Mobile Site Design

I created a mobile application/site for YarnCon, Chicago’s own fiber nerd convention.
In keeping with the style of the logo & the current site, I changed it up a little using scraps of yarn as design elements and to create the map of the Chicago neighborhood where the event takes place.
The site was created in Flash [...]

Direct E-mail Campaign

The client, a long standing bar in historic Geneva, Illinois (where they filmed much of Road to Perdition), was looking for a way to connect with the younger crowd that is currently growing in the suburbs of Chicago.
The e-mail design, a template that can be edited monthly to update customers of current specials, and to [...]

Make-up artist portfolio

Latoya wanted to portray a sleek and modern feel when she showcased her work as a freelance make-up artist for MAC cosmetics.
I chose pink, grey and white because they complemented her photographs and differentiated her from a crowd that typically uses all black for their backgrounds.
I bundled up the flash and gave it to the [...]

Online Presence

Ed Wiley and Associates is a small business consulting firm located outside Chicago and they specialize in web development and database systems (pretty intense stuff that I don’t always understand).

I designed [...]

The blog has [...]

Blues Music Blog

When the noted blues musician Bill Dahl found out that his column was being cancelled due to budget cuts in traditional media, he was looking for a way to extend his current website with a venue to write his CD reviews and other industry news.
I created a WordPress based blog that makes use of custom [...]

Informational Site Design

Fundwell.com is an online provider of the CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) certificate, and was in need of an overhaul of their 10+ year old front-end presence.
The client wanted their logo prominently featured on the home page and also wanted to use only those colors in the design of the site.  The logo had to be [...]

Idea Studio

A small knitting store in the Chicago suburbs was in need of a site redesign.  I am a fan of do-it-yourself projects, but it breaks my heart when places I shop have bad websites.
I created this site to appeal to the wide variety of clientele that frequent a yarn shop – everyone from teenagers and [...]
