an Impact project. On behalf of one of their corporate clients, I designed and developed a pledge application/website. The site allowed their partners's employees to pledge to change a variety of actions to modify […]

This 9-month project entailed a complete information architecture overhaul; development of a fully integrated system to support content management, association/membership management, event management, and payments; and design implementation of an entirely new responsive/mobile-friendly HTML5 and CSS3 user interface. Other technologies employed include the […]
The 120DaysMovie.com website is for a documentary film by Ted Roach. Originally designed and developed nearly two years ago, It was essentially put on ice while the film production was being completed. Even though web technologies and design aesthetics seem to change at the speed of light, I'm happy with how the site turned out […]
I've got a new site coming out for a documentary filmmaker — well an old site that was on hold for almost 2 years — that has some background audio (aka "soundtrack") enabled via the SoundManager2 javascript API. The site also has a trailer video (of course), so I had to take advantage of the […]
Performing a major code rewrite of NDTAC's Fast Facts as part of their annual data update. Previous versions relied heavily on MySQL data requests to render the site's Google Chart / Visualization API-based charts, as well as supporting data tables. With the new version, I've moved to loading the necessary dataset into an associative array […]
