IT Works
Website design
Problem
IT Works was a small, successful company specializing in custom software development projects. IT Works needed their expertise to be more widely known in order to expand their customer base.
Solution
A solid, accessible website built upon web standards was created. The simplicity of the site quickly and clearly sums up IT Works’ work.
Work Done
Graphic design, HTML markup, CSS.
Imaginary Lines
Website design
I was reading a lot of Jiddu Krishnamurti, so I made a website to write and link to things concerning conflict caused by division caused by fear. Borders, nationalism, organized religion and so on.
Work Done
Graphic design and web design.

Plant Treaty Internal Website
Website design
Problem
IT Works was working on a website that helps the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA, phew!) do its job of facilitating the sharing of plant genetic resources among countries around the world.
IT Works needed the client-side of the website to be as easy to use as possible for an audience spread across most of the planet using a wide variety of computer systems and of varying computer skills.
Solution
I designed the front-end for the ITPGRFA internal website. An easily customizable site was made on a foundation of web standards with maximum usability, accessibility and simplicity. This ensured the site was as usable to someone with a modern computer and a DSL connection as to someone with an old machine and a 14400 bit/s modem.
Work Done
Graphic design, XHTML markup, CSS.
Jimmy Boss Website
Graphic design, website design, writing
Problem
No problem. My alter-ego Jimmy Boss felt like writing, so I made him a place to publish his writing.
Solution
I worked with Jimmy Boss to hack together a website where Jimmy could publish his thoughts.
Work Done

Cantos
UX & Website Design
Problem
Cantos needed to attract new visitors interested in online business video to their website. An audience accustomed to seeing a great deal of financial information on a daily basis proved to be a challenge.
Solution
I created a group of clear, modern, accessible HTML landing pages easily managed with a custom CMS and targeted by a focused Google Ad campaign. The landing pages succeeded in bringing a large number of new visitors to explore Cantos’ services increasing impression-to-click rates by 30%.
Work Done
User experience design, graphic design, copy writing, HTML markup, CSS, CMS templates and implementation.
Problem
A web marketer was going into business for himself and needed a logotype.
Solution
I created the Advancesite logotype.
Work Done
Graphic design, web design & development.
Today was the final class in Gazi Garib’s Concept Design Workshop at Stanford University’s d.school.
My team worked on a ‘Storyteller Doll’ concept that would help children learn stories and languages. Here’s an image of the homepage mockup:
