This was a consulting job I was hired for to finish up a WordPress design job for Iacono’s Pizza. They had already chosen a theme and a designer had designed graphics, but I had to do some back-end work to get the staging server to work and I set up the site so we could start working on the design. This was kind of an enhanced editing job. I had to do a lot of formatting in the menu section and basically putting things into place, so they’d work. I tweaked the code to get it to look right.
This was a consulting job for Estep Media Services for a redesign for Phoenix Hydraulic website. All the details were set by the Media Service and Phoenix Hydraulic staff and then they handed it off to me for development.
This was a 2-month contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at HealthyDirections.com in Bethesda, MD. The remote contract was through Robert Half.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This was a contract to fix problems with the website that was started by another designer. I redid the design and fixed several issues. The contract was through Robert Half. They have redesigned the site recently.
I taught this design class Fall Semester 2017 for the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. I had 11 undergraduates (mostly Freshman & Sophomores) in my class, who had never had a design class before, so their experience varied. I guided them through basic principles of design and gave them their first introduction to InDesign. Their projects included designing a tools guide for InDesign, 2 posters, a resume and a magazine cover and inside layout.
This website was for a contracting company in Boston specializing in placing people for Medical Device and Software and Hardware Engineering positions. I had to recreate the logo because the version they had was low-res and very poor quality. Then I redesigned the site for them with a responsive design. I also edited and wrote some of the content.
