Web apps/sites

HTML, CSS, Javascript
The site you’re on right now was manually coded and then published via GitHub. For more information, see Colophon.

Tic Tacs + Toe
HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Respectable sources advise against putting Tic Tac Toe in your portfolio, but my version shines with actual Tic Tacs, a toe (not my own!), a fully responsive grid, terrible puns, and expressive avatars.

CMS projects
Rad Power Bikes Help Center
Zendesk, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Photoshop, Illustrator
Contributed various articles (writing, editing), layout (including custom CSS) as shown on in the Rad Power Bikes section of my writing/editing page. Worked with third party vendor and in-house specialists to ensure a smooth, script-driven transition to a new template, including:
- taxonomy and structural overhaul of existing content
- meticulous mapping of exisiting content structure into new structure
- custom CSS and Javascript to ensure legacy formatting and content would function properly post-transition
Note: Rad Power Bike’s Help Center has since migrated to an yet another new platform with a new CMS, so what you see here is what I worked on, not the current version.
