Welcome to my Portfolio

Problem

Over the years, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's website had evolved through multiple redesigns, content migrations, and system integrations. As information from various sources was merged into a single platform, the overall user experience suffered, making it difficult for visitors to find the information they needed and creating unnecessary friction between the public and government services.

Solution

As the sole designer and developer on the project, I designed and built a large-scale, responsive website focused on simplifying navigation, improving accessibility, and reorganizing content around user needs. By prioritizing clear information architecture and intuitive design, the new experience enables users to find the information they're looking for in three clicks or less.

Challenges

• Consolidating content and functionality from multiple legacy systems into a unified experience

• Designing intuitive navigation and information architecture for a large volume of government content

• Maintaining consistency across hundreds of pages and multiple departments while ensuring a cohesive user experience

• Balancing modern user experience standards with accessibility requirements and organizational constraints

Problem

When I joined Diesel Laptops, the company's e-commerce website was running on an aging GoDaddy platform that had reached end-of-life. On my first day, we were given just two months to migrate everything before the service was permanently shut down, putting the business's online presence and sales at risk. The challenge was to preserve years of content and functionality while modernizing the experience and launching a completely new platform before the deadline.

Solution

Working as part of a talented team, I helped design and develop a new e-commerce platform built on Shopify, modernizing the user experience and creating a scalable foundation for the company's continued growth. Together, we successfully launched the new website before the legacy platform was decommissioned, ensuring a seamless transition for both the business and its customers.

Challenges

• Migrating products, content, and functionality from a legacy e-commerce platform with a strict two-month deadline

• Rebuilding custom features and workflows while maintaining business continuity

• Designing a responsive and intuitive shopping experience for a large catalog of highly technical products

• Collaborating closely with designers, developers, and stakeholders to deliver a complete platform on schedule

Problem

After the successful launch of Diesel Laptops' new e-commerce platform, the company decided to expand into the marine industry with a new brand: Marine Diagnostic Tools. The challenge was to create a website that leveraged the strengths of the Diesel Laptops platform while establishing its own identity and addressing the unique needs of marine technicians, boat owners, and service providers.

Solution

Working as part of the development team, I helped design and build the Marine Diagnostic Tools website on Shopify using modern web technologies and responsive design principles. The new platform provided a familiar and reliable shopping experience while adapting the product catalog, branding, and user experience to serve an entirely new industry.

Challenges

• Translating a successful e-commerce experience from the trucking industry to the marine market

• Creating a unique brand identity while maintaining consistency with the parent company's established systems and workflows

Problem

After my son joined Little League baseball, I noticed there were very few options for parents, siblings, and fans to show support for their teams. While players had uniforms, families were left with limited choices for apparel and accessories that celebrated their athletes and team spirit.

Solution

I designed and developed United Sports Attire, an e-commerce website built on Shopify that provides custom apparel and merchandise for families and supporters of youth sports teams. Drawing from my experience building larger e-commerce platforms, I created a streamlined shopping experience that made it easy for customers to find, customize, and purchase team gear.

Challenges

• Building a recognizable brand and shopping experience from the ground up

• Creating a flexible storefront capable of supporting multiple teams, designs, and product variations

• Designing a mobile-friendly experience for busy parents shopping on the go

Problem

In 2009, three friends and I founded Disciple Christian MC with a simple mission: build a community for bikers and share the Gospel with people who might never otherwise hear it. We needed a way to reach people beyond our local area, communicate our mission, and create a central hub where members and supporters could connect with the organization.

Solution

As a co-founder and the sole designer and developer, I designed and built the Disciple Christian MC website from the ground up in under three months. Originally launched as an informational website in 2009, the platform later evolved to include e-commerce functionality that helped support and expand the non-profit's mission. The website became an important part of the organization's growth, helping Disciple expand from a local chapter to the largest and fastest-growing Christian motorcycle club in the world.

Challenges

• Designing and launching an entire website in less than three months as the sole designer and developer

• Creating a platform capable of evolving from an informational site into a full e-commerce experience

• Supporting rapid organizational growth across multiple states and countries while maintaining a consistent brand and user experience

• Building a website that effectively communicated the organization's mission to diverse audiences around the world

Problem

When I joined General Information Services, the largest privately owned background check company in America, their website had fallen several years behind modern web standards and no longer reflected the company's position as an industry leader. I was initially hired with the expectation of developing the new site in PHP, but shortly after joining, I learned that the project would need to be built entirely in ASP—a technology I had never used before.

Solution

As the sole designer and developer, I designed and built a modern, fully responsive website that elevated the company's online presence and provided a solid foundation for future growth. By quickly learning ASP and combining it with modern HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery techniques, I was able to deliver a state-of-the-art experience that aligned with both the company's goals and evolving web standards.

Challenges

• Learning and becoming proficient in ASP while simultaneously designing and developing a large-scale production website

• Modernizing an outdated web presence without disrupting the company's existing business operations

• Designing a responsive experience at a time when mobile-first development was rapidly becoming the industry standard

• Balancing new technologies and design trends with the constraints of a legacy technology stack
