Hello,

After discovering Webflow and low-code platforms, I started doing a lot of experimentation and research into this new trend and quickly realized this is where I want my career to go.

So, I got to work branding betterer and putting together a design for a site where clients can come to see my stuff and get in touch with me for freelance work as well as start building low-code templates using Webflow and Framer to sell as a side hustle. Having built reusable components a million times at Glo, I was familiar enough with how templates worked and what they should look like, so it only makes sense to put them up for sale! This is something I'll keep adding to on my own time to build my own abilities and to also share my work with the masses.

One great side benefit of working on betterer and it's templates is that it allowed me to really understand the platforms I'm using in and out as well as their abilities and limitations. It's also helping me flex my design muscles and to build best practices.

While you're here, feel free to check out the site and preview the templates!

Glo is where I really honed my abilities and ran the full gamut of web development by touching virtually every aspect of the web app and marketing site.

When I started out at Glo, they needed someone to help get through a large backlog of marketing material that went ignored for some time. This included email development, landing pages for marketing and banners for the app. It was originally intended on being a contract job where I'd work on all this material and get them up to speed, but they saw something in me and kept me on board and I ended up staying there for 4 years.‍

During that 4 years my responsibilities increased significantly and while I still continued working with the marketing material (which I actually loved doing), I was also responsible for building components for the app, contributing to new features and even heading my own features a couple of times. One of which turned out to be their most successful, Livestreaming.

Approached by Pathcore to do a complete overhaul of their previous Wordpress website's design that had shown it's age as well as having signs of many people adding to it without much thought regarding maintaining design guidelines.

They were due for some much needed change and modernization as well as consistent design guidelines! Initially I was going to just restyle the Wordpress site, but more and more issues arose from how they're adding content to issues with the platform itself from it's speed to all the plugins and the frequent updating. So I opted to build an Express.js app with Contentful's CMS from scratch and design everything from the ground up.

The result was a much more presentable, cleaner site for their prospective clients to navigate and the usability of the site was far more clear and consistent.

Humble Flower approached with a design ready to go in Figma and needed a someone to develop their online store on Shopify's platform. Even though I was busy working at Glo, I accepted because I was super curious how Shopify worked.

The job grew into building two virtually identical sites due to Shopify's policies on selling THC marijuana products vs just CBD products and we came up with a solution to build a portal to direct people to one site or another.

Working closely with the project manager and designer, the custom store went up within a month of me starting.
