Selected work

A few things I’ve designed, built, and run.

Client sites, products, and my own businesses — the same standard on all of them: fast, findable, and easy to keep up.

  1. Product design

    SquadCast (opens in a new tab)

    Design for SquadCast, the in-browser studio podcasters use to record remote interviews in studio quality (now part of Descript). Product UI, brand system, and the marketing site.

    • Product UI
    • Brand
    • SaaS
  2. Client · E-commerce

    NorCal Corals (opens in a new tab)

    Custom WordPress storefront for a Redding coral shop — WYSIWYG frag listings, address and hours up top, and local schema so nearby hobbyists actually find it.

    • WordPress
    • WooCommerce
    • Local SEO
  3. Product · In development

    Reef Harmony (opens in a new tab)

    A hobby-first home for reef keepers: tank profiles, private or public journals, and parameter tracking — with a feed built on who you follow, not ads or algorithms.

    • Product strategy
    • Web
    • iOS
  4. Personal project · Editorial

    Garage After Hours (opens in a new tab)

    A guide to turning the garage into a space worth staying up for — practical upgrade guides, an interactive layout builder, and a free printable planning workbook.

    • Editorial
    • Interactive tool
    • Newsletter
  5. Own business · Web store

    Coralicious Frags (opens in a new tab)

    The storefront for my own Sacramento-area coral farm — a live WYSIWYG inventory with monthly drops and wish lists, built around local pickup.

    • Next.js
    • Inventory
    • Local pickup
  6. Own business · Brand & store

    Read & Root (opens in a new tab)

    A botanical book box and plant shop under AW Ventures — hand-wrapped blind-date books, curious plants, and a storefront built around the unboxing.

    • Brand identity
    • Subscriptions
    • E-commerce
