This personal website features photos of items I took around my friend Edmond’s place; it’s a virtual extension his home, and the custom-designed Wordpress-powered blog an extension of the wonderful conversations I’ve had there.

Twin Cities boutique and gift store Gather needed a sophisticated website and and enhanced print and online identity to feature selections from their ever-changing lineup of high-end merchandise. The resulting website is easy-to-use and elegant, and most importantly features the store’s products beautifully. It was designed with room to grow, and features a database-driven, e-commerce ready back-end. Photos that I took of items in the store setting provided customers a beautiful preview of the store and merchandise online and in print materials.

Several times a year, two Twin Cities charities (Park House and Clare Housing) raise money for their HIV/AIDS programs with a raucous evening of bingo hosted by local drag queen superstar Miss Richfield 1981. To promote the events, I created a series of postcards and advertisements featuring the superstar herself expertly combined with clip art, stock photography and photos that I took myself.

With only a logo and some simple business cards to use as graphic inspiration, I worked with Bayerkohler & Graff to develop a strong, cohesive brand image that could be used across print and online media. Photographs that I took were seamlessly integrated with stock photography provided to the client, on both the website and in the print materials I designed.
