Summary
Joshua Van Boxtel is a Director of Front End with over a decade of experience blending graphic design sensibilities and software engineering to build high-traffic, user-focused web products. He currently oversees front-end strategy and execution for the CriticalClick Network and Wargraphs portfolio, serving millions of monthly users while coordinating cross-functional teams on accessibility, responsive design, and UX. As founder of jBox Creative and a former digital director, he pairs hands-on coding (HTML/CSS/JS, PHP/Laravel, WordPress) with creative direction and client-facing product strategy. Joshua is comfortable scaling front-end systems, mentoring teams, and defining technical requirements across marketing and platform projects. A not-obvious strength is his formal graphic design training combined with a B.Eng. in software engineering, which lets him translate visual intent into performant, maintainable front-end architecture.
