I am well-versed in accessibility considerations (such as Section 508 compliance and the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). For example, W3C Accessibility Guideline 6 recommends that developers "ensure that pages featuring new technologies transform gracefully". Therefore, in the event that Javascript is turned off, the dynamic sliders below that open to display screen shots and more info will default to an open state. Additionally, screenshots on this site contain fully descriptive ALT attributes for the vision impaired.
College of Informatics
CSS, XHTML, Flash, and
a bunch of Javascript are used to build an accessible
site that serves as the upcoming foundation for the
entire University of Northern Kentucky.

Zavoodi LLC
This web site is built using CSS, HTML, Javascript
menus, and a PHP-based support forum.
The logo is a stylized type logo which I designed.
The packaging for the StockMediaManager product is
also a design of mine.

FogBox LLC
This web site is a mixture of Flash and HTML. The
top portion of each page features a flash-based menu
with animation. The rest of the page is drawn with
CSS styles. The FogBox logo is a design of mine as
well.

Scholarly Report
Good design succeeds in turning data into
information. This is an application that I consulted
on (and provided portions of code for). What I want
to highlight here is the manner I used to turn raw
data stored in a MySQL database into usable
information. The donut graph shown is dynamically
drawn in Flash using data stored in a MySQL database.
The application is housed on a Linux server I
configured and managed.
College of Business - UCCS

follows campus design guidelines. The "welcome back"
message temporary replaces normal content as fall
session begins.

MBA Program - UCCS
The design of this site for the MBA Program at the
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs,
influenced the redesign of the MBA program's main
marketing materials (brochures, etc.), which went on
to win a National Advertising Federation ADDY award,
proof that there's a natural synergy that can (and
should) be exploited between print and web.
This site is housed completely in an early beta
version of a web-based content management
system I authored. Notice how rapidly the
pages load, which is due to MySQL outperforming
the typical paradigm of storing HTML pages on a
server's filesystem.

EmptyHead LLC
This site reflects the irreverent, no-holds-barred
attitude of today's youth that this company wanted to
leverage. In addition to building the site, I oversaw
the creation of the company logo, which included
locating and hiring the artist, providing him with a
rough sketch of the logo, and managing the final
production (coloring, element positioning and sizing,
etc.).
See the Multimedia page for a
proof-of-concept viral web ad showcasing tee
shirts and other products for the company.
WARNING: You
may find some of Empty Head's products
distasteful.
