Gigi’s Shelter for Dogs

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.

Adjunct Professor @ OU

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.

Carlton National Website

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.

Alliance Data Systems

I managed and coordinated the design, editing, coding and execution of automated email messages for brand partners’ cardmembers, adhering to CAN-SPAM requirements and email best practices.

Lifelines Website

I won a bid to build a website for the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I helped organize the stories and reporters hired to do stories on Social Work for the site. The project was part of a special grant. 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. I did purchase the domains for them and set up their hosting account. I organized the content with the help of the client.

The Columbus Dispatch

I worked on the Design Desk at The Columbus Dispatch on a one-year contract during their redesign. I designed features pages, inside news, the TV tab, the Business section and the Metro section. After the contract ended, I returned about 6 months later for another 6-month stint.

Big Bend Blues Bash Logo

I have been cleaning out files in order to unearth all the right versions of my old work and I found a logo I created for a Blues Bash from 2005. I took the artwork from an old poster of the event and pieced together a logo for a sign. All the work was done in Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop. I thought it would be a good example of what I can do.
