Heartland Harvest Confections

Heartland Harvest Confections

The challenge: The client needed a fast theme for a WordPress/Woocommerce website. The client supplied the approved concept-images for the design.

The solution: I coded a lean theme that kept plugins to a bare minimum that exceeded the client’s expectations.

This was a contract project for Triple R Marketing.

AudioVisual Metadata Platform

AudioVisual Metadata Platform

The challenge: The product owner had image concepts of the application but needed a working HTML prototype for user testing and final development.

The solution: I quickly developed a working HTML prototype based on the graphics using bootstrap and jquery.

Rights Management Database

Rights Management Database

The challenge: Indiana University Libraries owns millions of items. They needed a system to approve these items for sharing and to avoid any copyright issues.

The solution: Working with a librarian, copyright lawyer, and a dev team we created an application for doing just that.

  • Card sorting, wireframes, and A/B split testing
  • Hand-coded semantic HTML, Rivet CSS and jQuery
  • Visit the prototype
Gnarly Tree

Gnarly Tree Sustainability Institute

The challenge: The client liked the look and feel of the existing website, but the WordPress theme was built using a lot of plugins, slowing it down, and making it nearly impossible to update without a technical background.

The solution: I designed and developed a new WordPress theme that significantly sped up the site and kept the plugins to the bare minimum (I hate the majority of plugins that I run into).

This was a contract project for Triple R Marketing.

New search UI Indiana Libraries

Indiana University Libraries Search Results

The challenge: The product owner wanted to simplify the search results page. The previous version used tabs and a 2 column layout, making it harder to navigate and clunky on mobile devices.

The solution: I ended up sketching up some variations, developed a quick working HTML prototype. The prototype isn’t much different from the live website.
