Spend a CEO's salary

An interactive site that turns C-suite pay into things you could buy with it instead.

2024 Solo build (in progress)

This one started as a feeling: the numbers in CEO pay disclosures are so big they stop meaning anything. So I’m building a site that makes one of them mean something. You pick a real CEO, and then you “spend” their annual pay on things you can actually picture, like a $10,000 raise for every person at the company or a few miles of protected bike lane, while the receipt fills up in real time.

I designed the credit-card components and the layout in Figma and I’m coding it in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with animated cards that track your spending as you go. It’s still in progress: equal parts a way to sharpen my front-end and a small argument about inequality that you get to make with your own hands instead of just reading.
