Hipsters like to go camping too! Alite Designs, a start-up based in San Francisco, designs cool and functional gear for the ironic outdoorsperson. Alite’s deadline, however, was anything but apathetic: after creative was approved I was required to build a custom WordPress theme from scratch in exactly one week. After a few late nights I had pulled it off like a pair of girl jeans and non-prescription eyeglasses.

HablaCentro is a Spanish-language news portal that aggregates content from it’s hub citizen-journalist sites: HablaHonduras, HablaGuate, HablaElSalvador, HablaVenezuela and HablaCostaRica. The Habla project is a collaboration between myself, a Swedish programming ninja and a bleeding edge Guatemalan journalista. The site receives thousand of visits a day and allows Latin American journalists and citizens to anonymously publish and consume news without fear of government censorship or retribution. North American servers FTW!

evolve24 is a business analytics and research firm specializing in the measurement of perception, reputation and risk. I completely redesigned their site, put it on a CMS (Content Management System) and replaced their old Flash animations with more lightweight, accessible jQuery. The new site received a sizable lift in traffic, valuable lead generation via white paper registration and increased email inquiries from potential new customers.

Accera, a privately held biotechnology company, contracted me to design and develop a website for Lost & Found- a campaign to raise awareness, provide information and drive donations to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA). Per the client’s request, a graphical, interactive submission box was developed (powered by a MySQL database) to tally the number of items a visitor may have lost that day. The counter encourages the user to consider the challenges of AD, and also provides a creative way to submit a donation.

Hifn designs, develops and markets security and compression processors. They contracted my agency to perform extensive discovery, positioning and redesign of their online presence. My design responded to many different business requirements, functional considerations and a deep understanding of the discovery conducted by our marketing team, copywriters and the client’s own strategy. The rotating “billboard” area at the top of the page is an exciting and effective method of communicating high-level messaging and was well received by the client.
