Hey, I'm Damien, but online I mainly go by the alias of usertermed.
Professionally, I do Broadcast Production at a local church in Springfield.
My passion, besides media, is computers. I've been coding since I was 8, and have always been curious what makes things work.
Case studies in storytelling, community, and interactive design.
A Lightweight News Reader
A minimalist news platform designed to remove recommendation algorithms and unnecessary distractions, allowing readers to browse current events in a clean, chronological experience focused on readability, simplicity, and fast performance.
Community Mapping Platform
An interactive world map where anyone can place a pin, attach a description, and share meaningful places with others — focused on community, exploration, user-generated content, and geographic storytelling.
A Digital Time Capsule
Inspired by internet checkpoint videos, visitors can leave little notes, thoughts, or messages that others may discover later — centered on reflection, community, digital memories, and minimal design.
Interactive Wisdom Generator
A fun interactive experience where clicking a mysterious rock reveals random words of wisdom, humorous advice, or thoughtful messages — full of personality, interaction, playfulness, and animation.
Educational Data Visualization
Created for a school assignment, this project presents child labor statistics using a clean, accessible interface that makes complex information easier to understand — focused on data presentation, education, accessibility, and clear communication.
Personal Website Redesign
A personal project to redesign and rebuild my personal website, focusing on modern web technologies, responsive design, and improved user experience.

Have a project, idea, or just want to say hello? I'd love to hear from you.
