I have been very lucky to have worked with actress and comedian Julia Sweeney for several years. We recently redesigned her site to reflect the exciting new projects she’s working on. In March, you can find her playing Aidy Bryant’s mother on the new Hulu show, Shrill. And when she’s not filming, she performs solo shows around the country.

We used some of the fantastic photography taken at Chicago’s The Second City theater for the redesign and integrated video and an dynamic events page where you can browse upcoming shows and buy tickets.

Karen Wickre is a former Google exec, editorial director or Twitter, and self-described introvert. Her upcoming book, Taking the Work Out of Networking, offers advice to introverts for connecting in an extroverted world.

To coincide with the book’s publication, Karen wanted a site to not only promote her new book, but to showcase her writing, experience, and available services. Aesthetically clean the site gets straight to the point in both design and content.

I recently designed the site for Rowboat Wood. A Seattle-based artist, Emma Catherine Potter’s work is unique, meticulously crafted, and utterly stunning. Each piece is tooled by hand from reclaimed and rare wood, alternating colored stains with the beauty of natural wood. Of course I have my own piece, which perfectly suits our woodsy, PNW home.

Purple House Press rescues beloved out-of-print children’s books from the 1920s and 1990s and makes them available for today’s families. They currently have more than 70 books available on their site, and have sold more than 500,000 copies since they opened in 2000.

The client came to me looking to redesign their site, allowing the design to reflect the classic artwork from the books, and make the entire site experience clean and streamlined, especially the book search and shopping. The site is built in WordPress, with a WooCommerce cart.

I’ve worked with the fine folks from Sage Health Strategy for years. So long that it was high time for a redesign.

Elyse Forkosh Cutler founded the firm in 2012 after working in the healthcare industry for years, and being regularly disappointed by the consultants she hired. This women-run business provides its clients with insight into how to improve their revenue, reputation, and relationships.

The People’s Music School offers underserved Chicago students with an intensive education focused around music. This school came to me looking to redesign their existing site. They wanted to not only improve the design, but position it as a tool to educate Chicago families, connect with the local music community, and garner support through public engagement. We paired stunning black-and-white photography with vibrant color to bring the school and its mission to life online. Absolutely loved working with the team at this school.

I’ve worked with Amy Menken Nobile and Trisha Ashworth for nearly 10 years, and am thrilled to have built the site for their newest book. We worked together on their previous books exploring motherhood and marriage. Their newest book on reimagining midlife is right up my alley. Smart, funny, and wise, I highly recommend it to all my fellow sisters “of a certain age.” Join the conversation on We are Perennials.
