In the middle of converting a client's old, Flash-only site (aka a site that doesn't work on iPhones and iPad) to a HTML/CSS based site. Converting the formerly ActionScript-powered form by using Twitter's Bootcamp CSS framework and a custom javascript (mostly jQuery) script for validation. UPDATE: view the case study
Converting a fully Flash-based website for a French financial firm to HTML and CSS. Also completely converting and integrating its static pages into a content management system. The client's new site will use HTML5 markup and, unlike the Flash version, will be fully usable on devices running iOS (e.g., the iPhone and iPad). UPDATE: view […]
Catching up on some unfinished business, including the application of speed optimizations to several websites–minified the CSS and JS, enabled GZIP compression, and added expire headers. Brought the overall weight down by ~20% on some sites and greatly improved their YSlow score. As a second phase, I'm going to review some older sites to make […]
Just switched this site's commenting system over to disqus (from a previous custom built system). A little PHP allowed me to tailor their system to my site's needs (e.g., excluding it from certain pages). All in all, it was super easy. I then went ahead and imported the site's existing comments, which took a little […]

The client is hoping to improve the look and function of the site, thereby bringing the website's branding in line with the (absolutely) spectacular nature of the property. I'm working with both low […]
CRFB wanted to emulate some of the content from their website directly on their Facebook page. I created an "app" in Facebook which pulls content from their website and displays it on a new Facebook tab, which visitors to their Facebook page now see by default. To simplify their content management workload, the new tab […]
CRFB approached me with an existing website and asked me to do some visual enhancements. First up, they wanted to feature their new goBig initiative on the homepage. They wanted something that could be temporary, but immediately catch the eyes of their visitors. After discusisng the pros and cons of various options (e.g,. pop-up windows), […]
Launched a new version of the NDTAC's Fast Facts website, which presents data and data visualizations of State education data from the Federal Title I, Part D program for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk. The Section 508 compliant website is built on a MySQL database, and uses PHP to retrieve the data […]
Developed two design comps for the forthcoming website of a photographer focused on capturing the human, social, and economic impact of micro-finance projects throughout the world.
Delivered 3 design comps for a forthcoming documentary film focused on US immigration policy called 120 Days. The comps utilized photography provided by the filmmaker, screenshots I took from the film, and some custom developed graphics and photo manipulations. An early version of the site is expected to go up in September.
