The Project:
Practicum Website Redesign

The Client:
Kidsave International, a nonprofit in based in Washington, DC who helps find foster and adoptive families for older orphan children.

The Solution:
As the team lead on a team of 3 people, I was responsible for overseeing the web designer and web developer and helping both where need be. The project was designed and constructed over a three week period using a boilerplate in wordpress.

Following graduation, Kidsave International hired me to finish up some page details and highlight certain aspects of the site. In collaboration with two other web designers, we completed the site to their liking.

Site Address: kidsave.org.

The Client:

The Objective:
To create a one page place holder site while the full site is being created. Sweetie's Treats Cupcakes is a small start up cupcake business in Torrington, CT. The company was created in 2012 by two sisters who came to me seeking a branding, marketing, print materials and a website. Site address: sweetiestreatscupcakes.com

The Project:
Design a rating site of your choice using wordpress

The Client:
Vespa

The Solution:
This site has rated the top 8 Vespa Scooters of 2011 according to engine size and speed. To enforce is Italian orgin, I created a header for the first page inspired by the Itlian flag. The header changes to several different images as the viewer clicks on different pages of the site. The second image down is the page when all ratings are displayed, showing a thumbnail image and short description. The third image down is the page that displays the full article of the selected Vespa. When the image is clicked on, the last image shows its display in a lightbox. The facebook 'like' option was also added to this site. Theme used: 2011

The Project:
Design a blog website that appeals to both women & men for a wedding photography website.

The Client:
Studio Nouveau, a Boston-based wedding and boudior photography duo who are looking to expand their website with a blog

The Solution:
Incorporating blue to the already pink and gray color palette of the original site adds a flare of masculinity to the blog's overall feel. The site is also very image based and easy to navigate. For a more personal touch, I added photos of the photographer's in the header.

The Project:
Create a site for a trendy hippy inspired coffee shop with rotating products

The Client:
Baked & Wired

The Solution:
The first image is the Baked & Wired homepage, which includes a mission statement, map & directions, social media connections and a navigation bar. Each social media button, the logo, and the map were created with adobe illustrator for this project. The chalkboard background is inspired by the coffee shop's chalkboard menus displayed at their store. The burlap background is inspired by the hippy personality of the coffee shop and its employees. The second image down is an interior product page under the coffee category. When the coffee navigation button is clicked, the different types of coffee are displayed at random. The last image is the contact page.
