Joel and crew are amazing. Go to DL for letterpress, design, to shop, and see art in their gallery, Negative Space.

A selection of websites I’ve designed, built or a combination of the two.
New CPMinc site coming up!
New website coming up! Love my hardhat clients :). But for now their old site still looks good.
Telegraph Oakland AKA Beeryland
Website design, updates and troubleshooting: photography and socials’ support and corraling. Telegraph aka Beeryland
Mr. Espresso Website
new ecommerce website in the works!
Birch, San Francisco’s Coolest Florist.
An upgrade for San Francisco’s coolest florist, Torryne Choate of birch. Keeping it simple and elegant, but integrating more elements, such as her fabulous instagram images.
Core Pilates and PT
I’ve enjoyed worked with Physical Therapist Julie over the years to develop her unique brand, and recently finished her website, including photos. She’s a very hands on client. :). http://corepilateson17th.com/
Santipapas Salsa!
Santipapas needed a rush website, since they were nominated for a grant from Whole Foods and already in the market at BiRite. Vote for Santipapas!
Tsunami Swim Team Website Build
Tsunami, a LBGT swim and synchronized swimming teams in San Francisco needed someone to build a fully responsive site in WordPress from a design that was created by b’stro. Although I usually work from my own designs, I loved B’stro’s layout and the fantastic photos available to work with. Link to site.
In Fiore
I love this site, and especially working with Julie Elliott, but it’s been pretty challenging getting all the inherited parts (Thesis-WordPress & Shopify-liquify) to work together. It’s tricky getting an online store to look good, but the quality of these products and photos makes it so much easier! In Fiore—if you live in San Francisco you need to check it out in person.
Putting the sexy back in Asbestos Remediation, he he.
I’ve done a lot of work for engineers over the years. I like organizing information that I know nothing about and making it understandable in layman’s terms. This project is for CPM Environmental, next I’m working on CPM’s over-all site. This is my first site using html 5, couldn’t use php on this installation. Responsive design!
In Vigilare for In Fiore
Just started working with Julie Elliott, of IN FIORI. If only computers had scratch and sniff technology :)
Reliquary Hayes Valley
One of my favorite contact pages. Eye contact! Leah Bershad’s truly one-of-a-kind store that you should go to— Reliquary on Octavia in Hayes Valley.
Nex Oakland
Just when I get the site redone (above) Nex changes and becomes part of Mua. Sigh.
NEX is the latest restaurant site created for San-ju and Hi-suk (Mua, Soizic, and Pastoral). I love working with them—creative, fluid, non-corporate aesthetic. Yay for that! (Also for the side benefits, he he) This site was built in WordPress so they can update menus, add photos, be “liked” on facebook, etc. I also help managing online reservations and marketing.
YR&G
A lot of new clients are Green or Mission Driven, which is cool. This site was with Windesheim Design for YR&G sustainability consultants based in NY.
Windesheim Redesign
Redesign of Windesheim Design’s website. We kept a lot of the same design elements but got rid of the Flash so that it would work mobile. We made it a WordPress site so that it would be easy for us to update. The photography is mine as well.
La Cocina Website
La Cocina, the incubator kitchen in the Mission in San Francisco, is one of Windesheim Design’s non-profit clients. Caleb Zigas came to us asking for a site that would get the information out to the community, integrate with social networking (twitter, facebook, youtube), sell product via paypal, translate, and be editable by volunteers. Whew. We used this project to develop a WordPress template that more of our other non-profits and small businesses could use. The site has been very successful—they have had so much traffic they had to up the capacity twice.
Dependable Letterpress Website
This site, built in wordpress for Joel Benson’s Dependable Letterpress, takes advantage of how easily new images and information can be uploaded by Joel and staff, and cross-linked to designers’ sites and in special cases, their clients.
Integral Group
Just launched Integral Group’s new website today, via Windesheim Design. Our most ambitious WordPress based yet (thematic with a custom child theme). It’s a clean design, easy to navigate and update projects internationally.
Update! We helped them become so successful they bought out other firms and now have an inhouse marketing department.
WE-ACTx Website
I recently had the pleasure of redesigning a website for WE-ACTx (through Windesheim Design). WE-ACTx is an organization that advocates for the health and well being of the women and children of Rwanda, post genocide. The site (wordpress) had to be completely reorganized and streamlined to make it as easy as possible for volunteers to update. Visually, the design challenge was to make the viewer feel a more personal connected to the women and children served.
CP-37 Website
This website is for Oakland artist CP-37. I’m including it here because even though it’s old in website years (5) I still think it works well with his art.
National AIDS Memorial at the Grove Website
The National AIDS Memorial Grove is another of Windesheim Design’s non-profit clients. We worked with director, John Cunningham, to create a site that could be updated by the organizations many volunteers and committees. One of my favorite moments as a designer was showing a group from NAMG how to update this wordpress site, and seeing collective lightbulbs going off over their heads as they got excited about the possibilities.
Soizic Website
I made my first website for Soizic way back in 1995! Soizic and Mua are both owned by Sanju and Hisuk Dong, and while the look and feel of each restaurant is very different, they’re both ecclectic.
*Note to self, even when a restaurant closes, don’t let the name go!
