Work.
The work I can show, and the work I can talk about. Most of the rest is behind logins and NDAs — which is the nature of building things that matter.
Case studies
Acorn
A classless CSS baseline so a site looks finished before anyone writes a single class — and the design system this whole site is built on.
Design & Identity
I drew logos before I wrote a line of code, and I never put it down — marks and identities for ventures I've built and clients I've taken on.
Simshot
A full redesign and WordPress replatform for a Meridian, Idaho firearms-training company — off an expensive, brittle site and onto something they can actually grow on.
HXC Comms
A first real web presence for Hardcore Comms — a WordPress build set up as a foundation for training, ecommerce, and whatever they grow into next.
