Open source

I believe passionately in open source, as a practice and principle.

Contributions

The following are projects, or areas I have contributed to.

WordPress

I am currently a core committer and multiple component maintainer for the WordPress project. In the past, I have been a Design Lead for 4 releases (5.0, 5.4, 5.6, 6.3), Core Editor co-Lead for 1 (6.4) and involved in numerous others. I also led a default theme release and supported several others. I was also the Design Lead for the new editing experience phase one, which was called Gutenberg.

I have also servered as a design team rep for a number of years and mentored designers looking to be involved within the project. I was a founder of the theme review team and helped establish their processes.

Ephemeral Themes

This is a project focusing on the new space of themes in WordPress. I provide tutorials and blog posts along with exploring with examples that space.

Patternspiration

This site was created to show how far patterns could go as a concept in WordPress. It ended up with contributions to the WordPress community pattern directory and museum of block art.

_s

_s is a base theme for WordPress, I was a committer and active contributor for a number of years. I worked on an experimental fork of this to create a modular theming system for WordPress.

BuddyPress

I was an active contributor for a number of years on this project and recently supported their explorations into editor blocks. I worked on a range of areas across a number of years and also wrote a book on theme development for BuddyPress.

WordPress/Themes

I was a theme reviewer for the WordPress project and in my role as a theme wrangler, I worked on a wide range of themes. I also released several of my own during the previous years. Currently, any themes I release can be found on my GitHub page.
