WEBSITES

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Beautiful design and impeccable code come together to give website visitors a remarkable experience. From e-commerce business solutions to niche mom and pop boutiques, my sites are designed and developed around the user and produce maximum results. A website isn't just about the site, it's about who you are. It's the public facing portal for your brand and the hub for your online presence. That's why it's important to understand your target market and provide the appropriate and optimal tools for users. I approach a site's development from a marketing standpoint knowing that remarkable design and usability are key to a company's success.

BRANDING & IDENTITY

LOGOS, MOBILE, PRINT, AND SOCIAL MEDIA

A plethora of tactics from print design to mobile branding make for an holistic approach in a companies marketing strategy. A consistent image across multiple platforms establishes brand identity. This includes brand personality as employed through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

SOUND AND ANIMATION DESIGN

CASE STUDY

Textalyzer is a native iPhone app with 4 engaging and challenging games to analyze your state of mind before sending out a text you might regret later. If you can succeed in winning the games then you should be clear-headed enough to send out a coherent text. In providing the full sound design and creative animation concepts, I was able to provide a vital element which ensured this project's success as a fun and engaging game app.
