you know a true web designer is busy when they never have time to work on their *own* websites. this has been the case for several years on my personal blog, everymoment.org. so i finally had to make myself my own client, and boy, am i a terrible client to work for! hah! this design was started several months ago, and i wasn’t completely happy with it so it sat, unfinished, until i could spend the hours tweaking it until i was satisfied. the format needed to be flexible enough to support both text/picture blog entries, as well as video podcasts. i also needed a place to aggregate all my social media output throughout the web. alas.. every moment 3.0’s design finally comes to life (and finally the client is happy. *whew*
)
just some samples
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)
for someone involved with creating and producing video and new media content, it’s crucial to have a site to display that in a simple, yet interesting way. I met Rachael Joy through the video social networking portion of seesmic.com, and later was approached with the job of creating an online portfolio to display her work. Rachael really enjoyed the dramatic, yet simple layout of tracyapps.org. The simple layout of this site provides a great canvas to display, and not distract from, the videos that Rachael produces and/or hosts. Best wishes on your continued success, Rachael! (also, if any of you need a host or a producer for web, tv or both go check out her stuff… it’s great!)
i not only had the opportunity to attend the ELCA’s “global missions event” in 2006, but was also hired as videographer, photographer, newsletter fixer-upper, computer and printer-fixer, extension cord go-getter, etc.
it was really a great time and i had the opportunity to meet and learn from people all over the world. people from many cultures brought their songs, dance and stories. the event even included very “eye opening” moments for the everyday US churchgoer. here is a little video i put together to re-cap the week-long GME and why people should attend.
