Hey, I’m Ramzi.

I’m a web designer and developer, photographer, videographer, print designer, and more.

Currently I do front-end web development for Fitch Ratings (using Vue.js, GraphQL, Node, Atomic CSS). Previously, I was the web guy for Chicago magazine, and attended Northwestern University’s fullstack coding bootcamp on nights/weekends (learning React, Mongo, MySQL and more). Here's my Github.

At Chicago, I did a lot of editorial web design, which won a national award from the City and Regional Magazine Association:

At my current job, I’ve done a lot of work with component-based design and architecture, using Vue.js, Atomic CSS PostCSS, and various build tools. Recently I've been tasked with building programmatic design systems, like this one:

The developer building the page simply feeds a "card" component an array of objects, and the component designs itself using a simple patterning ruleset, and plucks atomic classes from an array. Fun stuff.

Here's what happens when you add this a bunch of cards, all held together with some CSS Grid:




Here are some clients I've worked with on a freelance basis (if you care about that kind of thing): ConAgra, Avant, Rag & Bone, Printavo, The Chicago Community Trust, ADA25, KNSTRCT, Chicago Public Schools, Mariano’s, Dalhousie University ...and more!
