Built by hand in Classic ASP in 2013. Ran a business for fourteen years and was licensed to a second retailer. Rebuilt in 2026 as a WordPress plugin by directing AI.

Seven brands, more than a hundred location micro-sites, the annual print program of posters, rental jackets and directories, plus airport signage and shuttle livery.

Custom baseball gloves: eight colorable areas, eighteen colors, 691 layer images composited live in the browser. No Flash, no canvas.

My own CMS, in Classic ASP. Around twenty client sites, five releases, one shared admin chassis.

Self-service publishing for a school district. Eight schools maintaining their own pages through a browser wizard, with no HTML and nothing to install.

One editor and one component library, recolored to each client’s brand. Payless marketing got a fixed set of tags and styles, so pages changed without the layout coming apart.

Designed and ran the entire digital operation for a national OEM wheel marketplace that has done over $3.5M in sales on eBay and WooCommerce: identity, storefront, mobile warehouse tools, pricing, support desk, and the ledger. Designed Templatizer, the publishing system that turns a wheel’s photos into a fully priced eBay listing in under 30 seconds. Posting one rim by hand took 30 minutes in 2012. Designed cross-channel inventory with guards against overselling: publishing a listing puts it everywhere it needs to be, a single sale pulls the wheel from every channel automatically, and the ledger warns when an order oversells. Directed AI to put the storefront’s phone filters behind one button, moving the first wheel from 1064 pixels to 343, above the fold. Directed AI to build an order ledger that unifies 13,000+ historical and live orders from eBay, the storefront and a wholesale partner into one profit-and-loss view, plus a threaded support desk tied to order records. Designed the inventory system from scratch: 8-digit item numbers, shelf location codes and barcoded location labels, with a phone-first warehouse app used on the warehouse floor.

Built a manufacturer’s brand from nothing: logotype system, stationery, signage, building banner, and the proposal documents that won its first work.

On a team of four at the firm: identity, web and campaign work. Retail packaging for Spiderz Sports, the full identity and print system for iTravel Rent A Car, food packaging for Vic’s Mix. Designed and built the CMG Preferred mobile app for iPhone and Android, a hosted web app wrapped for each platform, published to the App Store and the Android Market in August 2011.

Rebuilt the corporate site, three generations of the franchise intranet and the sub-brand properties across seven brands, and maintained more than a hundred location micro-sites for Car Rental, Car Sales and Parking. Designed campaign creative across the brand family and the tagline lockup system that carried it.

Designed and built the district’s first website: information architecture for eight schools, 4,500 students, staff and community. Hired at 16 while still a student, and back from 2005 to 2007 as a Technical Aide.
