Curious to know where your plants come from? Houseplants Of The World demystifies the origins of common houseplant species. The client side app features an interactive map to visualize where plants are native. The server side app sends JSON data from the database to the /api path. I built this as an exercise to learn how the MERN stack works. And because I thought it would be interesting to see plants and their native regions plotted together on a globe.

When I worked at Vox Media I built hundreds of custom interactive ad units for clients. This ad concept for Lego was an experiment in Three.js and demoed to the product org. I was responsible for the JavaScript and collaborated with a designer to bring the imagery together. It's simple yet delightful, and creates intrigue and positive feelings towards the brand. It was so much fun to make this little ad. To play, click on the grid to place a block. Refresh the page to play again. Best viewed on desktop, not a mobile ad.
