Web Design
Old Arizona is a cafe/ theater/ wine shop/ chocolate shop/ community center/ dance studio/ event center. I worked under the owners creative direction to create this site.
Jen wanted a simple site that showcased images of work that she had done.
This site offers Film Production Crew to list their businesses online. The site allows businesses to update their own listing throughout the year.
I created a simple photography portfolio website for Sharolyn. I used her photographs to accent the banner and footer of the pages. I kept the design simple so that the photos could speak for themselves.
I worked on this project at MCAD’s DesignWorks with Pam Arnold, Meredith Stuart and Mauricio Arrango to design and develop this website. Since the site launched in 2006, I have worked with the film board as a graphic/web designer and web developer.
This church wanted a simple and sweet design for their website. I used images of lace and wood to give this website a gentle and artistic feeling.
This community hires local musicians to compose original liturgies for their services.
An e-commerce website that I designed. This store sells organic cotton / recycled material clothing for women and children. Fresh styles, sustainable practice, affordable prices.
A website for a wood flooring restoration/ installation company based in the Minnapolis / St. Paul area. The owners of the business wanted a site that showcased examples of work that they had done.
These two do a fantastic job.
A website I created for a brand new eye care clinic in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Mn. The color scheme came from the vibrant interior of the clinic.

Oscar Wilde’s screwball comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a lot about over-indulgence and cucumber sandwiches.
