Web Portfolio

Notes:

Most of the designs below were created in Photoshop by my talented colleagues at Vizualle or Minima Designs. I implement web-standard markup, scripting, server configuration, and any other needed technical support.
The political views of the web sites below do not necessarily reflect my own. I maintain professional neutrality when I work with a team to build a web site.
Some of these web sites were created for quick political action campaigns, to monitor and report on a particular issue or a Congressperson's voting record. As a result, a few of the sites below are defunct or outdated.
