Alex Kwartler is a painter who wanted his website to function as a purely visual experience â no captions, no chronology, no provenance. Artwork and press images are displayed in an infinitely shuffled random order, and the archive resets on every visit. We built two custom WordPress plugins that handle responsive image conversion automatically and give Alex a simple set of switches and buttons inside the native media library to control exactly which images appear and how. The result is a site he can update in seconds. The project involved some genuinely interesting problems: SEO with almost no text, color-accurate image conversion, and responsive image generation across a wide range of source formats and dimensions.
The ASipP (Alternate Side pre-Parking) Report is a resource to navigate weekly NYC Alternate Side Parking. Intended as a mobile-first web app (it also works for Desktop), this tool aims to provide information more effectively than the official 311 parking app, ASP NYC twitter account, available App store products, and the 311 hotline. It's designed to provide all the relevant information for the next two weeks of parking with a single click. No additional links, date seeking or reloading necessary.
The report provides current ASP status, tomorrow's status, a two-week summary, and upcoming suspensions. ASipP updates every 10 minutes using cronjobs via Netlify Scheduled Functions to account for changes in weather and current events. The report gets its information from the official NYC 311 Public API provided and maintained by New York City. It does not account for film + residential permits, street construction, school, sanitation, or scheduled events, but it might in the future.
Day Czyz is a Creative Director, Graphic Designer, and artist working in NYC. They've worked with a multitude of clients including Adobe, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Campbell's across a range of mediums and platforms. They wanted something between an agency gallery and a professional portfolio that showcased their breadth of design work and could be maintained easily. We built a completely custom site and hosted it for free via Vercel.
I created a website for my Fall 2025 wedding on Long Island. I wanted the website to act as an invitation, creative outlet, and a place to experiment with form and play with what an event page is 'supposed' to look like. The site is stripped down to the bare essentials, incorporating unconventional visual elements, obscure web design techniques, nostalgia, and information to create a playful and graphically appealing tool for attendees, without the clutter of a traditional wedding page.
The Art Handler Collective wanted a simple and efficient website to advertise their services and create an online presence outside of social media. They expressed a need for project inquiry forms with email forwarding and a way to tie in a custom built scheduling app they've been developing internally. Their priority was a lightweight site that gave clients the information they needed to properly describe and spec their projects for quotes and approval.
Primeaux Knives was interested in reworking its e-commerce page to improve performance, customer traffic, and user experience. Together, we built a flexible and versatile platform for sharing their custom chef's knives with their expanding user base. Their business model relies on heavy product turnover month-to-month, which places high demand on frequently changing website assets to reflect new products.
I acted as engineer, creative director, digital archivist, and copywriter. We established a workflow for producing, cataloging, organizing digital assets and copy for monthly product drops. I also consulted for creating bonus content and value via social media and conceptual art inspired email content. We found unique ways to utilize and repurpose existing documentation and promotional materials to build a well-rounded brand identity that reflected Primeaux's southern roots and commitment to high-precision engineering.
Viola Yesiltac had an existing portfolio that wasn't working the way she needed it to. She utilized her website to connect with galleries, institutions, curators, and collectors. The old site was slow and disorganized, and made sharing new work difficult.
I revamped and optimized menus, galleries, file sizes and image compression, layout, documents, and removed unnecessary apps and features. I also performed a site-wide re-captioning of all artworks to MLA standards for artwork documentation.
I'm passionate about building lightweight, efficient websites and applications that work seamlessly across devices. I use digital tools to solve problems utilizing design and building software to help businesses execute their visions. My design sense is informed by a continued interest in the web, fine arts, and visual culture. I aim to make deliberate text and image choices paired with a clean, performative approach to programming that prioritizes the user's experience as paramount.
When I'm taking a break from building, you can find me shooting photographs, biking in the city, or looking at art.
Working on something interesting? I'd love to hear about it. Just want to chat? That's fine too, send me a message!
