About This Site
This site was designed with very specific goals. Check out the approach, and what I'm learning.
Designs in Progress
- 'Photosquares' Idea
An image-based responsive design I'm working on...
Design Work
Web
- Under Wraps
A fully functioning E-commerce website I designed using E-commerce Templates for the cart engine. Support a local business, and get a great deal on giftwrap by shopping at Under Wraps.
- Giftwrap Calculator
Check out this giftwrapping project calculator I wrote for Under Wraps using PHP. It is a really useful tool for professional gift wrappers, but needs a bit of tweaking for individuals.
- Photo Gallery
The Under Wraps photo gallery was written using jQuery and PHP. It's a dynamic photo viewer that takes a directory and displays all of the pictures inside, separated by folder structure.
- Massage Therapy Website
A project I started in 2012 that was never formally published. It's mostly a quick experiment about an aesthetic, and is not a responsive design.
- Om Prana Yoga & Consultants
View a local copy of a site I designed in 2011 for a yoga teacher. My web design perspective and skills have grown significantly since then.
Fashion
Check back soon for pages about my fashion design work.
Current Inspirations
CSS
- Unstoppable Robot Ninja
Ethan Marcotte's Blog
He has great stuff to say about reponsive design among other topics - CSS-TRICKS
Chris Coyier's site dedicated to all things css. The archive is really useful, and he is still writing on new technologies. He provides great samples and code snippets too!
- Add Rules to Stylesheets with JS
David Walsh describes dynamically creating rules and stylesheets using Javascript.
HTML5
- HTML5 Rocks!
Informative articles about the current state of the web.
- Dive Into HTML5
Mark Pilgrim's great book about what's new in HTML5.
- HTML5 dialogues - on the way?
A cool new tag and corresponding API that's not ready for primetime yet.
- HTML5 downloads!
Finally, a more direct method than server side processing for downloads. Very few browsers support this at the moment.
Scripting
- Javascript Design Patterns
Addy Osmani's book on design patterns. It has helped me to put my coding skills in perspective, and is not a light read!
