“Good design makes you feel good even if you don’t know why.”
I create meaningful, virtual experiences with an approach grounded in a passion for storytelling. As both a designer and a writer, I focus on both the visual presentation and the written narrative. I help my clients to distill what makes them unique and to embrace it.
All of my work is custom, so that a site doesn’t feel templated, matches a company’s branding, and expresses depth, personality and professionalism.")

The website is light and simple, letting the art provide the color and intrigue. An integration with Artwork Archive allows for a unique display and purchase option right on the site. And a plugin allowed a bit of flair with a “mega menu” to display the collections pages.")

Their redesigned website conveys the breadth and depth of their work with case studies for every project organized by market sector, all with the forethought, simplicity, organization and elegance of their design work.")

Their new website is the home base for all current projects, with a full rundown of all current projects and a popup trailer for a quick synopsis of each one. A dark palette lets the media stand out.")

Her website needed to also express her deep connection to the natural world, showcase her art, and invite visitors to shop and learn in her classes and workshops.")

If that weren’t enough, they’ve also launched a unique “try-before-you-buy” option with the new website. This function allows customers to order any item with just a hold on a credit card to see if something fits. If it’s a keeper, the card is charged; if not, a return will be processed.")

The rest of the pages display an impressive educational background, testimonials and resources.
Overexposed, shadowy images provide an introspective aesthetic to support the context. The site utilizes ample white space, thin borders and elegant fonts to promote calm and spaciousness.")

The goal for the rebrand and redesign of his website was to offer more authority and resonate with audiences young and old.
The new site uses dramatic colors and bold shapes to both play off of a reimagined logo and the clean lines of a sheet of music. The effect is a clean, elegant presentation that stands out.")

They decided to launch a site to build a community in which they can share their wild ride.
The website design features a colorful aesthetic that is reinforced through fun photos and a vibrant color palette. A video on the home page invites visitors to join them on their journey. And their blog and Buzzsprout podcast provide rich detail.")

The site aesthetic needed to also be unconventional and features playful imagery and video to support the owners’ unique approach. The color palette and fonts are warm and welcoming while moving beyond the standard.")
