past projects
Below is a sampling of the projects I've had the privilege of working on over the last few years. Some of my previous work has since been redesigned, some of it is no longer available, and some of it is ever-evolving. I've tried to retain public samples of my work where possible.
American Family Insurance
insurancestatus: complete
Per corporate requirements, the intranet sites for the Education Division at American Family Insurance needed to be moved to a new standards-compliant XHTML template. I was contracted to transition and organize the entirety of the division's site; my responsibilities included converting the existing table-based code to semantic markup and consolidating content (we were able to reduce the number of pages from over 4000 to around 2500).
Unfortunately, because this project involved a corporate intranet, I'm unable to provide a sample.
Rocket To Mars
local musicstatus: inactive, archived
Rocket To Mars was a side project for two experimenting musicians. The site included a custom content management system to manage news updates, a recording journal, information about upcoming gigs, profiles of each member, and more.
The band project was abandoned before the site was completed, so this project remains unfinished. You can view the remains here. *
Benchmark Enterprises
computer consultingstatus: completed
I've created several generations of the website for Benchmark Enterprises as the small Milwaukee-based computer consulting firm got more established. The site features samples and descriptions of the services Benchmark offers, as well as visual samples when appropriate.
The Deaf Aids
local musicstatus: inactive, archived
Tigerblade Design created a new website for a developing local band, The Deaf Aids. This project included a custom-written content management system to manage news updates, show information, band profiles, and more. A number of graphics had to be custom made, including advertisements.
The group eventually disbanded, and the site has since been taken down. You can view the original site here. *
Stay Tuned Audio
automotive specializationstatus: redesigned, archived
Tigerblade Design and Benchmark Enterprises were contracted to design a new website for Stay Tuned Audio, a car audio/video customization business. The site's structure had to be reworked, with several new sections for each division of the company's operations.
While the site has since been redone by a different designer, you can still see a sample of our work here. *
Non-Existent
local musicstatus: inactive, archived
My first contract website design project. Non-Existent, a local band, wanted a more efficient version of their website. A complete overhaul was performed, adding sections for merchandise, song lyrics, and member profiles. Non-Existent no longer exists (no pun intended), but I have retained the site as a sample. *
