Wild Texas History

Wildlife Conservation

A digital exhibit of Texas's ecological history I built during the pandemic, drawn from primary sources spanning 1700–2000. The work grew into a Texas Parks & Wildlife feature and historical research for the documentary Deep in the Heart.

What

I do

Creative

Two decades of art direction and design across luxury travel brands, editorial, and marketing — brand systems, layouts, and photography, end to end in the Adobe suite. I set a clear visual standard based on usability and keep it consistent across everything.

Content

I write and edit professionally: feature journalism for Texas Highways and Texas Parks & Wildlife, plus the content strategy behind editorial programs. I research, report, fact-check, and adapt my voice to the outlet.

Tech

I build the things I design. I hand-code sites and CMS themes and develop custom tools with Claude Code — from Perch, a 3D civic dashboard, to the theme behind faunatravel.com. Comfortable across HTML, CSS, JS, GitHub, and AI-assisted workflows.
