How I Work

When I Work

I typically get in around 9am and leave somewhere around 5:30-6pm Mountain time in the US. This floats ~30 minutes day to day but I tend to stick to a relatively predictable schedule. I will flex my schedule for certain meetings, but prefer to have calls in the evening as opposed to the morning. I'm not a very capable human being until I've had my ☕

I tend to start the morning by reviewing comms and responding to pings that have come in overnight. Once that is all done, I dig into client work and run through to lunch. From there I work another 3-4 hours on client work and might wrap up with some communications or extra reading.

Where I Work

I tend to work from a co-working space of some kind, but that changes by the month. I have a space setup with my big screen, a standing desk, etc. but sometimes other conversations will bleed in as I don't have a dedicated office of my own. If I have a call that's personal for either of us or sensitive, I'll go walk and talk about

Scaffolding 101: A Quick Guide to Building Your Own Frameworks

It pays to know your code. Development, QA time, and bugs all go down when you write and know your own frameworks & libraries.

Building your own repeatable plugin/theme frameworks & libraries can save you money and time and increase code quality. In this talk we’ll cover the basics of why you should build your own reusable codeset, when you should build your own, and how to build a repeatable, quality framework. I’ll take lessons from our own experience building in-house libraries and help you apply them to your business & clients.
