Collaborators

Ideas On Purpose

Overview

PurposeUI  is  an  opinionated  internal  design  system  developed  in  collaboration  with  Ideas  On  Purpose.  It  establishes  a  consistent  approach  to  responsive  design  through  fluid  design  tokens,  a  configurable  grid  system,  automatic  color  shade  generation,  theme  support,  reusable  components,  and  utility  classes.  Typography,  spacing,  sizing,  radii,  and  shadows  all  derive  from  a  shared  token  system,  allowing  designers  to  focus  on  mobile  and  desktop  layouts  while  the  system  seamlessly  scales  every  viewport  in  between,  significantly  reducing  the  effort  required  to  design  and  build  responsive  websites.

YoutubeOnRepeat.com

Period

2010—2018

Overview

YouTubeOnRepeat.com  was  my  longest-running  personal  project  and  one  of  the  early  websites  dedicated  to  looping  YouTube  videos,  6  years  before  YouTube  introduced  looping  as  a  feature.  Built  on  the  YouTube  API,  it  began  as  a  PHP  application,  evolved  into  a  jQuery-powered  frontend,  and  ultimately  became  a  Vue.js  SPA.  Users  could  save  playlists  and  favorite  videos  without  creating  an  account  by  leveraging  the  browser's  then-new  localStorage  API,  eliminating  the  need  for  a  backend  account  system.  At  its  peak,  the  site  reached  over  1  million  monthly  users  with  an  average  session  duration  of  45  minutes. 

My favorite piece of community content. I don't know them, but I think they enjoyed my "it was supposed to be a weekend project."

CodePen Experiments

Period

2014—Present

Overview

CodePen  has  been  my  creative  playground  for  more  than  a  decade.  It's  where  I  experiment  with  things  that  don't  belong  in  client  projects—CSS-only  art,  conceptual  animations,  browser  experiments,  tiny  games,  pixel  art  made  with  a  million  box-shadows.  Some  of  the  work  has  been  featured  by  the  Microsoft  Dev  Blogs,  CSS-Tricks,  Smashing  Magazine,  and  other  front-end  publications.  My  most  popular  pen  has  over  400,000  views  and  is  still  being  referenced  more  than  12  years  later. 

Features

  • CSS pixelart and illustrations
  • Animation and motion experiments
  • Tiny games and interactive toys
  • Browser API explorations
