This is a project that I am doing for Adele Nieves, founder of Liquid Words Productions. This is her personal website.

This is a project that I took over from another designer who became ill and could no longer do monthly updates. The code was a complete disaster (tables on top of tables, 100's of image spacers for layout, bad javascript rollovers, pixilated graphics, locked dreamweaver templates). I didn't have access to the original files, but only what I could get from the ftp. Because of this, I couldn't access the template files so the only changes I could make were content, not design or layout. So, I re-designed the whole site to make life easier. The result: 100% improvement.

This is a site I designed for my video production company, Jade Productions. I use this site to give information about my company and to post sample clips of my work.

This is a re-design of the Fit & Sit Petsitting site that I previously designed. The client decided to change her business model and wanted the website to be simplified and updated with new content. Check out the blog to see a wordpress blog fully integrated into the design.

This is a site I am working on for a photographer. I decided to make it a wordpress blog to give the owner easier control.

This is a site I designed for a pet sitting business. I also designed the logos for the site.

This is a gallery site for Chef Jason Campbell that I did as an interview for a possible employer. This site uses the thickbox method which uses the jquery JavaScript Library to display the images.

This is my first attempt at a submission to the CSS Zen Garden. This design also marked my first real experimentation with CSS. I used this challenge to learn a lot of the fundementals of CSS, which I have built upon tremendously and hope to use for another submission in the near future.

This website is for a family-owned deck staining company out of Bradley, Illinois.

This website for wrcj909fm.org is the site I was hired by Detroit Public TV to manage. I redesigned the original site and made it valid XHTML. Below the image is a list of highlights that I developed.

A part of my job at Detroit Public TV was assisting with the detroitpublictv.org website. I helped to validate most of this site and helped to redesign many parts. Below the image is a list of highlights that I developed.

On Demand Video

Part of the DPTV website is Filmmunity, an online film community at filmmunity.org. I helped redesign a lot of this site and got it to validate. I also updated some of the content and did flash video throughout the site.
