2D Con - Brand Management

2D Con is a project of mine intended to bring east and west coast style video gaming events to the Upper Midwest. From concept to creation, and beyond I have continued to be the main design and development member on what is now a team of seventy-five volunteers.

Along side the main Wordpress development, I also design 2D Con's various print media. Including Magazine style booklets, business cards, postcards, flyers, posters, vinyl coverings, apparal, and enamel pins.

Tempworks HRCenter UX Design

Built on top of bootstrap the Tempworks HR Center admin portal was lacking a good user experiance. With the goal of avoiding any major changes, I modernized each page and added a little flair.

The original design relied heavily on checkboxes and lacked categorization for the very large amount of configuration options.

Using purely CSS I was able to replace the checkboxes with toggle switches, increase the button visibility, add some color to the logo, and create a responsive and intuative design.

This is Geek - Brand Management

This is Geek is a 501(c)(3) charitiable organization I founded in 2010. Throughout the years it has grown exponentioally. Through various events, and entities such as 2D Con, and One Round This is Geek is well known in the local video gaming community.

Most of the events This is Geek puts on are done to raise money for local charities, especially if those charities benefit children, or animals.

As the President of the board, I am in charge of the day to day operations of This is Geek. Including any branding or design work.

As a charitable organization that gains much of it's operating costs from outside companies our branding is very important to us, and has helped us gain many partners such as Twitch, Discord, SNK Gaming, Boomerang Energy, and many more.
