Maria Lewis

The only clear instructions I received for this site were, “Just make it punk rock.”

For the portfolio page, I brushed all the background imagery to the bottom of the page to make room for the slides – the metaphorical clearing of the desk when the work is finished.

The visual design quite literally mirrors the artist’s messy studio environment as well as her influences.

Larsson United
larssonunited.com
Two artists with one public face. This site splits into dark and light versions – dark for Catarina who creates lamps, light for P–O who shows his sculptures and prints in stark gallery spaces.
-
Larsson United

As an exercise in madness, the design incorporates a fixed bottom navigation that works in Internet Explorer 6.

Larsson United

For both artists, part of my job was to keep everything out of the way of their work.

P–O’s light, gallery–like space reverses the contrast of Catarina’s page layout.

This wasn't an obvious choice, but the humanist quality of ITC Johnston suits the couple well.

Clifton Park Center
shopcpc.com
A colorful site for a colorful space. I wanted to make a mall site that avoided most of the usual, somewhat heavy–handed trends in shopping center sites. This site features lots of nice backend details for the client, such as a dynamic coupon creator.

Frostwriting

Although built on the same platform as Literary Bohemian, the magazine’s larger editorial team required a different, more collaborative way of building issues online. This problem was neatly solved with the help of ExpressionEngine, my CMS of choice.

Saratoga Builders Association

To help connect the sites I repeated the typography and basic background graphics. Working with the Gotham Rounded type family is pure pleasure.
-
Saratoga Showcase of Homes
saratogashowcaseofhomes.com
The second site of the pair needed a more lush treatment, one that mirrored the architectural styles represented within: ornaments, warm colors, wood and panels.
