This was a try at a new layout for a lead generation website based on skin rejuvenating products. There was quite a bit of thought put into this one as it needed to be optimized for all browsers. Since there was a large amount of graphic intensity, we made sure to use google fonts for the headers to keep optimization at an easier pace.

This website was a quick layout, there were going to be a large array of content including a custom jquery gallery and music section, but the artist disappeared. The design is strong, and the creativity taken into it mirrored the model's image, was a shame that we were unable to finalize the layout. She was about poppin' bottles so I leave you with the only song that I could find that showed her style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zutVLdApYkg

This was a quick turn around design and development website.  Loosely based off of the suburbannoize records website, the layout incorporates the artists, users, functionality with an added content by user functionality for images and music. Currently in beta, but the website is fully customized which means that a general user is capable of getting a redesign rather quickly.  I was commissioned to do this design under then contracting of MonteForbes.  Great website design and development for the 3 day deadline that was available.

Skincare is the main focus in this website. We were able to get a comprehensive layout up and running in a few weeks thanks to opencart's MVC layout.  There were quite a few pitfalls that were easily fixed due to the ability for the average front-end developer to come in and design without needing to know much about the backend code. I assisted in front-end and backend development.  The backend portion was needed for the skin condition dropdown menu which uses an admin system that allows for the client to link products based on skin conditions.  Consideration was focused on easy of use and current admin layout. Overall this was a great project that turned out great for the people involved in it's creation along with the client itself.  Nick Hammonds and Sarah Choi were both great at getting things squared away.

2011 was a busy year. This was a quick setup that had to be done with some major skills. We were able to get the website up and live just a few hours before the beginning of the event. Camera's were live and ready within a few hours before the event went live and we were able to get things running smoothly throughout the show. Great work with rxmedia.com and xfinity/comcast.

LeadGen can make a great product into an even better product. Here's a quick design that I did while working for orangestar inc. out in Emeryville, CA. The Design was based of off a white space meets easy of use design. There really was not much time to think with this one, as we needed to have it done before adtech, but overall the design and coding came great for such a quick timeline.

Broadcast advertisement has always been a mainstay since ... well since the invention of television. This was another quick turn around project with a fully functional mobile element implemented. With wordpress it did not take that long and I was able to create some custom plugins using their in-house api calls. Overall the majority of the code ended up using shortcode with custom_categories for the video content.

One day into your new job and you get a 2 day project thrown at you, without any idea what the design looks like.  You know that it's a mobile shop, and that's about it ... what do you do?  Call in the A-team and blow up the company that's putting you up to it, is the general answer, but if you have to figure it out civilized then go with magento.  That was the solution we had when we realized that a) The company could throw anything at me and I'd find a valid solution 2) I had to prove myself that I could manage a project without it falling apart i) There was a completely new coder that no one knew their skill set. Magento became the choice because mobile is already built out of the box, changing the majority of the website would be an easy css switch over, and there's added features for a just in case we needed to revert a previous build's inventory to the magento way.  Overall, 2 days of css bashing, magento module building, general grinding out got us the mobile store front we were looking for.

Security is always important with most high end realestate properties. Gatelockdown was one of those security systems that helped facilitate and organize various companies in their security issues. It is a security logging system used for gated communities, and high-rise condominiums.  This one took a month to get up and running, with a few tweaks and a major design overhaul at the end.  I was under the gun to get this one up and running before the beginning of the year, and some major logistics were missing before the big push at the end, but we were able to get things patched up which was surprising to the client. Exporting, dynamic real-time graphs, and an array of other very interesting ideas under the hood.  If you have any questions about this software please feel free to contact me and I will point you in the right direction.  As of right now, all access is limited.

These were done while working for the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council.  Fresh out of college, and fresh into ideas.  They asked for a full fledged design for their awards, and I came up with what I could.  Mind you, this was while doing print design work (which included spot checking, and spell checking :o), network administration, IT management, web development, and cookie deliveries.  Steady hand, steady head. sidenote: the silhouette used was from one of my co-workers who ended up winning top honors that year. 

This was another quick turn around ... figure out how to pull together a linkshare account into a profitable website based on fashion that you know nothing about and you get the aforementioned website.  Great design, but i'm working out the kinks on the pricing and the general advertisements.

NBC was a great project to work on. This one took the cake. NBC Universal needed a website that would distribute advertisement content through a flash development platform. Our solution? Take an existing static xml driven website and custom build a dynamic cms system that would create the xml's for the content on the fly. Flash development came a long way with this website when we created a large array of industry achievements, not only in the web development section, but also in the broadcasting and advertisement (online and offline) realm. This website allowed for NBC to display their lineups quicker because of the easy of use for advertisers to see performance ratings for shows, time slots, and generally get their feet wet without losing money. This is what a fully functional web app should look like and work, with a helpful matrix of ideas mixed in with multi-media and animation. The Buddy Group did an amazing job with this one, and I was proud to work on this one from beginning to end.
