Portfolio
This is not a full portfolio of my work, but rather a selection of works I either helped create, or continue to proudly work on. Altogether, I’ve worked on hundreds of websites over the past 7 years. For most of my career, I’ve made a living from building publications and web applications from scratch. Some of these projects have been larger than others (some even hitting the 100,000-500,000 visitor/day marks), but only my favorite works will be featured here.
In 2011, I’ve begun doing client services. Currently, only one of those projects is highlighted here.
The UX Booth
In 2008, some friends and I started discussing a possible collaborative project. After a few months of planning, we launched the UX Booth, both a publication for user experience enthusiasts as well as a periodic public usability review for community submitted websites. We eventually phased out our usability reviews, and we now function as a valuable resource “by and for” the user experience community.
With over 30,000 collective subscribers, the UX Booth continues to grow as we plan our next iteration of the site. The Booth has matured to be more than just a platform for us to talk on though—it’s also home to articles by many others in the community including the likes of Bill Scott (Designing Web Interfaces), Nate Bolt (Remote Research), and Kevin Hoffman (User Experience Director at Happy Cog).
The UX Booth is currently operated by myself, Andrew Maier, and Matthew Kammerer. All being equal co-founders, we work diligently to improve the site, often requiring us to trade off jobs, or learn new skills. The fourth founding member of the UX Booth, Redd Horrocks, played a role in the sites start, but has since moved onto pursue other aspirations.

Tutorial9 (aka Tut9)
Tutorial9 began in May of 2008 as a publication that taught aspiring graphic designs, web designers, and photographers. Through weekly published original tutorials and lessons, Tut9 grew a strong community and following of over 50,000 subscribers. In 2011, Tut9 began a realignment process that puts less emphasis on original content for the time being. Our newly implemented website functions as a platform for discovering high quality lessons and resources around the web. Fans can submit their favorite links, which are moderated by Tut9 prior to being posted to ensure only the best content from around the web is featured.
This realignment process is the beginning of a bigger vision for Tut9, as well as an opportunity for me to explore other projects I’m interested in. I’ve committed myself to working on client services in 2011, which was another reason for the realignment.

Python Safety
Python Safety sells safety equipment to the nuclear power industry. Specifically, drop prevention equipment that protects people, and expensive assets in nuclear power plants.
I began working with Python Safety in mid-2011, where I continue to work with a tight-knit team on strategy, media, digital & print assets. I plan on highlighting some of the work involved in this unique project at a future date here on TheLeggett.com.
