Updated the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) Drupal-based homepage carousel. The old carousel (designed by a third party) rarely accommodated the organization's content appropriately (insufficient space) and the design looked dated. Although I still had to work within the design constraints of the rest of their site, I designed and implemented a cleaner […]
Building a Twitter Boostrap 3-based theme for use in a Drupal 6 multi-site setup. Using the domain access module, the theme will serve content from the same database and same Drupal core used to power the main website. Administrators will be able to edit both sites within the same administrative interface. The new responsive (i.e., […]
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 […]

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.

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 […]
I originally wrote the markup for the ReadyNation website in about 2005. In web years that's the equivalent of a 300 year old home, which meant development of new features and layouts took much longer than ideal. So this week I set out to update the entire site. I leaned on my good friend, the […]
It's an unfortunate truth that some projects don't come to fruition as fast as I might hope. Despite enthusiasm on all sides–from the client, from me and everyone else involved–some projects just take a long time to get launched for a variety of reasons outside of my control. Case in point, the website that I […]
Not all organizations have the resources to upgrade to the latest technologies. But that doesn't mean they have to miss out an all of the trends. In this case, we refactored the CSS on a Drupal 6 site to provide several responsive versions including mobile (portrait and landscope) and tablet versions. Using media queries and […]

Other technologies employed include the […]
