Here are select links to websites I’ve worked on, as well as an overview of my involvement on each project.
Joaquin Miller Elementary School
 Joaquin Miller’s website had outgrown its structure over the years, making its wealth of content difficult to navigate and find. I completely reorganized and redesigned the site to meet modern standards and reflect the school’s vibrant community. Features include a Google Calendar, allowing the parent community to subscribe to events via mobile device, and a WordPress powered School News blog.
Mary and Sara — Cooking Thymes Two
 Authors of 8 cookbooks, with over a million books sold, identical twins Mary Corpening Barber and Sara Corpening Whiteford share their passion for cooking healthy foods, entertaining, recipes and tips, as well as scrumptious excerpts from their best selling books on their new blog and site. I designed and developed everything from the ground up, including the WordPress blog and its coordinating YouTube channel, Facebook fan page, and Twitter account.
McRoskey Mattress Company
 Having celebrated its 110th anniversary of handcrafting mattresses and box springs in San Francisco, it was time for McRoskey Mattress Company to freshen their website to better reflect the quality and history that goes into every McRoskey mattress. At Placemaking Group, I designed and developed the site’s new look and created its coordinating YouTube channel and Twitter account, as well as an upgraded email newsletter design.
At Home with Malcolm and Nora
Winner of a 2008 Bronze Horizon Interactive Award, this family photo blog utilizes Flickr’s image hosting and Blogger’s tools to update the site. RSS subscriptions may be received as an email blast.
Streetside Stories
 This design, created pro bono for the Taproot Foundation, won a Bronze Horizon Interactive Award in 2007. The site includes a blog with an RSS feed, social bookmarking and blog-roll features, an online store, embedded video anthology previews, and more.
How to Be Like Colin Greenwood
— in Ten Easy Steps
 Hailed by Q Magazine as a “terrific on-line tribute” and by Pitchfork.com as “an appropriately classy fansite,” this Radiohead fan site won a Silver Horizon Interactive Award in 2007, and has twice been voted into the BT Digital Music Awards People’s Choice for Best Music Blog Top 50. It utilizes social bookmarking as a means of promotion, as well as Flickr’s image hosting and blogging tools for maintenance.
