My Dragontail app and website provides a means to record visual, audio, and written sightings of endangered species, as well as articles that will inform the public on current conservation projects to get involved in. It will be an educational tool for users who wish to get involved in nature, and a great way to gather sighting information for conservationists.

Gina's Italian Cuisine Website

My first design client was the proud owner of an Italian cuisine business, as well as an independent music artist. She asked me to design her a simple website that showcased both sides of her professional work. Since my client needed to make sure certain elements and features were included in certain pages of her website, I first sketched out a couple of design options, then created a simple sitemap to organize my ideas. After receiving feedback on which design my client liked best, I began wireframing. I further iterated on the design we settled on in wireframes, to ensure that everything was well-organized and formatted. I also began playing around a bit with typography, but quickly discovered I should save that for the mockup itself. I created my mockups based on the existing color scheme and typography of my client’s existing brand and logo design. I also imported stock photos of her music and cuisine businesses to help the mockup feel as close to the final product as possible. My client was very satisfied and only asked for minor adjustments! I edited based on her requests and finalized the prototype.See More
