Software for the real world.
I’m Wess. I design and build digital products, content systems, and the infrastructure underneath them. Part engineer, part product person, permanently curious about what happens behind the screen.

Things I’ve made, helped shape, or kept moving.

803media

Undercover
↗A comics shop with a little more atmosphere than a catalog has any right to have.
Warren
↗A publishing surface for a project that needed its own shape, voice, and room to grow.

Human on the other end.
I like software that feels considered from the outside and understandable from the inside. That usually means getting close to the problem, finding the shape of the thing, then building all the way down.
If you’re working on a product, a site, or a stubborn system that needs a second brain, send a signal.
