New Style - New Focus
If you’ve been to this site in the past you may notice that it now looks much different! Redesigning my website has been one of those “to-do” items that I have managed to keep pushing to the back burner as I take on new projects. I’ve made a lot of other changes in the [...]
Franklin Square Redesign
After experiencing a bit of trouble transferring the domain registration, I was able to launch the newly redesigned Franklin Square website this morning. The original site was designed in GoLive and was not easily editable, so one of my goals for the redesign was to create a site that could be quickly updated as new [...]
Help Ticket Application
I created this simple application to help me maintain a list of individuals I work with on a daily basis. I built it in Flash and used MDM Zinc to package the application and add some extra features not available in actionscript. The projector is small enough to leave open (especially when you’re using multiple monitors) and makes it easy to quickly enter the names and contact information for individuals as I work with them.

FinestraPhoto Blog
I created a Wordpress theme for the blog portion of the FinestraPhoto website. The sidebar shows recent Twitter posts as well as thumbnails of recently uploaded pictures to the the company’s Flickr site.

We have used various 3rd party systems in the past, but could never find one that allowed the level of customization [...]

In the Fall of 07, my credit union began a marketing campaign directed specifically at students entering into their Freshman year at the university. The campaign included a scavenger hunt, radio remotes, drawings for special prizes (including iPods and iPhones), and iTunes gift cards for anyone opening a new student checking account. I created a [...]

This workshop focuses on producing images for computer screens rather than for print.
Photoshop: Masks
This workshop examines the use of Photoshop masks to manipulate images. Among other benefits, masking allows users to alter an image without changing the original.
