hand-crafted interactive data visualization
D3 ~ HTML5 | more info | |
I use animation and programming to build engaging experiences that communicate complex ideas. As a front-end developer with a designer's eye, my niche is in bringing beautiful design to life. Thoughtful interactive animation goes hand-in-hand with math and logic problem solving behind the scenes.
Bringing over a decade of Flash experience to Actionscript's sister language, Javascript, I'm fluent in making things work in HTML and Flash. Past projects include portfolio sites, custom video players, microsites, games and educational touchscreen kiosks. I'm currently focusing on interactive data visualization.
Ursa Major In Aeternum
All stars are in motion, so the patterns and constellations we see in the sky today were not always that way, and will not remain as we see them. The time scale is vast; in the course of a human lifetime the stars barely move. What did the night sky look like to the first humans? How will they look to our descendents 100,000 years from now?
