Actors Training Center
In 2020 I helped launch an online ticket sales platform for the Actors Training Center in Wilmette, IL. Since then we have expanded their online capabilities to include class registration and fundraising.
Lemuel Watson
I had the distinct honor of building a website for Dr. Lemuel Watson, a seasoned executive, coach, author, and scholar.
Derek Nielsen Photography
I had the distinct honor of working with one of my oldest friends, Derek Nielsen, in launching an online store dereknielsen.com for his photography brand. A portion of all sales go directly back to organizations helping to protect the delicate ecosystems represented in the photographs.
Northwestern University
I served as the lead developer on a rebuild project for the Foundations of Health Research Center at Northwestern University. Their website was severely outdated, disorganized, and not communicating the important research work they are doing. We leveraged their massive amount of content and built an agile system of organizing and displaying their research content, […]
Art & Alma’s Century Inn
An award-winning, historic steakhouse in the Chicago Suburbs with packed weekend dinner crowds deserves a strong website – an online presence that properly represents the 110-year-old restaurant which has never closed its doors despite Prohibition, riots, and structure fire. (2024 Author’s Note: sadly the Century Inn did not survive the Covid19 pandemic, and was forced […]
For Love of Water
I was honored to take lead on redesigning and rebuilding the web presence for a cause as noble and necessary as FLOW: For Love of Water, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering leaders and communities to protect the Great Lakes (the largest source of freshwater on Earth). We conducted brand, user, and donor research and […]

Some of the many challenges included staying true to Saybrook’s unique brand, taming its complicated site architecture (5000 pages when we started the project), and […]

Check out the deck presented to school leadership. This is the original homepage circa 2003: This is the homepage (3rd […]
When Miles Met Bridget
Shortly after my wife and I got engaged, we worked together to create an online space to celebrate our journey, as well as serve as a portal where our guests could privately RSVP. My wife (a professional copywriter) wrote the story, artist friends of ours contributed original illustrations, and I designed and built the parallax-scroll […]
TCS Education System
TCS Education System was in dire need of a new website, plagued with an outdated CMS and an outdated design that did a poor job of representing who they are: “a nonprofit system of colleges advancing student success and community impact.” Check out the upgraded TCS website – relaunched in 2015. “Miles is a self-motivated, […]
Dr. Joshua Moon Johnson
I developed a website for author, scholar, and activist Dr. Joshua Moon Johnson, whose new book brings to life an on-going controversy and deep personal struggle for many as he delves into same-sex relationships and Christianity.
