I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with FLOR on their user interface and design. This is a homepage animation I designed for them. The goal was to create a dynamic demonstration of how individual tiles and adhesive dots easily assemble into beautiful, unique rugs. The animation is built in jQuery and designed to be easily updated with each new catalog that is launched.

As bread and wine are two of my favorite things, I was thrilled to work on the Web site for this new Chicago neighborhood bistro. The site was designed using a WordPress template that allows the owners to easily manipulate the menu, send newsletters, and edit information as their opening day approaches. I was so bowled over by their menu, that I negotiated partial payment in trade.

I just loved working with the folks from The Euphrates Institute. This nonprofit is dedicated to bridging cultural gaps and misunderstandings between the US and the Middle East in the wake of 9/11. They wanted a site that brought together their work, but also inspired other students and individuals to participate in their movement. Using lush photography against a minimalist background, the site brings together a lot of information beautifully.
