This app concept, modeled using Material Design standards, is a universal food database where users can weed out foods they cannot eat to create a personalized database of ingredients they can eat. A user can search for friendly foods for themselves, or they could plan a menu around other friends’ dietary restrictions. Users can eliminate individual foods or groupings such as "gluten" or "dairy-free". By aligning to Google search standards, users are aided with auto-complete, suggested terms, and thumbnail images of the actual food. Once foods are eliminated, users can view search results categorized into individual ingredients, recipes made from those ingredients, or entire meal suggestions. Foods are categorized into type (vegetable, fruit, dairy, protein, carb), course (main course, side dish, dessert), or time of day (breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, snack). From here users can make their own lists, for instance saving their favorite ingredients to a recurring shopping list, making a meal plan for the week, or saving ideas for later.

UpSync needed help revamping their website so that it was easy to find by potential customers via Google, and that clearly explained the purpose of the product. They found users were arriving on the home page, but they didn’t click in deeper to learn more about the product. My solution included a full visual redesign, a new page for “Features & Pricing” which offered a way for users to learn more before requesting a demo, and guidance on SEO in terms of heading use, copy, and page descriptions. Views and clicks on the site more than quadrupled within a week of launching the new design.

Hosted is a side project I have been working on in part to practice prototyping with mobile UI patterns, and partly because I can’t help but invent applications I wish I had. Modern day event planning tools are too narrowly focused on specific events, and they don't integrate with existing tools, such as address books and CRMs. Hosted is an app that lets users design events as easily as making an Instagram post.

This is a responsive one page website concept I designed for a company that provides golf, baseball and softball lessons to children in the Boulder area. This site was built from scratch in HTML5 and CSS3, but it uses many of the same techniques for responsiveness as resources like Bootstrap.

After the company outgrew Wordpress, I designed the interface and organization of a new website built from scratch in HTML5 and CSS3. I created the information architecture for the site, wrote much of the copy, produced wireframes and mockups for all the pages, and created the iconography and visuals for the final site. I worked closely with developers to implement my vision for the site animations and CSS, and I gave instruction on SEO.

This is a landing page concept I created and developed in Squarespace for a company based in Colorado Springs, CO. They needed a CMS that could easily be updated and offer their services to their customers. Their new site provided them with an organized view of their services, a friendly “About” page, and an updated service request form.

This updated service request form offered Mountain Metrology with a freshly designed form that was clear to the user and matched the updating visual design used on their website. Form headers were made bolder and easier to read, and examples were provided to instruct the user how to fill it out. Lastly, an email address was provided in the form so they could submit it either by clicking a button, or uploading it into an email to send manually.

KittySweatshirts.com is a pet project of mine, started in 2014. I custom-paint images of cats onto sweatshirts, and I created this portfolio site in Squarespace to showcase my work. This shows part of the landing page and Galaxy Cat, the first of my cozy feline masterpieces.
