a Chicago-based with a background in graphic design and 10+ years of agency experience building modern, CMS-driven web applications.
Below are a few projects that highlight my approach to front-end engineering, CMS architecture, and interactive development.
Rather than treating the agency website as a marketing piece, I saw it as an opportunity to showcase modern front-end techniques. Built with Vue, Nuxt, and GSAP, the site combines thoughtful animation, performance, and responsive interactions while reflecting the agency’s creative identity.

Helped build and launch the Next.js and Sanity CMS platform before transitioning into the role of technical lead. Since launch, I’ve overseen the site’s continued evolution through feature development, CMS enhancements, API integrations, A/B testing, bug fixes, and long-term maintenance. It’s been especially rewarding to own and improve the platform over multiple years rather than simply launching it.

Display advertising taught me to appreciate the details of front-end engineering long before modern frameworks. Every animation, transition, and kilobyte matters when you're working within strict file-size and browser compatibility constraints. That experience continues to influence how I approach performance, accessibility, and polished user interactions today.
See my pinned repos on GitHub or CodePen for recent tinkering.
