Sites Made for People

Hello!

I am an independent web designer and developer working and living in Portland, Ore.

Be it whole websites or user interface design, I hand-craft experiences that are user-centric, reduce friction and delight with serendipitity.

Feel free to find out more about me, who hires me, how I can help, or see some of the projects I’ve completed recently. Or perhaps you’re wondering about cost and/or what you get when you hire me. Are you interested in this website? Whatever the case, if you have any questions I encourage you to simply contact me.

This is a hand-coded website. For the last few years, I have recreated my website using intriguing new technologies as a means of stretching my skills.

If you’re into design, this one is responsive by design, and utilizes TypeKit to provide the slab serif Museo Sans, among other faces. Excluding normalize, it does not use a design framework, but instead relies upon my eye for design and a bit of Fibonacci as a guide for layout.

If you’re deep into technology, this site is a static React.js website based on Gatsby. Because it’s just as easy for me to edit a website by hand as via using a CMS, this one is static.

If you’re into both design and technology, drop me a line as there aren’t many of us out there. We should grab a pint.
