Late '00s
Venetian Plasterer's Website
Website for a building contractor.
A simple static HTML and javascript site. Focusing on color combinations and a clean layout. Re-using a previous integration of a javascript gallery. Logo design and name also became part of this branding project.
After launch, the site was retooled to maximize its SEO potential. Focusing on the words "New York" and "Tadelakt", I moved the site from page 23 of a Google search to the first two results.

MegaMillions Checker
An exercise to learn some Ruby on Rails.
A functional website that enables members of an office Mega Millions pool to check their numbers. Chosen as a first Ruby on Rails project as it would encompass some key features, such as multiple models, data scraping, view helpers, CSS-based styling, and user-interaction through forms.
Indoor Cycling Website
Website for a Brooklyn-based indoor cycling center.
Built on the WordPress WCMS platform this website interfaced with a booking/reservation system, as well as enabling the blogging features of WordPress. Original design and implementation from scratch.
Lawyer's Website
Website design for a Brooklyn-based lawyer.
Built on the WordPress WCMS platform. This website re-used a previously developed theme, with some additional customizations, mostly style-related. Sadly, hosted on Yahoo!, which uses some awful caching process. Client is in the process of changing hosting service, which will improve the site's performance.
Poster/T-Shirt Design
Design for fan of 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'.
3-colour design including dialog from the the film 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly', and a stencil-style image of the character Tuco. Designed in Illustrator, and realized as a poster and as a T-shirt print.
Specialty Yarn Website
Designed from scratch website for a specialty dyed yarn producer.
A simple static HTML and javascript site. First experiments with transparent layers. Re-using an existing self-developed library for image swapping on one gallery, and updating and integrating an OSS javascript gallery. Finally managed to talk the client out of having an animated Flash screen. Actually, I refused to add the splash screen.
Advertising Producer's Website
Streamlined an existing design. Updating the QuickTime video gallery, and HTML-ized the resume, which was originally presented as a JPG.
Retail Real Estate Services Website
This was touch-up job for an existing, but poorly functioning website. Flash components were re-worked to minimize load times. Certain layout and flow problems were corrected, and the client gallery was added.
A simple static HTML, Flash, and javascript site. Re-using an existing self-developed library for image swapping. This site's layout and design had already been done, but it was done from a print perspective, which complicated many aspects for its actual production.
Artist's Website
A simple update for an existing website. Only the "Graphics" section is working, this was a proof of concept to the client, who eventually went for a WordPress-based solution.
Social Interest Website
Another website that needed fixing. This high-speed turnaround required taking an original design that was badly broken and re-tooling it to use efficient CSS-based styling, maintaining the goal of allowing the site's owner the ability to simply update the content without the use of a web content management system.
This was a big favor to get a website up and running that had been dropped by the original developer. The legacy markup was unorganized and broken, and auto-generated by Dreamweaver, which had made a mangled mess of it all.
