Selected Writings
In addition to my professional publications, I also write on my blog. It’s often related to design or the web, or on the occasional personal diversion. Here are a few of my favorites.
New
I was contracted to create a prototype demonstrating how users would submit and manage clean energy project certifications. I created the prototype within Labor & Industries’s theme, including additional UI components.
For this project, the department wanted a proof of concept for a redesign of their prevailing wage search pages for both public intents and affidavits, and their wage rate lookup tool.
During the course of this project, I modernized the design of application screens and content pages, brought them in line with the site's existing responsive framework, improved the user experience for logged in users, and dug into the code to make HTML and CSS improvements, and more.
