When I joined Publish2 as a product designer, one of my first big projects was a branding overhaul. I wanted to bring Publish2′s homepage into the 21st century to better convey the purpose of the web app while making it more aesthetically interesting.

In winter 2009, I helped Dave Cohn’s team with the redesign of Spot.Us, a San Francisco-based, non-profit journalism project.

California Photography site design

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:09:46 +0000

This project was a portfolio site for a photography agency in Southern California. This photography agency specializes in beautiful, ’30s-inspired black and white portraits. They wanted a site that would complement their photography style and replicate the feeling of a vintage photography set.

Because the agency is located in Southern California and its founders have New Mexico roots, they wanted the California and New Mexico flags incorporated into the logo design. The following is the logo I designed for California Zia Photography to both match the site and capture the founders’ heritage (with a fun, modern spin):

Mustang Daily site redesign

admin — Sun, 24 May 2009 06:42:58 +0000

As online editor for the Mustang Daily at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I helped the site transition from proprietary to open-source software. Working off a base template from Woo Themes, I redesigned the site with a fresh, clean design that is more modern and intuitive to our readers.

The site is run on WordPress blogging software, but used as a content management system more than a blog. Along with the entire site redesign came a restucturing of the staff workflow to allow reporters, editors and photographers to all participate in posting content online.

Dear Judy web design

admin — Sat, 23 May 2009 00:52:07 +0000

This project was designed as a specialty site for a dentistry institute in San Diego, California. The agency specializes in porcelain veneers and wanted more traffic for the service, so I designed a site and helped increase their SEO. The site includes before/after photo galleries, videos and a “Dear Judy” blog.

As the multimedia chair for the Technical Association of the Graphic Arts for a few quarters at Cal Poly, I was in charge of revamping the site. Working off an existing web site, I updated a few stylistic elements to keep the site up-to-date. The site was designed in Dreamweaver.
