MotoVixens is the premiere business for women who ride. They offer training for the novice or seasoned rider, and merchandise for women, a demographic that motorcycle riding and racing often ignores. I’m proud to be supporting a company that’s working to bring equality to women on the track.
At the tail end of 2019 I was brought onto an excellent team at RRDonnelly to help build the necessary templates and SOP for a full overhaul of Lowe's Holiday Living brand. At first this role was strictly part-time, supporting their existing team in-house with QA and light redesign, but by the time I left I was playing a temporary role as a Jr. Art Director, SOP author and AEM manager. I learned a lot, made some great friends, and did work I’m genuinely proud of.
My first web developer job was with sirrus7, a DevOps team based out of Seattle with one of the best collections of talent and leadership I've ever encountered. My first project was helping them build out two websites for existing applications they've developed, starting with Shingo-works.com. To streamline the process I started with blank Wix templates, creating custom assets in Illustrator, and working with the company leadership to write copy for the different sub-pages. Once the site for Shingo-works.com was live, I worked with another senior level sales rep to build out a series of assets for a short LinkedIn campaign, supporting his messaging with my small banner images that used the same visual language as the website.
CastleHeart is an online video game built for kids 13 and under. It’s primary theme is the convergence of four worlds. The Avalonian world is a mythic European realm of castles and wizardry, the Terran realm is a blasted wasteland of post-apocalyptic survival, the Imperium is a world of advanced cybertechnology, and the Xenonian Empire is an alien landscape of crystals. Each set of Icons needed to have a flavor that harmonized with these themes, so each class of logos has a similar look. To save on costs nearly all of these icons were acquired from Free Game Icons dot org, which gave me a head start, and a unified look to begin with. My alterations filtered each logo into a theme, making them unique to the CastleHeart experience.
