How We Got Here
The Beginning
Built my first SmugMug portfolio. It worked, but it looked like everyone else's.
The Frustration
Realized I couldn't move buttons, change fonts, or make it truly mine. SmugMug's customization felt locked away.
The Deep Dive
Started learning CSS. Discovered undocumented features. Broke things. Fixed them. Learned everything.
CustomSmug is Born
Decided to share everything I'd learned. Every hack, snippet, and workaround—all in one place.
What I Bring to the Table
A fusion of creative vision and technical precision.
Photography
Capturing moments and telling visual stories through the lens.
Web Design
Crafting beautiful, functional digital experiences that convert.
CSS & Code
Turning design visions into pixel-perfect, performant reality.
“I believe every photographer deserves a portfolio that reflects their unique style—without needing to hire a developer.”
That's why every tutorial, code snippet, and tool on CustomSmug is free. Because I remember searching for answers and coming up empty. No one should have to settle for “good enough.”
