Zero Networks

As a contractor for Zero Networks, I rebuilt their corporate website, transitioning it from WordPress to ExpressionEngine. I refined the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a flexible system with reusable modules for quick page development. I also developed JavaScript components like a custom video player, carousel, text typing effect, and a job portal using the Comeet API.

Anomali

Brought on as contractor, I helped Anomali build out a new corporate website. The project included refining the HTML, CSS and Javascript into a system that is highly flexible with reusable modules that enable fast development of pages. I also built a handful of JavaScript modules including a sorting and filtering stylized list module.

Caringo

With Caringo I acted in a front-end designer / UX developer role. I bridged the gap between the design team and the development team helping ensure that mockups and plans for two applications were realistic and achievable given our development timeframe. I was also resposnible with building out reusable front-end modules that the development team could plug in as needed to quickly build out application interfaces.

BuildASign.com

I was on the design team with BuildASign working with a team of designers and developers working on projects such as refining the core BuildASign e-commerce website, building new products and building out marketing emails. I was a part of the team that launched new products such as EasyCanvasPrints.com.

Howdy!

As you may, or may not, have gathered my name is Justin Coleman. I'm a front-end designer based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

My passion is in bridging the gap between designers and developers. My grasp of design methodologies, coupled with my experience writing front-end code lets me understand both sides and bring the two closer together creating a smoother workflow.

I thoroughly enjoy building mobile-first, responsive websites and applications. I have applied my skills in numerous fields including e-commerce, non-profit, big data, cybersecurity and agency work.
