Experience

Over the past 25 years I have owned and operated many websites. These are the ones I still keep and work on. I build every site you see here—start to finish, concepts to plugins. These aren’t just WordPress installs with off-the-shelf tools. I design and develop custom plugins for galleries, daily prompts, an online sketch pad, color palette generator, membership roles, profile editors, and more. Each site runs on my own GS (GiantSponge) codebase, including tailored child themes and layout systems. I work fast, iterate often, and move on to the next build with purpose. What you’re seeing is a living portfolio—every project is mine, and every feature is handcrafted code from original concepts and currently in production.

Sketchbooks.org
is a creative platform showcasing the visual language of sketchbooks — the drawings, studies, notes, and artistic explorations that shape modern visual culture.

GnarlyTree.com
is a resource dedicated to helping people navigate life with POTS and Dysautonomia.

For Sale

My 8-domain portfolio, including giantsponge.com , is available for purchase. I am reaching a point where my health and retirement goals outweigh my ability to maintain this level of custom development. These sites have been my passion for over two decades, but it is time for me to simplify. I’m offering the entire collection for sale to someone who can give each project the attention and growth it deserves.

Ignacio Martinez

Only a week had gone by and most of what I had asked for was finished and ahead of time. It’s wonderful to go from sketch to build so quickly.

Lyn Steinmetz

He provided designs that were exactly matching our current look and feel, & without a style guide. It was like working with an old friend who knows you.
