Harbor sights

Let’s begin

  • I am a digital storyteller.
    I build interactive experiences that inform and delight.

    Dream big
    Consider the awe of immersive art exhibits like Van Gogh and Monet. Their images flow across warehouse walls. On monitors and phones, study the different ways to delight users – and convert. (All while using WebP formats for images and Core Web Vitals for page and SEO performance.)

    Plan for measurable success
    Bring out your toolkit:
    Platforms like Drupal 10 (and 11) and WordPress
    Miro boards to collobrate ideas
    UTM and taxonomy processes
    Tools for task dependencies and schedules (JIRA, Asana, Basecamp, and ClickUp)
    Gauge the wins with Events in Google Tag Manager and Analytics (GA4, of course)
    Tell stories simply
    Parse complex tales into simple parts. While writing for the web, I:
    Check in on my Hemingway app
    Optimize content for search
    Create compelling narratives
    Match word counts

    Every day I try to be Steinbeck, Gladwell, Veen, and Keegan – all rolled into one. Some days, they’d like to be me, too.
