Experience
- Custom T-shirt Quoting Tool SPAhttps://quote.marathonsportswear.net/
A single-page application running on a headless WordPress installation on the back end and the front end is built using Vue.js. The WordPress admin was built so that the client could add, remove and update products as needed very easily. The product information is available to the front end by utilizing the WordPress REST functionality.
- Through My Eyes Foundationhttps://www.throughmyeyesfoundation.org/
Through My Eyes Foundation came to me as a new non-profit organization that needed a digital presence. I designed and developed a custom WordPress website from scratch so that they could better tell their stories and communicate with their audience.
- Darr Firm WordPress Websitehttp://www.darrfirm.com/
A custom WordPress website for a local law firm. The design is atypical for a law firm and features many elegant UI features requiring custom CSS and JavaScript, as well as utilizing a modified implementation of the Gravity Forms plugin.
- Greensock Animationhttps://www.channeladvisor.com/ecommerce-strategy/brands/
The client requested a series of animations as you scroll down the page. The animations were created using Greensock and vector images. I took the Object-oriented programming (OOP) approach to this project so that each animation could be changed and edited on its own while keeping everything DRY.
