Project need

Dashin Mike needed a permanent home for a 2019 DoorDash road trip story that was bigger than a playlist or a social feed.

The project needed to connect episodes, journal entries, photos, stops, and the larger personal story in one place.
The site needed to feel personal and road-worn without losing clarity, structure, or mobile usability.
Visitors needed easy ways to watch the episodes, read the journal, browse the gallery, follow the route, and connect.

Desktop website view

The build turned a personal DoorDash road trip into a structured series website with an embedded YouTube episode guide, journey journal, photo archive, interactive route map, and clear navigation.
