Explore my recent projects across UX, accessibility, and aerospace interfaces. A selection of recent work I'm most proud of — projects that taught me how to build thoughtfully.
Launch Commander
A full-stack interactive website that tracks rocket launches. Allows users to make predictions, climb leaderboards, and view live mission data. Built with the MEAN stack and integrating Launch Library 2 along with 4 other APIs for a rich, real-time experience.
A boho‑steampunk inspired e‑commerce site built with WordPress and WooCommerce, complete with custom branding and product setup. This project highlights my ability to design, configure, and deploy a complete e‑commerce experience.
A full‑featured PHP jewelry website with server‑side form validation, a MySQL‑backed contact form with honeypot spam protection, and a Birthstone Sweepstakes module. Deployed live on DigitalOcean with Apache and SSL.
Gym Therapy Experience is a Bootstrap‑built concept site that blends fitness, recovery, and real physical therapy into one accessible, energetic space. Designed around a playful, movement‑driven aesthetic, the site showcases a gym where members train alongside licensed therapists in a buddy‑system model that reduces injuries and builds confidence. Every session is followed by access to in‑house recovery stations—TENS units, saunas, hot/cold compress therapy, plunges, and professional‑level PT massages—creating an environment where getting fit and getting well finally meet without the high cost of traditional therapy.

Orbit Interactive Lab
Specialized pages, interactive tools, and art & design showcases built into this very portfolio.
An interactive AI toolkit constellation built inside this portfolio. Explore the AI tools I use daily—Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and more—through a live starfield skymap you can navigate with your mouse or keyboard. A transparent look at how I leverage AI to accelerate development without sacrificing craft.
A curated gallery of brand identity work spanning diverse industries and visual styles. Each logo is purpose‑built to capture a brand's essence—balancing aesthetics, scalability, and market fit. From minimalist wordmarks to illustrative emblems, this collection demonstrates range and intentionality in visual communication.
A one‑of‑a‑kind pixel‑specific browser annotation system I conceived, designed, and built with AI assistance. Notes stick to the exact coordinates on any webpage and stay anchored through scrolling, resizing, and dynamic content changes. Custom icons, persistent storage via the Chrome Extensions API, and a UX obsessively refined for low cognitive load.
Rusted Luxe is a Texas‑based horology and accessories brand blending bohemian freedom with steampunk grit and western elegance. My role was to design and build a fully branded e‑commerce experience using WordPress and WooCommerce. This included developing the visual identity, customizing the theme, adding products, configuring payments and shipping, and creating a cohesive, immersive shopping experience aligned with the brand’s unique personality.
Branding & Visual Identity
I established a cohesive branding system inspired by Texas landscapes and the brand’s “boho‑meets‑steampunk” aesthetic. The color palette combines muted earth tones with metallic accents, creating a bold yet grounded visual identity. Typography, graphics, and photography were selected to reinforce the contrast between rustic textures and refined luxury.
I also created a custom logo featuring a chic cowgirl in branded colors, wearing a watch around her waist. The typography intentionally contrasts: “Rusted” uses a rugged, industrial western font, while “Luxe” uses a bold, flowing script to communicate the brand’s core theme of grit meets glamour.
Product Setup & Catalog Structure
I added 32 products organized into four custom categories. Each product received pricing, weight, SEO/meta descriptions, mock inventory, and custom titles. I customized the product grid, category pages, and content backgrounds using branded overlays and opacity adjustments to maintain visual consistency across the site.
Cart, Checkout & Payment Integration
I personalized the cart and checkout pages to match the brand’s aesthetic and tested the full purchase flow in sandbox mode. I integrated WooPay for seamless native checkout and Google Pay for fast, one‑tap mobile payments. Automated tax calculation was enabled to ensure accurate, location‑based rates.
Shipping Setup
I implemented WooCommerce Shipping and migrated the store to the updated WooCommerce Shipping experience. Shipping rules included free shipping within the continental U.S., with pricing strategy adjusted to absorb part of the shipping cost.
Outcome
The final Rusted Luxe site delivers a cohesive brand identity, a fully functional WooCommerce store, custom product catalog, streamlined checkout, and a polished, story‑driven shopping experience. This project strengthened my skills in WordPress customization, WooCommerce configuration, branding, UX design, and e‑commerce implementation.
