DoDEA

DoDEA is charged with the responsibility of educating the children of our Nation's military.

• Web Design
• Responsive Layout
• Information Architecture
• UI/UX

Having worked on the maintenance of the DoDEA ETAC site for several years, I was tasked with creating a new design with an updated style while making content easier to find for three distinct target audiences.

My solution presents visitors with three paths to site content specific to the goals associated with their audience grouping. And while DoDEA was reluctant to part with the amount of content on their homepage, breaking it up into digestable color-coded chunks based on information categories, makes scanning pages for information a much easier task.

Link to live demo no longer available. Mockups were created using actual screen shots.

LGA Capital

LGA Capital provides financial services and consulting for commercial real estate.

• Web Design
• Responsive Layout
• Information Architecture

LGA Capital wanted an update to their site that would be more appealing and more informative for prospective clients. The update transformed their site from a fixed 640-pixel width, to a screen-filling widescreen presentation that provides up-to-date market conditions and a Recent Transactions page that adds engaging visuals to the description of each transaction. New or prospective clients can also download vCards for the executive team, so there's no need to manually enter information into their contact management software.

NIDDK

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) supports a wide range of medical research through grants.

• Art Direction
• Web Design
• Wireframing

With new NIH guidelines severely restricting the individuality of Institute websites, there was not much artistic freedom on this project. But with a build team consisting of three other contracting companies, I was responsible for supervising the production of over 100 wireframes, and creating all design comps, style guides, icons, photographs and other graphic assets used on the site.

In addition to providing all graphics guidance, I also wrote the code for both the mega menu (executed without the use of javascript) and the RTCD arrow feature.

Urban Threads

Urban Threads is a local drapery and bedding boutique providing luxury home décor products.

• Project Management
• Information Architecture
• Responsive Layout

Urban Threads wanted to freshen up their website, but more importantly, to make the jump into e-commerce with a user-friendly interface for managing their products. We used WordPress and WooCommerce to provide a powerful, stable, and intuitive user interface on the back end, while providing a custom design for the front end and keeping costs very low.

We also suggested personal touches like Ann and Jane's Selects to highlight current favorite products of the store's founders, both of whom are interior designers, and to bring a personal touch to the site to set them apart from their larger competitors.

NASMHPD

NASMHPD is a non-profit member organization representing state executives responsible for the $37.6 billion public mental health service delivery system.

• Project Management
• Creative Direction
• Responsive Layout
• UI/UX

NASMHPD needed to add a new section to their website. With no on-staff HTML expertise, I suggested they look into having their site reconfigured with a CMS. Based on their needs, Drupal was selected as the appropriate platform.

I served as the project manager for this build and provided UI/UX direction to the two designers and the developer responsible for building out the site.

REMS

REMS supports schools, school districts, and institutions of higher education in the development of comprehensive emergency management plans.

• Project Management
• Front End Dev
• Responsive Layout
• UI/UX

Due to the nature of their mission, it is important that some of the content on the REMS site be accessible on all devices, so the site needed a responsive rebuild. We took that opportunity to push for approval to modernize and declutter the design as well. The homepage is now more open and each site feature being showcased gets it's own space, rather than competing for attention on initial page load.
