i have been working at designing and creating the web for over 12 years. after over nine years of working with clients on projects of all sizes, here is a small collection of my work. to filter the entries by project type, please select a category below.
One day i got an email via facebook asking if i would play the drums on the main stage at milwaukee’s pridefest. Of course i agreed and met Emily White shortly after, when she dropped off two CDs for me to practice with. After a quick “talk through” of the songs the morning before going on stage, this was our first official time playing together as a trio. the following video is a collection of raw video captured by the official Pridefest videographer (and my good friend) Jessica Janiuk. And i would be that girl drummer making all the strange faces while playing (and ps, go check out Emily White’s music. she is very talented and a joy to play music with)
bands need good marketing pieces that can easily be identified as “theirs.” i’ve had the privilege of creating nearly every piece of fuller still’s band marketing. this upcoming concert poster and press kit follow very closely to the design of the cd and webpage.
since i have a lot of clients who are in the music industry, i have a lot of music-related photos sitting on my computer. these are two of my favorites and i have used them as textures, backgrounds and overlay effects for several projects.
a friend of mine (who goes by the name “ua”) wanted a simple cd insert for a cd he recorded himself. i modeled the design after his bare bones voice and guitar sound. i also really wanted to carry out that “hand made” feel of the cd production throughout the design as well.
since this is a place where i am dedicating to showcasing the “stuff i create”… it would be incomplete if i didn’t put some mention of my drumming. i need to find a good way to embed sound clips into wordpress, but for now i have some you tube videos of me playing drums with different groups. enjoy.
this is one of the many projects i did for a local milwaukee singer-songwriter, tammy ann winn. the goal was a simple one color tshirt design that was not “album-specific” so that she could sell these even after her next cd release. the client wanted a similar design as another client of mine, with the “sketchy outline” feel. several color combinations were created for reference.
the theme was “calm the storm”, and instead of doing a stereotypical display of “storm”, i decided to create this cd cover (and the design on the cd itself) using only text.
