An E-Commerce Website Redesign

A small business outgrew its website. My redesign centers e-commerce and improves information architecture so the site can evolve with the business.

“Your project is wonderful. Thank you so much and we think you did an incredible job.”

A Closet Management App

A closet full of stuff and nothing to wear. Why did I just buy yet another black sweater? What goes with those pants again?

“Ooooh. Can you make this for real, please?”
