Hi, I'm Mike - a designer, developer, tech lead, and all-around problem solver.


For over 15 years, I've built websites, apps, user experiences, and tech solutions for organizations that care about real people.


I believe in practical creativity: making things that work beautifully and actually make life better.

​

Most people just call me Big Mike. (It’s easier to spot me in a crowd anyway.)


When I’m not designing or building, you’ll probably find me playing music, geeking out over new tech, or hanging out with my cat, Mouse.

CURRENT TRIPS

While the old page got the job done with a basic alphabetical list of the groups out serving, the new page offers a much more appealing and interactive design that includes a world map with pins, a group search, tiles with group photos and trip info, and the opportunity to see a snippet of the most recent update when users hover over the tile.

TRIP ITINERARIES

Previous to this year, trip itineraries were created and shared via Google Docs using a template built with a bordered table. Now, itineraries are created with a calendar tool and are published to client accounts with the option of syncing to other calendar services/apps.

TRIP SEARCH

Trip searches on the site were filterable by only a few variables and only single options within each dropdown. The newer version allows for multiple search variables and filters once a search is loaded.
