Welcome! I'm Logan, a creative developer who believes your website doesn't have to be boring. I use code and design to craft digital experiences that bring people joy.

I'm something of a specialist...

At least, my mom thinks I'm special. That's the same, right?

Front-end Polish

I bridge the gap between dev and design, obsessing over the UI/UX details that take projects from pretty good to "pixel perfect."

Web Animation

Using motion, I upgrade visuals, elevate page transitions, enhance brand storytelling, and more — all while prioritizing performance.

Interaction Design

Borrowing techniques from video games, I create immersive, dynamic experiences that surprise, delight, and engage users.

But don't take my word for it.

Here are a few nice things people said about me on LinkedIn.

Logan's superpowers are his creativity, problem-solving skills, and ability to execute quickly and flawlessly. He has an incredible talent for taking complex, abstract ideas and turning them into polished, engaging digital experiences...His adaptability, combined with his sharp creative instincts, makes him an invaluable resource for any team.

...where I really valued Logan's input for our new homepage motion graphics was the challenge of taking our brand positioning and unique selling points from words in a brand guide to a fully fleshed out, on-brand, and fun set of graphics that clearly convey the value of what we do for our customers.

Logan was my go-to engineer when I was working out large-scale front-end projects as a Product Manager for The Wildest (Kinship). He thrived in instances of ambiguity and helped create straightforward solutions to complex problems...He was a great leader, active team player, and a critical partner to the Product team!

A creative dev is only as good as his tools.

I reach for these on a regular basis. But I'm always exploring and experimenting, eager to learn new technologies that help me hone my craft and build immersive web experiences.

Case studies, or it didn't happen.

Might I persuade you to peruse my recent work?

Nice to meet you.

I've spent the last 10+ years building delightful digital experiences with code and creativity.

In my time as a front-end engineer at Fullstory and Mars, I developed my eye for design and deep expertise in using animation and interactivity to bring the web to life. Meanwhile, solo projects and freelance gigs have given me a systems mindset and taught me to work cross-functionally, take ownership, and solve complex problems.

When I'm AFK, you're likely to find me reading, gardening, making music, or running trails in the majestic Pacific Northwest.

Well, you can't say I didn't warn you. (But you're a rebel. I kinda like that.) Unstable physics and silly shenanigans ahead.
