Projects
These are some of the personal/professional projects that I have worked on in my spare time.
My full-time job is user experience designer for BDI, a world-wide distribution company. I am a member of the E-Commerce team which develops B2B, B2C, and customized views for specific companies. I would be happy to share and discuss these designs with you, but I don’t want them on public display.
I have permission from the following companies and organizations to share these designs.

After teaching music, I pursued a development path. I continue to assist organizations and local businesses by building and maintaining their websites. These are some of my ongoing projects. Some websites do coincide with a design project.
