Back in the beginning of 2008, I redesigned a website for entrepreneur Winder Lyons for one of his multiple ventures. This week, we decided to move the site into Wordpress to allow for easier updates and more flexibility to integrate social media elements like Facebook and Twitter. Although the site looks very similar to the old version, the back-end is much more powerful!

A handful of us from the NC Tech 4 Good meetup group are organizing a conference titled Solving the Puzzle: technology pieces to advance your mission which will be held at the Friday Center on Friday, June 25th from 8-5pm. There will be a reception immediately following from 5-7pm.

Register Now!

This conference is geared toward anyone who works either with a nonprofit or for a nonprofit in North Carolina, i.e. volunteers, designers, executive directors, etc. The sessions will be very interactive to give the attendees many opportunities to find workable technological solutions for their individual organizations.

The price goes up on June 1, so register today!

My part of the planning process involved designing the theme for the Drupal-based site.

Just launched a lovely new Drupal website for Kathryn Riechert, a very talented jewelry designer based in Savannah, GA.

Two of my favorite people to do design work for (and not just because it means I have to stop into a wine shop to see them) are Drew and Thomas over at the Hope Valley Bottle Shop.

They recently contacted me to do a quick postcard for them, including design of a custom map, that they could give out at special events, wine dinners and mail out as needed. The result...

I've been busy these last few months and sometimes that means not updating my own website! I've added two new logos (shown below) and a new Wordpress website design to the portfolio page.

I am currently finishing up a few other web design projects, so stay tuned for more details.
