Pond Mobile is a simple way of buying cellphone access when you are flying internationally. They sell you a new sim for your device at a flat fee. The typical business traveler doesn’t need to get a new phone anymore and can just get down to business with technology they already know.
I created a series of web designs that built off their strong logo and brand. A very simple web experience to show their users how simple their technology is to use.

Corks n’ Crowns, a wine tasting room down near the Sterns Wharf in Santa Barbara, asked me to design a new website for them and to build it on WordPress.
If you go into the tasting room you’ll see that there are a lot of dark woods and interesting textures that exude a high level feeling and brand. The wines they select for their wine club every month are well thought out and made sure they mesh well with their clientele. I tried to make the website design reflect that and show off their wonderful wines and beers.
If you are ever downtown and are looking for a good place to try new and different wines check out Corks n’ Crowns – ( Map here ).

I was recently asked to build a brand for the disaster restoration company, DriExpress, from the ground up. The idea was to enhance the image of an already established company but to further show they are leaders in their respective market. They wanted to be thought of as the “UPS” of disaster restoration equipment. That when you called for an industrial grade air mover to a dehumidifier you would get it shipped to you right when you needed it most.

Earlier this year I created a fresh new blog for Santa Barbara Jeweler Calla Gold. This was only put into place temporarily while her old site was redesigned to go along with the new blog.
While the blog was to introduce the world to Calla’s writings about jewelry and the jewelry industry. The full site is to show off everything else she does with jewelry, notably create it. My biggest goal and design direction was to build the site around the beautiful photography she has taken of every custom piece she creates.
She creates beautiful custom jewelry so please go check out her site.

I created a new visual brand, ebook cover design and website design for Paul Foster, aka The Business Therapist. Paul Foster is an award winning business consultant and accountant. He wanted to build a brand and “digital presence” around his business advice and coaching support to small business owners. After talking with Paul on multiple occasions I really came to respect his thoughts on small business, in which I have even taken away some helpful advice for mine.
He wanted something different than what the stereotypical accountant offers. He has a warm and interesting personality and likes to give out 4 leaf clovers to his clients. I developed a few different brand directions for him but everyone easily gravitated to this design since it fit his personality the best.

This was one of the most interesting WordPress installs I’ve done. I upped my WordPress knowledge and PHP programming skills on this site quite a bit. I am very proud of it.
