01 / Website launch · 2025

Harristechsolutions

Repositioning a tech support agency as a strategic product partner.

The relaunch reorganized the site around clear service ladders, stronger product storytelling, and a modular content system the team could maintain after launch. I connected the brand, UX, CMS structure, QA, and deployment process into one repeatable system.

Jake Inderman Homes

A boutique real estate experience with the warmth of an editorial brand.

I translated analog mood boards, photography direction, and Jake's client-first voice into a responsive property showcase. The system pairs premium presentation with maintainable listing content, neighborhood storytelling, and lead capture.

03 / Interactive prototype · 2025

44 Realty Group

A data-backed real estate shell built to turn one source of truth into a polished lead experience.

The concept maps Google Sheets data into editable listings, service areas, testimonials, and calls to action. I shaped the branded interface, the Sheets-to-site data model, and the documentation needed to keep the demo flexible without losing visual consistency.

MatttalksMortgage

A video-first mortgage education platform designed to make complex decisions feel approachable.

I treated the platform like a focused media product: editorial planning, video-led layouts, lightweight lead flows, and reusable publishing tools. The result gives one advisor a system for turning expertise into consistent, useful content.
