Projects
-
I decided to redesign the UI/UX for the Axe DevTools extension. This extension provides amazing value for finding accesisbility issues, but the interface and experience have some issues that I thought I would use as a conceptual project.
-
A tool I designed and built in Next.js that helps with auditing and scoring the accessibility of sites and applications. I use this almost daily. It uses markdown files to store the site data, so it doesn't require any type of database connection.
-
Every year I participate in the MSAI Summer Arts program where I teach a number of classes, such as Illustration and Graphic Design. I also make the yearly posters and brochures for the program.
-
I started an accessibility blog last year to work a bit on my creative writing and get up to speed on building things in Next.js
North American Box Lacrosse League Redesign
A friend of mine needed a redesign of the NABLL website. I did the redesign in Figma and he is working on the development.
-
I worked with Art in Odd Places (AIOP) from 2011 to 2017, and came back for an encore in 2019. I love this movement and especially the people that volunteer for it. Ed Woodham allowed me total agency in the art direction during my time at AIOP. We were a Webby Honeree in 2013.
A few more things.
A little about me.
I am a proactive manager and leader in UX and Design with an extensive technical background. I have outstanding managerial and leadership skills to guide a department to attain superlative results in user interface design and development. I am knowledgeable of team motivation and stimulating creativity and production. I can hold my own in front-end design and full-stack development, applicable to any area of the workflow, including research, branding, design mockups, prototyping, back-end schemas and development, front-end development, usability testing.
My hyper focus is in accessibility because using the web is a universal right. I am available for providing a consult if you need to see how your site or app holds up.
What's this site?
I built this in SvelteKit so I could get some experience with the framework, as I was hearing good things. I wanted to explore some conceptual design ideas, along with manipulating theme state, so I decided it would be fun to design different themes based on the same structure, like we used to do back in the day with css zen garden.
This is a work in progress, so expect bugs and some quirky non-responsive states at times. The idea is to continue to add theme genres and push what's possible with the state management of SvelteKit. Hopefully it brings a little levity to your day. Sit back and have fun. Thanks for stopping by.
