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.
Please comment and let me know what you think.

I designed a new website & WordPress blog for Lorrie Thomas’s speaking engagements: The Marketing Therapist.
The website is for Lorrie Thomas’s speaking promotion. Lorrie is a local Santa Barbara web marketer who handles many clients from the small business to the multi-national. She has a unique marketing philosophy and can definitely help your company’s presence on the web.
Check out Lorrie’s new site and watch her videos here.
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.

Recently I designed and built a WordPress blog for a local Santa Barbara Jeweler, CallaGold Jewelry.
Calla Gold is an actual jewelry artist. She molds precious metals and jewels into something distinct and catered for the wearer. When talking with her you can easily tell she loves the work she does and you can see that in her writing and how she engages her clients. So I built her a custom WordPress blog where she can write about her jewelryand that in the end develops her a strong brand as a custom jewelry craftswoman.
Please check out Calla’s website and read her blog.
As usual please comment and let me know what you think.
In collaboration with Web Marketing Therapy.

I was asked by a friend to design a wine label for the “No on T” fundraiser. This is what I came up with for him. As usual please comment to let me know what you think.
It’s funny since I dont smoke marijuana, I’m not a “pothead” and don’t have too many friends who even do anymore. I still feel it should be a right of ours to have. If you want more information on the “No on measure T” cause in Santa Barbara check out their Facebook Page

Say hello to my first ever iPhone app design. Growponics is a application that helps you with all the things that you have to monitor when you grow gardens hydroponically. This is only an aesthetic exploration while the application is being programmed. We are hoping to release a first version by the end of the year but I wanted to put this out there and see what people have to say.
