This is the website I designed for my family's farm in Virginia. We grow mushrooms for market, raise chickens for eggs, as well as bees. We wanted an intuitive and simple site that was easy for people to navigate, while still reflecting through image and typeface choices, our sense of humor and friendly approach. I used a little bit of javascript to make the site a little dynamic and interactive, and altered photography of the farm and it's inhabitants to create custom graphics. The typeface we chose for our logo (which I also developed) was not available in web form, but easily accomodated. Click the image to go to the site.
I recently finished this site for a newly licensed massage therapist in Northern Virginia. Her previous page was poorly scaled and not completely functional. It was built on wordpress so we started over from scratch rather than waste valuable time sorting through the overly complicated code. We cleaned up her logo and used her existing cool color scheme. I reorganized some of the content to be more intuitive so potential customers could find the information they desired quickly and easily, while still visually reflecting the calming and restorative nature of her business.

Only text and a logo were provided for this site for a fictional cajun restaurant. I redesigned the logo to be eye-catching and more representative of the atmosphere and offerings of the restaurant.
