I like doing web design for non-profits whenever I can, because supporting good work in the community? That’s pretty awesome. This particular non-profit web site was a pretty ambitious project: I did a full WordPress redesign of their web site, and also built them a Members-Only login area, and helped set them up to run […]
Keeping your social networking and blog active for your business can be pretty tough–finding the time to create the content is hard enough, and a busy day or week might make your blog update drop off of the To-Do List. Worse yet, you might have a billion ideas one week, and be drawing a blank […]
Roller derby is a growing sport, and it needs good design to keep growing and gaining respect in the sports community… and, as a derby skater, I’m definitely happy to be contributing to that effort! I was approached for some logo design advice by Beater Venkman of the Stateline Derby Divas, for her new online […]
I can safely say that my involvement with the PGC3 was sparked by my passion for web design and making things look awesome online: basically, while working with my noble compatriot Kenna of GeekPortland on fancying up her Portland geek events calendar, I took a peek at the Portland Geek Council of Commerce and Culture’s […]
Logo design for Portland small businesses is one of my great loves, so I feel disappointed when the big-fish companies don’t get it right. Case in point? The new DC Comics logo. DC Comics’ logo redesign has met with, well, mixed reviews, to put it mildly. DC Comics dropped their new brand identity on an […]
This flyer design project was so exciting that it was hard for me to keep from announcing it right away, and Alyson of Clair Vintage Inspired felt the same way, but now we can both spread the word: we’re joining forces and reviving her pet food drive for a second year! We’ll be collecting donations […]
I’ve been a graphic designer and web designer for quite a few years, so I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about color. I recently helped present at a workshop about marketing–hosted by MercyCorps Northwest in downtown Portland–and one of the questions we were asked was, “does the psychology of color matter when designing your […]
What do we want? JUSTICE! That’s especially true this weekend, because omjesus, it’s WFTDA Championships in Denver. I’m one of the sad, sad people who doesn’t get to see it in person, but I’ll be transforming into a rabid fangirl, “checking my scores” at the brunch table, and (gasp!) WATCHING SPORTS IN A BAR. I […]
The Christmas shopping and decor is already hitting stores, but I’d rather call this the season for helping out a good cause. When Jen Barth at Big Small Brands asked me about creating a custom logo design for her upcoming nationwide campaign, I dove into Adobe Illustrator, and came out a few hours later with […]
I love getting inspired by custom web site design, and when the inspiration is one of my favorite things ever–namely, roller derby–I’m basically dancing a jig. If you’ve been watching my Twitter feed over the past few weeks, then you know that Portland’s Rose City Rollers are hosting this year’s WFTDA West Region Playoffs, otherwise […]
