The Penny Hoarder

I filled a full-time role designing digital and print products for the Create Team and coordinated (Managed Projects) in an Agile Environment with the IT Team. This allowed me to use both my design skills and my technical skills in a WordPress environment.

Amelia Offshore Website

This was a consulting job for a Florida man who is a boat captain on Amelia Island. The site is for his business. I wanted to give the site a nautical theme and used several shades of blue.

Holiday Card Design

I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around holiday time. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season.

CAS

This was a 1-year contract for a Web Content Development role, but then switched to a different title as Web Analyst for the Marketing Team at Chemical Abstracts (CAS) in Columbus, OH. The company was using Drupal for their website and we worked with Media Current to manage development on the site.

InXite Health Systems Website

This was a 2-month contract as a WordPress Developer for the Marketing Team at InXite Health Systems in Columbus, OH. The company had been working on three websites in WordPress and had a deadline to meet that was coming up soon. So we had 2 months to launch at least 2 of the sites. We ended up launching the day before the deadline. 🙂

Adobe PhotoShop Tutorials Gallery

I occasionally do tutorials to sharpen my skills and this is a PhotoShop 3D Tutorial that I did for a possible Holiday Campaign. The Interface is a manual slider, so you can see and compare the before-and-after images. Position your cursor over the image to see the original compared with my version on the right.

Express

This was a 3-month contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at the Express Corporate offices in New Albany, OH. We used JIRA to track jobs and when I got assignments, I would complete them and send them through the approval system for the team.

Big Lots

I did a short contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at the Big Lots Corporate offices in New Albany, OH. We used JIRA to track jobs and when I got assignments, I would complete them and send them back to the Traffic Controller for the team. My projects ranged from print to web and included e-mail, banners, advertisements, gifs, etc.

Red Badge Consulting Website

This company wanted to keep his site design, but there were issues with the site, so we switched it over to a WordPress site and added blogging. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity. As with most of my sites, I design it and set it up and then I release it to the client and no longer have anything to do with the site.

PhotoShop Restoration Before & After Gallery

This is a series of Before and After pics from Image Restoration work that I have done over the years. When an image becomes a sepia color, it means it has aged, so when restoring images, I switch it back to the original B&W, unless the client desires the image to be Sepia toned. The Interface is a manual slider, so you can see and compare the before-and-after images.
