Work

Some Favorite Projects.

Included here is a small sample of projects I've produced over the years as a professional web developer. While I am no longer interested in pursuing opportunities for which hands-on design or development would be a primary role, the experience gained from these projects has prepared me to manage every aspect of online business development, from concept to completion. In addition to the nostalgic value, I display these (now mostly outdated) projects because they showcase the evolution of web design over the years. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my role with any of the featured companies here or the projects on display below.
