website design
My talents as a web developer became widespread knowledge on my World of Warcraft server, Spinebreaker US. This is one of several guild websites I was commisioned to create. The site is no longer live at this time.

website re-design
The Fenwick Bakery is very well known where I grew up. The owners have followed a strict tradition of old fashioned scratch baking for nearly a century. I gave their aging site a modern facelift while using typography and color to portray the high value they place upon tradition.
I collected surveys from customers to determine their needs and preferences. I found that the majority of the bakerys customers were middle aged to elderly with limited computing skills. For this reason I kept the navigation as simple as possible and adhered to common web standards such as blue text for hyperlinks.

Auto Lunacy is a locally owned and operated business that rents out antique and specialty vehicles to advertising agencies, film studios, photographers, and more.
The owners of the company were satisfied with the visual design of their website however they did not possess the expertise to update it on their own. I simplified this process for them by creating a PhP application to allow them to keep track of and update their vehicle inventory and picture galleries via a web based GUI. Additionally the application allows the owners to keep track of repairs and maintenence costs.

During my junior year at Towson University the school decided to offer a video game course as part of a pilot program to allow students from different diciplines to work together. My group consisted of myself, a Computer Science major, and an Art major.
It proved to be a very challenging yet worthwhile experience. After weighing our options and considering how much time we had to present a functional proof of concept (one month) my group opted to go with a 2D arcade style game. Every step of the creation process was learned as we worked.

A very simple fan site I made for the Japanese rock band, The Pillows. It's a bit old but I've always liked the clean, bright design. It was originally done as part of a class project but I went ahead and polished it up more after it had been graded.
website/community design
This is a design I made for my guild in World of Warcraft. It was very well recieved.
Of all the sites I have created this has been by far my most successful. Although it was only intended to provide a small community for my guild it became much more. Our server, Spinebreaker, embraced it as a sort of unofficial realm forum and it developed into a rich online community. We received well over 30,000 views per month. Unfortunately the guild disbanded and the website has since been taken down.
MMORPG interface design
Early on in my World of Warcraft addition I started to play with modifying the game's flexible user interface. I started with small additions and modifications such as an extra action bar.
Things snowballed and eventually I found myself sitting on a completely re-designed interface. I began sharing my designs with the modding community and eventually began releasing my UI to the public for others to download and use.
To date my UI compilations have receieved more than 20,000 downloads and have been featured on several popular WoW community sites including WoW Insider.
