Greg Bennett’s day job is a senior design director for Baltimore, MD-based Siquis Ltd. But for the past 11 years, Bennett has been ramping up his personal portfolio that he calls WORKtoDATE, a collection of stunning, visually driven work that includes branding, corporate identity, print and interactive design, packaging and conceptual illustration. Here’s the profile I wrote on him for HOW.

HarperOne came to me with a unique project. They wanted to create a site that would help them better communicate with their audience. A blog wasn’t what they were looking for—rather, they wanted a site that would solicit subscriptions for a full-featured newsletter, and act as a static resource for past newsletters. As an incentive for signing up, they offered a free book giveaway. I created both a long form and announcement version of the newsletter using Campaign Monitor, so staff could easily send out newsletters through Campaign Monitor’s Web interface.

Andy Jusick is a Chicago-based advertising executive and illustrator who has dreamed of writing a children’s book his entire life. When that dream became a reality, he asked me to build a site for him that would help bring his books’ characters to life.

The site design for 510 Families has been one of my all-time favorite projects. The site comes from the Rookie Moms, who used the success of their inaugeral site to create this site, which provides a comprehensive list of fun things for families of the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. I love how it all came together, and not just because it involves some of my old haunts.

I had so much fun designing the site for Saugatuck, MI-based Harbor Ducks. This 30-foot amphibious vessel can handle both land or sea. The look of this site (with a custom design on a WordPress platform) is playful, while incorporating scenic shots by local photographers. We turned around this site launch on a tight deadline to make it far in advance of the busy Spring/Summer tourist season.

Almost three years ago, I designed a site for Dr. Lauren Streicher, who is one of the most well-known OB-GYNs in the country. Lauren asked me to update her site with video from her ample media reel. I had the videos converted and integrated them into the existing site. The result is a site with a greater emphasis on the different media that Lauren has contributed to.

About a year and a half ago, I redesigned the site for the Atlanta-based Pilates studio, Studio Lotus. At the time, they were using Adobe Contribute to do site updates. But they decided to migrate the site to WordPress platform to make managing dynamic site content even easier. We created a custom calendar that allowed them to easily manage class schedules for the different studios, and a dynamic contact form that streamlined the communication process with clients.

The Affiliated Physicians of Suite 118 is a group of board-certified internists on the faculty at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern. While these doctors practice independently, they share a an office and resources. They wanted a site that would cut down on calls to the front desk, by offering answers to frequently asked questions, downloadable forms, interactive maps, and contact information.

Stephens Studio is a Carlsbad, CA-based graphic design and marketing company who needed an online prescence to promote their business. They designed their site themselves and had me build it for them. The site utilizes dynamic PHP pages to serve up their work by category. Thumbnails shuffle on the homepage to rotate through their work. And using a Javascript rotation, the images on the homepage cycle through their message.
