An interactive multimedia web experience combining photography, music and video that I designed and developed with photographer Brad Hill. The goal was to encourage the user to take their time exploring the content so that they will be rewarded by unexpected discoveries.

Implemented features on the UI, CMS and API. Created reusable dropdown menu components meant to scale that filter results in the UI. Added a new feature in the CMS that allows the admin to edit an ingredient’s nutritional information on the API.
Technologies used: React, Gatbsy, TypeScript, GraphQL, Prisma, Inversify

Food Feed is a social networking site where users can easily modify and share recipes. Users have the option of creating recipes from scratch or they can simply edit any recipe in their feed with the click of a button. Change the ingredients, directions and even link specific ingredients to individual steps to suit your own taste!
