Lulu & Lattes

Amy at Lulu & Lattes wanted to keep it simple, and I love that. So we did strong colors and fonts with clean lines and bold features.

Maria Marlowe
February 12, 2014
Maria’s website is so striking thanks to a high-contrast color palette. Her logo as well as some text in her headers and sidebars were custom lettered using a graphics tablet which I love to work with. I think my favorite part of her site though, is the scrolling testimonials in the red bar half-way down her homepage. Check it out…
The Fashionable Hostess
February 12, 2014
Amanda already had a beautiful blog, greatly thanks to the superb quality of her photographs. She came to me looking to spruce it up a bit, and I think we came out with some very striking results! Visit her blog at FashionableHostess.com.
Five tools I can’t design without, and two more I like a lot
November 5, 2013
I like to write code. A website is very much like a puzzle, and all the pieces have to fit together just so. The stakes are reasonably high, I mean no one’s gonna die (disclaimer: I don’t know that for certain) but one missing back-slash and your site goes totally blank. Erase the wrong thing and you can be looking…
Sweet Booths
October 3, 2013
Here’s another beautiful design by Sullivan and 3rd! Erin, the designer, is always pushing my development skills to the limit with her concepts. Can you believe she did ALL that text by hand? It took me forever just to get the header and other hand drawn details on
Presenting Whole Foodie Booty
October 1, 2013
I finally took the plunge and bought a graphics tablet, which has enabled me to start doing fun stuff like the custom text on this website! Whole Foodie Booty is a new project by Shannon Brennan Cressey, and it’s been a lot of fun to work on. Not only did I get to create a hand-drawn logo, but I also…
Presenting Amsterdam Tavern
September 20, 2013
So I was checking out the website of my favorite neighborhood restaurant and bar, Amsterdam Tavern, and noticed that they had Lorem Ipsum (dummy text) on their LIVE website still. Being ever helpful, I offered to do a few touch-ups to the site for free in exchange for a discount. I ended up doing a full rebuild, and getting a…
Working Vacations – the Do’s and Don’ts
August 8, 2013
So I’ve just ostensibly returned from vacation. Or rather, I’m on my way back (I’m literally on a train using the “wifi” that “works”). Since I’ve got this fancy work-from-home job, I took my work with me. I just checked my hours for the last two weeks, and they were surprisingly high. I’m pleasantly surprised and also a little distressed….
Welcome to My New Website!
July 20, 2013
I know one person who’s relieved this new site layout is launched: my boyfriend. The poor guy has been dealing with this all month: Him: “Wanna do something fun?” Me: “No. Website.” After which I would proceed to work until 4 am and then not get enough sleep and be grouchy and mean. But now that it’s launched, I have…
Dangerfones
July 16, 2013
Funny story: my little brother didn’t ask for a blog, but now he has one because I built this and foisted it upon him. If you head to Dangerfones, he may not even have written on it. His Twitter handle is “Dangerfones” though, and it always made me think of this phone ringing graphic, so I made it: And then…
