Amore

This print (17in x 28in) was a wedding gift to my brother, and his wife. Honoring both the nuptials, and passion for Italy. The campanile was drawn straight from the grounds in which they were married. My inspiration came from the vintage travel posters that dot the inside of their home.

Sample home page for Midtown Stomp, a swing dance venue in Sacramento, CA. My goal was to improve the initial look of the site by adding more color and dramatic photos. The current site is successful at delivering content to the user, however, I was looking to advance the site by increasing the aesthetic appeal and readability. Here is a shot of the entire home page.

Unfortunately, this great swing dancing venue had to close its doors recently. But, before it closed, I was asked to design a Brand, Website and postcard for the dance event. Below are the Logo, website sample, postcard and free pass.

ATOMIC Ballroom

ATOMIC Ballroom has been my full time side project for the better part of a year now, and it is with great pride that I announce: the site is finally live! Creating a custom front end, with a custom CMS proved to be challenging because of the level of complexity of all the moving parts–integrating the instructors, classes, dance styles and the schedule into a dynamic whole. The new site contains more content, increased usability, and helps to attain the client goal of an improved community feel by including detailed information about the classes, evening dances, dance styles and instructors; all editable within the CMS. Work on the site will be ongoing, future upgrades include: an improved blog, ATOMIC Achievements, and enhanced calendar and scheduling system, as well as several other organic improvements yet to be discovered.

I am very excited about this project finally coming online. I am a huge fan of the ballroom, and consider it my Friday night home.
