Alex & Lele Website

admin — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:09:16 +0000

project: alex & lele jewelry site
client: alex & lele
role: development and design
description: I was hired by Alex & Lele to redesign their website so that they, not knowing and website coding, could easily update the site. They supplied the background image, header image, and footer image. I had to adjust those a bit and design some other elements (url bar icon, store logo, etc.), but other than that, the idea and colors behind the design are their own. I merely rebuilt the site on a wordpress and bigcartel platform and edited the CSS for both accordingly, making it easy for them to update it without knowing code.

Random Photography - 2007

admin — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:14:28 +0000

description: I have a love for photography, and although I’ve had some horrible luck over the years (I lost all my photography for my travels throughout the years of 2005 and 2006), I do have some photographs that I am proud of (and even more that I wish I could recover). This set is a schmorgisborg of photographs from the last couple months of my life that I edited to give an aged effect.
