This is the site for my freelance tech support business, Pogo IT. I started by creating the logo, and then I carried the colors and curves throughout the rest of the site. I wanted a clean, simple appearance to reflect my goals with the business. I used some images from iStockphoto to balance the text as well as some more modern design elements to accent the layout.

This site was created in collaboration with Richard Gonyeau of Label 11, another exciting chance to work directly with a designer in creating a new site. We wanted to create something that would look nice but remain incredibly simple to update, so we decided to go with an iframe design. The outer frame lends a cohesive and professional appearance to the relatively plain inner pages. Thanks to CSS and a creative menu system from A List Apart, we were able to keep the HTML extremely basic for easy updating. Visit the site »

This page was put together for my friend's annual gaming party. Since the focus that year was mainly on war games, I used that as my inspiration for the colors and design. I wanted to establish an identity for the party, so I also came up with the logo design, which is a play off of E3 (the annual gaming expo.) The logo was used in banner ads that he put on friends' web sites to draw more visibility to the event. It was a huge success and a lot of fun! Visit the site »

I created this site for Layla Cady, a designer based in Boston. As a designer, she already had a particular style in mind, including the layout, colors, and font selections. She sent me detailed layouts for each page drawn by hand, which I converted to web pages. This is a good example of how I can work with specific requirements to create a site that matches your expectations.

This was the original design for my personal site after college. It used elements from my Clarkson site, as well as some of the other sites I designed previously. It utilized a database backend and template frontend which I used as an opportunity to learn PHP. Visit the site »

This is a site I created for my aunts' gift basket business. It has a clean and unobtrusive appearance that was designed to have a broad appeal. This site gave me the opportunity to try something a little different and more elegant.

This site is for my friend's massage therapy business. I chose more vibrant, earthy colors that were inspired in part by his office. I think they suit his energetic disposition and professional nature. Visit the site »

I created this site when I was working in the Stator Center of Excellence at GE Power Systems. The design is fairly plain, but not boring. It was designed for speed and ease of use - all the pages are within one click of each other. I adapted portions of this design into my personal site.

This site was designed to centralize all of the safety information for the Stator area at GE. I wanted the design to be unique, so I decided on a distressed paint appearance using colors from the manufacturing shop. It was designed to be easily recognizable, with a sort of "brand identity" that we carried beyond the screen and onto bulletin boards in the shop to help promote the site. I like this design but felt it wasn't appropriate for the topic, so this site was eventually redesigned when the Stator COE site was created.

This was my personal web site that I designed in college. It ended up as more of a research project in web development, and I was pleased with the design at the time, and I carried many of the concepts and design choices into my subsequent designs. Visit the site »

This was my original concept for my site redesign. I really like the techno punk look (and this was before The Matrix was even released!) Unfortunately, I found it to be too dark on some screens, and it has some design and compatibility issues that made me scrap the design for something better. It was a great learning experience and it got me really interested in web design. Visit the site »
