RECENT SITES
5g Accounting - website, logo, and branding (2011)
5g Accounting is a brand-new virtual accounting firm in Toledo, Ohio. After consulting with the co-founders on their digital strategies, vendors, and capabilities, I created a striking, simple logo and branding.
The website, which is still in early development stages, will act as both a brochure site and a dashboard for existing clients. The design features some light CSS3 touches and a jQuery carousel for the sub-pages of the Solutions section.

Impact Communications - Kiosk Builder, brochure website (2011)
Impact Communications needed a simple, one-page brochure site for their new Kiosk Builder product. They had a handful of images, a logo, and a short video that they were hoping to make playable on all devices, including iPhones and iPads.
I designed and coded a clean, simple layout with their existing imagery and branding, and then I took advantage of the Video for Everybody JavaScript to create an HTML5 video player with a flash fallback option. Finally, I encoded their video into WebM, MP4, and Ogg Theora formats to optimize playback on different browsers.

Impact Communications - company website (2009)
While working full-time at Impact Communications, I created a new company website to showcase some modern and exciting approaches to web design.
The resulting site used modern CSS, PNG transparency, jQuery, lightboxes, and a Flash piece that pulled data from an XML file.

City Breathing - website redesign for new EP launch (2009)
Brooklyn-based indie rockers City Breathing needed a microsite to promote their new EP. The group was releasing a limited number of CDs encased in recycled 5.25" floppy discs, but the bulk of its distribution was designed to be in the digital realm. They contacted me hoping I could match the aesthetic and feel of their limited physical packages. I designed the webpage around an image of a floppy disk and added a simple Flash player and a vintage ’80s label.

Infinite Number of Sounds Recording Company -digital music storefront (2009)
I co-founded INS Recording Company in 2003 as an outlet to release CDs by my band and related musical projects. We released five physical CDs before moving to the digital realm for most future releases. Therefore, we were able to expand our release schedule and open our distribution to additional groups. I developed the technical aspects of the label, including building the new digital storefront.
After researching several different possibilities, I decided to use the CubeCart shopping cart system and modify it to suit our needs. We release a standard and deluxe version of every album. The standard option is available on a sliding scale basis and is comprised of lower-bitrate MP3 files. The $7 deluxe version of each album is encoded at the maximum quality MP3 bitrate and includes bonus material. I had to solve several other technical difficulties created by this consumer flexibility. The label has released 17 digital albums by 10 different groups.
