HI, I’M BRANDON.

I’m an experienced front end developer / web designer – 16 years and counting.  I also have a background in graphic design, marketing and branding, and have worked in small agencies as well as large corporations.  This broad spectrum of skills and environments has enabled me to be adaptable in an industry that’s always evolving.

THINGS I DO

DEVELOPMENT

Utilizing a well-rounded front end skillset, I enjoy taking concepts and designs, and bringing them to life.  Development is a challenge, and the journey is the fun part.

DESIGN

With a background in graphic design, as well as many years of building consumer-facing sites, I’m well-equipped to design dynamic concepts that follow brand standards and design principles, while keeping functionality and performance in mind.

WORDPRESS / CMS

I’ve been building sites using WordPress as a CMS for over 12 years.  Whether it’s a quick one-page site or a large site with many features, I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience in delivering a fast, consistent experience for users, as well as a manageable dashboard for clients.

BRANDING / MARKETING

I have extensive experience in agency environments, specifically in marketing.  This has helped me develop a keen eye for making sure everything stays on message, and all elements remain true to the brand.  (And if the brand hasn’t been established – I can help with that too.)

THINGS I USE

HTML

CSS
SASS, Grid, Flexbox

Javascript
React, ES6, jQuery

Content Management Systems
Wordpress, Sitecore

CSS Frameworks
Bootstrap, Foundation

Version Control
GitHub, Sourcetree

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

Professionally, I thrive in a collaborative environment.  I really enjoy the camaraderie of my co-workers, learning from each other and working together to solve problems.  I love to learn;  if there’s something that’s not already in my skillset, I want it to be.

Outside of work, I’ve got a wife, a son and multiple pets at home, all of which keep me busy but bring joy to every day. If the weather is warm you’ll find me with a softball bat or a golf club in my hands.  If it’s cold there will be a game controller in them instead. I’m an avid Cleveland sports fan (and there is no better lesson in perseverance than that), so whatever is in season, the tv usually has it on, or my phone has the radio feed going.

LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?

Reach out and let me know.  I think we’d make a great team.
