A collection of highlighted client and work projects

My sister bought an ice cream shop a couple of years ago and being who I am, I built her a web site for it. Scoopy.rocks doesn’t exist anymore, which is a bummer because it was a very attractive build using cellphone photos and a moderately customized version of StudioPress’s Café Pro theme. A real case of…

I was contracted by The Modern Firm for a short time to build out the custom responsive components to WordPress themes for their clients using their own in-house theme framework. It was modular, production-style theme building with custom styling to match the client’s existing branding and be responsive/mobile-friendly. Working with them was a great learning experience…

Matt Bliton is a musician in living in East Lansing, MI. This was a refresh of an early WordPress build – this time we redid the architecture and did a beautiful theme customization. I added integration with BandCamp and wanted to do a full ecommerce gateway, but it wasn’t really warranted. One of those great…

I was a guest lecturer at University College Dublin during the 2011-2012 and 2012-13 academic years for two courses. The first was IS20060 – Information Design. Historically this course was primarily focused on desktop publishing – covering page layout fundamentals using Adobe InDesign. I was asked to expand it to include design concepts across media…

The second course I taught was IS20030 – Social Informatics: Information in Organisations. Social Informatics is the study of information systems- including social context. This fun and under-appreciated component of information studies distinguishes itself by including and expressing value in the social constructs around where and how information is stored, transferred, and the (sometimes unexpected)…

A Harvard Law professor and author of several books, a part of President Obama’s tech transition team, a Wired Magazine contributor, and creator of the first internet holiday (One Web Day is September 22), among many other accomplishments. She’s built an amazing career advocating for addressing digital divide issues,…

This project was ambitious, and I’m proud of it despite having learned some hard lessons. This returning client had need for a unique type of LMS. The company taught in-person classes all over Texas, and was growing. So – an LMS where the classes were in-person, but class administration was done via a web portal.…

PDS is “a service provider for Courts, Prosecutors, Probation and Parole agencies providing behavior change intervention utilizing the Motivational Facilitation Method, a style of communication that moves our Participant towards change in a manner that does not inadvertently create roadblocks to the Behavior Change process.” Their web site needs included the ability to manage content…

Reality Counseling Services is a client that I landed while working for Ideal Solution. In truth I had little to do with the development of their site, and left Ideal before the full technology plan was realized. The reason I’m adding it is because I began to get some project management stripes by learning from…

Another Ann Arbor is a small local nonprofit who’s stated goals is to “provide a means of communication for the African American community in Washentaw County. This is a web site where information is shared and matters of common interest can be discussed.”I was brought on to develop community awareness and participation with the organization.…
