westminster.net

As a leader among independent schools, Westminster needed a site as innovative as they are. 

A filterable story element, space to showcase programs, and multiple re-usable structures to feature photography and video allows Westminster to share their offerings with prospective students. While the site is primarily focused on external audiences, current families appreciate quick access to news and events through a slide-out panel on the homepage.

The Kitschen Store is Baltimore's future home for cooking supplies and culinary classes. I created a logo and a set of fun patterns to get their branding started. 

vanguard.edu

The top priority for Vanguard’s new site was to eliminate confusion over their different degree tracks. With different applications and inquiry processes for traditional undergrad, graduate, and professional studies students, they needed a clear way for students to see which content was for them. I designed a site with three separate entry points that lets their fresh, Californian atmosphere shine through.

The bands' energy and woven sounds are reflected in this colorful screenprinted poster. The venue, Current Space's courtyard, is home to an incredible paulownia tree that grows strait out of the asphalt and whose giant leaves frame their outdoor events.

Sidwell Friends is a prestigious, highly academic, Quaker school in Washington, DC.

While consulting on-site with the school, the importance of their Quaker values surfaced in every major meeting. My resulting approach makes these values transparent through custom elements and pages.

pingry.org

Throughout Pingry’s site, first-person narratives, quick facts, and videos are tied together with bright colors and animated lines. We used the structure “Pingry Scholars,” “Pingry Artists,” “Pingry Athletes,” etc. throughout the site giving viewers an intimate look inside the school.

lakesideschool.org

Students are Lakeside are engaged and self-motivated. I designed the site to be less linear and more open-ended in response. For example, on their hero image, users can select from a dropdown to see expanded content on a subject they care about, rather than simply rotating through a carousel of slides. 

Because Lakeside's students are readers, we didn't want to misrepresent their messaging with over-simplified content. Instead, I created an interesting framework for long-form text with photography and video interspersped.

After designing their main site, I had the pleasure of designing this fun summer microsite for Lawrence School. As a school for students with learning differences, we wanted to dispel any potential myths and show big, beautiful images of students against a modern, color-changing background. 

Since the site launched, Lawrence has seen a 74% increase in summer applications.

Jackson County Public Schools' site needed to show parents how their schools stand up against the local private and charter schools. Both marketing (student stories and and a virtual tour design) and internal efforts, (custom calendars and detailed navigations) were important to their project's success.  

Since this design needed to work district-wide, I created a visual structure flexible enough to work with a huge range of content and each of the nine school's color schemes.

A modern, energetic site for a cutting-edge school. Many schools claim "academic excellence," so I set up opportunities within the design for Lausanne to prove it through college matriculation, statistics, and specific stories.

For B.I.N.G.O., Current Space was transformed into a post-modern bingo hall. I was among a group of 24 artists invited to design a bingo card. 

I based my design on ariel views of agricultural fields, which have always fascinated me. 

themonumentquilt.org 

The Monument Quilt stiches together the stories of thousands of survivors of rape and abuse, creating a culture of public support.   

I designed their site in 2014, as part of year-long volunteer designer position. It needed to be flexible enough to grow with the project and be easy for their many volunteers to update within the CMS.

Since launching the site, I've created a variety of additional visual assets for the project.
