Welcome to my portfolio
Not the Dorm - Fairfield Properties
 I completely redesigned this luxury college apartment site. The color palette of black with vivid accent colors and the button designs were heavily influenced by music web sites that would be popular with my target audience. I incorporated several usability features, including disjointed rollovers and randomizing images. There's plenty of eye candy here but the design is all about the branding and marketing objective of displaying each student property to its full advantage.
Scripps Clinic
 The beach theme reflects Scripps's marketing practice of advertising the location of the hospital (La Jolla, CA) as one of it's selling points to convince researchers to come to Scripps to do their work.
Canopus Branding
 I was responsible for the consistent branding for the company internationally. I created all the collateral pieces that were then disseminated to the other countries for translation and any size conversions. My goal was make a cohesive look and carry it through all the collateral, packaging and web plus draw more attention to the company name. By drawing consumer attention to the company name it would allow the popular products to bring recognition to the rest of the line.
AA Self Check-in User Experience
 The Use Case Flower is the illustration I created to end many discussions where others tried to tell me that all the use cases work in order sequentially just like railroad tracks. Not only did I squash that idea forever, the flower is now the starting point for introducing newcomers to the process flow for this particular software application. The ITPMO for this department loves the flower as a teaching tool! The main tech lead requested that I hot link the use cases directly to the illustration.
I'm a graphic designer, production manager, web designer, usability expert and marketing guru all in one creative package! When it comes to design, I've done everything at least once!
I understand that design's function is to support the message and branding for each client. I make it my goal to make sure that each piece I design communicates the client's goals to its intended target audience. It has been my experience that consistency in image and message is the key to great branding.
I've been in design so long that good design has come back in fashion! It's now rebranded as Usability and PET. I've been doing it all along, I just have a new vocabulary for it now.
I've been a fine artist and a graphic designer for over sixteen years. I do freelance graphic design, illustration and web design. I specialize in corporate branding and Photoshop "anything and everything"! You can view a my resume.
I have a knack for understanding the branding image that the client wants to present to his (or her) audience. I also research each industry extensively to “get into the mind” of my client. If I can understand the big picture, then I can advise my client on better design choices that will meet current and future needs. My work at Canopus Corporation in San Jose, CA is an excellent example of my branding work.
This web site contains portfolio samples from my graphic/web design work, jewelry designs and my fine art work. I do freelance work as well.
This site is a perpetual work in progress (Aren't they all!). Please email me with feedback or if you find any errors! In case you're wondering, I've streamlined the navigation menu but most of the older pages are still available from the drop down menu.
Enjoy! |
