Websites for readers.
Tools for editors.

I develop publishing websites and editorial tools at Beck&Stone.

Take a look at my work

Selected work

Rankaholic

Editorial tools

SEO where the editing happens.

I extended Beck&Stone’s WordPress SEO plugin so editors can change search wording from the content list, preview sharing details, and undo saved changes.

From design to WordPress.

I’m translating supplied designs into WordPress navigation and responsive layouts for The New Criterion.

In this Topics menu, readers can explore subjects and preview an article before following a link, using a mouse or keyboard.

Frame Compare

Frame Compare measures the same headline in two fictional layouts. The narrower website headline wraps onto an extra line.

“That spacing looks off.”

I built a local tool for checking a website against its design. Select an element on each side to compare its dimensions, or measure the gaps around it.

It also captures specific views, including open menus, for checking navigation states.

A little about me

I notice the fiddly bits.

A setting buried three screens deep can make a simple job awkward. That’s the sort of problem I like working on.

Away from the browser

I write essays and poetry, and make heavy music in REAPER. I have a soft spot for old technology.
