Branding and Website Redesign
I completed a branding and website redesign for the LTUE writing symposium, creating a modern logo, cohesive style guide, and WordPress site tailored to younger, tech-savvy writers. I combined user research, streamlined navigation, and bold visual design to elevate the event’s digital presence and boost audience engagement.
For Road Trippin', I created a mobile-friendly web app that transforms road trip games like the classic license plate game into a shared digital experience for families, couples, and travelers. I designed an offline-first, quick-tap interface with vibrant visuals and the result was a simple, fun, and practical app that increases interaction and promotes an exciting, collaborative travel experience.
For Bookshelf, I designed a minimalist personal library web app that gives readers a calm, private space to curate their collections - free from the noise of social feeds and unnecessary features. I streamlined book entry, added intuitive tagging, and fashioned a warm, clean, distraction-free interface.
This is a paragraph about the client and project that expands a bit on what was done for them. Short and to the point, it should include key words but not so much that it's a chore to read. Include all the different things that was part of this project and what I learned while working on this project to entice the viewer to click the link below.
