The Creative
Toolkit.
The software, platforms, and systems I use to build, design, and create. From high-level development environments to archive-grade media production.
Efficiency is the byproduct of the right tools in the right hands.
01 — Development
Cursor
The AI-first code editor that redefined how I build software. My primary environment for all development work.
Antigravity
Advanced agentic coding capabilities that power high-velocity implementation and complex architectural refactoring.
GitHub
Version control and collaborative engineering. The foundation of build-independence and source provenance.
Cloudflare
DNS, Workers, and R2 Object Storage. The global infrastructure that hosts my static-first platforms.
VS Code
A versatile, extensible editor for rapid prototyping and polyglot development across various project scopes.
Eleventy
The simpler static site generator. Powering this fast, lean portfolio and many other high-performance web projects.
Tailwind CSS
Utility-first CSS framework that enables high-fidelity design implementation without leaving the HTML.
Netlify
Automated deployment and serverless functions, providing a robust staging environment for iterative creation.
02 — Creative Suite
Lightroom
Archive-grade color grading and RAW asset management for 20+ years of Alaska photography.
Premiere Pro
High-fidelity video editing and production for regional narratives and commercial projects.
Illustrator
Precision vector design for brand identities, icon systems, and scalable UI elements.
InDesign
Layout engineering for complex documents, print media, and digital publishing systems.
03 — Foundation
macOS
The Unix-based creative backbone. A seamless environment for both design and engineering.
WordPress
15+ years of experience building scalable CMS solutions with Astra, Elementor, and WooCommerce.
Slack
Real-time collaboration and project coordination. The central nervous system for client communication.
Notion
The all-in-one workspace for documentation, project tracking, and knowledge management.
"The tool is only as good as the intention behind it."
I select tools based on their longevity, interoperability, and ability to handle the scale of 20+ years of creative data.
