This site is small but awesome. There’s not much going on here in the way of content, but the animation that transitions between pages is so unique that it will have you clicking back and forth between the three pages.

Trussway Website
The Trussway website project elevated the Trussway brand to the next level and helped to establish them as a leader in their industry. On the Home page, we start with a full screen animated “hero” graphic that has the appearance of slow motion video but is actually build from still images that I created layers from and animated them to look like live action video. The site also features multilingual support for English and Spanish.
This project was contracted thru Skyhook Interactive.

This project is the recruiting website for the Alaska Air Group. They wanted to push the boundaries of their typical brand so I used some of their existing brand elements while introducing bold, oversized headings, ample spacing between elements, and a modular, flat graphic treatment that gives it a fresh and youthful vibe.
I created the site to be flexible and have sections easily moved around and repurposed so that the team at Alaska could easily maintain the site on their own. When I handed off the final product, it included a “reusable modules” document that showed each section, or block, that was available, how to use it, and why type of content it could contain.
Another exciting feature is that the site is fully accessible for people with disabilities. I designed and developed the site to be WCAG 2.0 compliant.

Global bio venture company Macrogen rebranded as Psomagen and this new website was built for their USA corporation to highlight the new visual direction and new name. I build this site using WordPress and chose a page builder that the client would be able to use to easily update their own content.

This WordPress website sells over 100 high performance bicycle tool products. The store is powered by WooCommerce and features unique enhancements such as a custom gallery of product images, custom product tabs, and product filters. The site design was initially based off of an existing theme and then customized to match the Prestacycle brand. The project was sub-contracted to me through Skyhook Interactive.
Viewpoint Dual Recovery Website
This WordPress website leverages an existing theme that was customized to match the Viewpoint brand’s visual guidelines. I was sub-contracted by Skyhook Interactive to do the design and development.
Alaska Airlines Letter Animation
Ten “brand phrases” were illustrated for Alaska Airlines by artist Jessica Hische. The “Let’s Go” illustration was part of my mockups for the Alaska Airlines jobs website, in which I chose to have the letters animate in. This animation was meticulously hand-crafted and expresses the inviting, smile-inducing voice that Alaska is developing for their recruiting efforts.
Cannafyl Online Store
This online CBD store was built with WordPress and uses WooCommerce for the e-commerce functionality. I chose lifestyle photography for each product that would emphasize how the product would affect the lives of would-be buyers. On the product pages, I added a custom module to the WooCommerce template that allows the client to add text and imagery above the product image and description, thus reinforcing the lifestyle marketing efforts. The project was based on a template that I customized with Cannafyl branding and was subcontracted thru Skyhook Interactive.
Microsoft Azure Tutorials
The Azure team at Microsoft needed a simple way to showcase the benefits of a complicated and robust software offering so we created a series of 5 short instructional videos. Contracting with Metia, I worked with the Microsoft and Metia teams to:
- Secure voice over talent,
- Choose music
- Create storyboards
- Synchronize video screen captures
- Generate captioning (open & closed), and
- Ensure consistency of graphics and animations
