Selected project

Cortland Curiosities

An interactive local-history site built around strange stories, forgotten places, and a very specific visual style.

Cortland Curiosities was a fun one because it did not look or behave like a typical informational website. It used local stories and history to create something people could explore.

The focus

The design had a lot of atmosphere and layered visual details. My part was getting that feeling into the browser while still making the site responsive and keeping the content usable.

What I worked on

  • Front-end development for story-led layouts
  • Responsive treatment of layered visual assets
  • Interactive navigation and discovery patterns
  • Detail work supporting the project’s distinct atmosphere

I like that the development work did not have to hide here. The interactions and layout were part of what made the project feel like itself.
