D-Pad:
An application designed to introduce users to a myriad of video games, sorting them by platform. When a user expresses interest in a game, it gets saved to a playlist, where the user can mark it as “in progress”, “completed”, or delete it entirely.
I styled the application after a Nintendo Switch, to make browsing through games feel more like playing one. The game suggestions are driven by which console(s) the user owns. Games given the green “thumbs up” are added to the user’s playlist, while ones given the red “thumbs down” are rejected.
React Portfolio:
Made as an exercise to practice React as I had learned that it was able to break down your UI into reusable components.
I found that it made it easier to manage and maintain mu portfolio, especially as I grew and used more complex designs.
I enjoyed that it made my code more organized and easier to understand as that also made it more simple to add new projects when they were created.
Team Profile Builder:
Created using npm inquirer, this app prompts the user for information and generates a team profile (based on user responses) in an html file.
Adventure Companion:
The Adventure Companion is a dynamic, digital character sheet for Dungeons & Dragons.
The purpose of this project is to allow players to easily access spell descriptions and keep track
of their levels, classes, weapons, background, ability scores, and inventory.
It was designed to resemble a traditional "character sheet" as seen in the game, but used an API to make information available at fingertips.
“No more erasing hit points over and
over until there’s a hole in your sheet.”

Proof of Concept:
After familiarizing myself with some of the designs and subjects of Windstream, I wanted to try my hand at a more clean, modern layout than may be highlighted in my current portfolio.
I recently bought a book titled “Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction” written by Kieran Healy and am enjoying learning about all of the unique graphics that can be used to present data.
