Background

Fifteen years of making websites earn their keep

I started in print design at Purdue, making posters, reports, and identity work, then moved to the web at San José State University, where I designed and built sites for the College of Engineering and student-facing programs. From there I joined SugarCRM and later ThreatMetrix, where I designed and developed the corporate site, event sites, and product portals through the company’s 2018 acquisition by LexisNexis.

Since then my work has centered on web platforms and publishing systems: sites that teams can actually operate, measure, and keep fast long after launch.

How I work

Static first, interactive where it counts

I bias toward clarity and durability: static output by default, small client-side islands with a specific job, design tokens instead of one-off values, and performance and accessibility treated as requirements rather than phases. The notes on this site document how those choices play out in practice.

This site

A working example, not a showroom

Everything here is built the way I build for clients. The colophon on this site lists the tools used for this site, and the notes explain the reasoning. Older client work lives in the portfolio.
