April 23, 2009 – Just launched a website for AFSCME, one of the largest unions in the U.S. It was a fairly quick turnaround project built in ExpressionEngine which makes the site easy for the client to update.

I also designed a Facebook application for the American Cancer Society. It was my first time working on a Facebook app and I enjoyed the challenge in figuring out the flow of the application.

Besides some ongoing work with the Clinton Foundation, I have two other websites under development and will post those as soon as they're live.

March 31, 2009 – I'd been working on an iPhone app on the side, but it's been put on hold due to new client projects. One of them is for one of the largest unions in the U.S. and the schedule has been pretty aggressive, but the design process is going pretty well. I'll be entering the ExpressionEngine phase soon and launch will be in less than two weeks.

I've also got two Wordpress websites that are in the design phase and have also been working on the interface for a Facebook application. It's good to stay busy, especially with the way things are going with the economy.

March 16, 2009 – I've been pretty busy with new projects. One I just completed was for a company called waffl that will be launching in the near future. I've added their logo to the identity section and will post website designs once the project launches. I had a great time working on that project.

I've also been working on some identity and website design for a conservancy in California and a few big projects are on the horizon.

January 13, 2009 – I've been making progress on learning Textpattern, which I think I'm going to consider using on client projects. It's not as powerful as ExpressionEngine, but it's pretty flexible, has all or most of the features that my clients would need. There are quite a few plugins for it and even with them installed, it feels slimmer than ExpressionEngine. Plus, it's free and has a great community supporting it.

I'm also fiddling with the idea of creating iPhone optimized websites. If any of my clients would like to create a slimmed down version of their website for the iPhone (with the option to view the full website), please get in touch.

Currently taking on new projects, so please email me if interested in talking about your needs.

January 6, 2009 – Happy New Year! The website has been cleaned up and I've made some slight adjustments to the sizing of the screenshots in the portfolio. I've also changed some of the screens to better represent some of the work I've done.

I'm still adding a few new things to the website; looking into getting the site into a CMS. It was running on ExpressionEngine, but I'm looking into Textpattern, an open source free solution.

Project-wise, over the holidays, I was working with the Madera Group to push out a few emails for the Clinton Foundation. It's been great working with them and I'm happy to be helping the Foundation's causes.

December 18, 2008 – I've been reorganizing the structure of the website to allow for larger screens and a more balanced layout. I've also created a news section that will also contain previous news.

The one area that I'm still working on is getting the portfolio images to be accurately sized since I increased the width. You may notice a few little bugs, but the screenshots will be viewable and the functionality still works fine, but will look slightly skewed.

Currently, I'm wrapping up a few projects, getting ready for the holidays and spending more time with family. The new year will bring new focus.

December 4, 2008 – Since my studio works mostly with nonprofits, I've relaunched my website with projects focused on those clients.

I'm still adding a few new projects and tweaking the functionality of the website, but wanted to put more focus on my portfolio, with the addition of email campaigns that I work on.

I also take on full content management system (CMS) websites where I partner up with a small, trusted group of developers.

Please email me if you are interested in hearing more about my design process or want to discuss pricing for a project.
