Stumptown Scallion Project Header

The Stumptown Scallion

July 2019 - Present

I co-run Portland's #1 satirical news publication, The Stumptown Scallion. We provide the Rose City with unparalled investigative journalism. I built the site, do most of the graphics, and share writing responsibilities.

YouBrewYou

I made this site to help people who have never brewed before get their feet wet with a really fun hobby! Made years ago while teaching myself how to code (and before I even knew what UX was), so naturally the concept is better than the execution.

About

Hi, I'm Ari.

I’m a UX designer living in Portland, Oregon.

I have been working for Columbia Sportswear since March 2024, where I find ways to make complex interactions feel intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable.

Outside of work, you can find me in the kitchen cooking Thai food, on a soccer field or basketball court playing pickup, or in my garden trying (without much success) to grow carrots.

Currently sipping on: Fracture Hoppy Lager
Currently listening to: Romare

Other than that, this site is powered by my own code, helped along at times with StackOverflow research. There's no template and no secrets, so take a look under the hood and use whatever you'd like!
