Always in-progress
Feels like this website has been decades in the making. Okay okay, I would say that's certainly an exaggeration. So probably more like... a good five maybe six years or thereabouts. Anyways, thank you for your patience if you've actually been patiently waiting.
Please, check back in every so often for more good things to come. The goals is to fill this here digital repository with conscientious writings, random thoughts, and hopefully (lord willin') some great design and development work.
Me and this website
I’m a front-end developer and designer with over 19 years worth of experience. During that time, I’ve worked in either (or both) of those capacities in a range of professional environments: large in-house communication departments, small design agencies, as well as an independent contractor.
My goal with this site in particular was to create a clean, contemporary representation to display past works and to be a shining example the kinds of works I aspire to. Like every good website should, this site started with content first. It's built upon my own static site starter frshnr, utilizing only the finest select cuts of choice HTML, CSS, Sass, and Javascript. The fonts featured here are delivered via Google Fonts: IBM Plex Sans happens to be the sans-serif and Playfair Display is the serif.
Oh writing, I dabble
Recently, I've written mostly about movies and other such pop culture related matters. I started a side project called The Defeatist a couple of years ago. It's purpose being to satiate my appetite to see more movies whilst better honing my writing skills. Eventually, the idea is to turn it into a full-fledge development project.
