Side Projects
When not doing client work, I tend to keep busy working on websites and side projects that are fun and occasionally even helpful to others. Below is a selection of some of the projects I've worked on which are still up and running.
Don't Fear the Internet
Jessica and Russ (Strange Native) collaborate to demystify coding and teach html and css to the non-web-savvy.
52x52
Give to charity every week for one year. 52x52 was set up to help bring weekly attention to deserving charities and encourage people to give more.
Daily Drop Cap
Twelve alphabets worth of illustrative initial caps, this project is now complete but the site remains up for your enjoyment and inspiration.
I Can Haz Art School
Just for fun, I posted my high school portfolio and artwork from freshman year of college—before I really knew what graphic design was.
The Accidental Hipster
Jessica’s non-business writing blog which includes narrative restaurant reviews and essays about everything from tattoos to rain boots.
Inker Linker
Inker Linker is a great way to find the right printer. The site is searchable by service, availability, price range and of course printing method!
Should I Work for Free?
A very handy and humorous chart which will help you figure out whether or not a project should be done pro-bono or if the client should MAKE IT RAIN.
Mom, This is How Twitter Works
Not just for moms! This single page site helps explain the nuances of twitter. Now translatable to any language thanks to Google Translate and HTML.
Blurry Pictures of my Friends
A place for all the beautiful but "bad" photos you tried to take of your friends at dimly lit parties and social gatherings. Submissions welcome.
The Internet Sends Me Cake
The URL says it all. The project is somewhat defunct but the site remains intact.
