“Good design makes you feel good even if you don’t know why.” I create meaningful, virtual experiences with an approach grounded in a passion for storytelling. As both a designer and a writer, I focus on both the visual presentation and the written narrative. I help my clients to distill what makes them unique and to embrace it.
All of my work is custom, so that a site doesn’t feel templated, matches a company’s branding, and expresses depth, personality and professionalism.")

With a focus on balance, beauty, and an elevated user experience, the site seamlessly integrates stunning visuals, a refined color palette, and interactive design elements to create a space that feels as nurturing and forward-thinking as the clinic itself.
One of the standout visual features of the website is its use of high-end imagery of the brand-new modern facility. By giving potential patients a preview of the environment where they will receive care, the site instills trust and credibility and creates a seamless bridge between the digital and real-world experience.

With a visually strong and memorable brand identity and a layout designed to drive tangible business outcomes, the website not only supports Humanity at Work’s offerings but also establishes its role as a leader in business transformation.
At the core of the Humanity at Work website is a strong, well-defined brand identity. The company’s modern organic color blocks and distinctive font choices are key assets that shape the overall tone and structure of the website. Bold, organic color block elements reinforce the company’s forward-thinking, modern approach to business transformation and provide visual structure while ensuring the site feels modern and human-centered rather than rigid or overly corporate.")

Design Highlight: Soft, Healing Color Palette
The site’s palette of warm ivory/beige and a rich dark green creates a serene and restorative atmosphere. These colors draw visitors and set the tone for an experience that feels both nurturing and empowering by:
Evoking Warmth and Comfort: The ivory tones provide a soft, welcoming backdrop that feels safe and inviting.
Inspiring Growth and Vitality: The warm dark green symbolizes growth, harmony, and connection to nature, aligning with the site’s message of thriving and flourishing.
Creating Balance: The interplay of these tones establishes a sense of equilibrium, reinforcing the site’s focus on emotional and nervous system balance.")

Several core design principles make this website stand out:
A Retro Cartoon Feel – The entire site embraces hand-drawn, nostalgic, and playful illustrations reminiscent of vintage comic strips.
A Bright, Engaging Color Palette – A mix of soft, cool blues, greens, and yellows contrast with dark blue and black for a vivid, eye-catching aesthetic.
Page Layouts That Feel Like an Adventure – Each page offers a unique layout, ensuring visitors experience something new and unexpected as they navigate the site.
A Custom \"Curtain Reveal\" on the Home Page – The homepage introduces content with a scroll-activated “curtain reveal” effect, making the experience more interactive and theatrical.")

The overall result is a site that perfectly balances elegance with accessibility, making high-end, curated travel feel both luxurious and within reach.
Washed-out pastels carry an understated elegance, resembling faded travel memories or the soft hues of a sunrise over a distant city.
Nothing feels corporate or rigid; instead, there’s a softness that invites visitors to feel at ease, almost as if they’re already on their journey. This blend of professionalism with warmth gives the site its unique personality—an aesthetic that feels both luxurious and personal.")

From furniture and home goods to original artwork, prints, and cards, Glen Arbor Artisans invites visitors to bring a piece of its artistry into their own homes.
The website for Glen Arbor Artisans is not simply a place to view and purchase products, it is an extension of the artistry and craftsmanship that the May family has poured into their creations. As such, the design philosophy is rooted in letting the products take center stage, much as they do in the physical store itself.
This approach reflects a deeper understanding of how artistry can be presented in the digital realm. By using a minimalist design with carefully selected fonts and headers that align with their brand identity, the site allows the art to shine without distraction.")

This imagery is carefully curated to symbolize the therapeutic process—a journey into the unknown, where each client’s path is as unique as the collages that grace the site. Each image speaks to the uniqueness of the therapeutic experience, where no two journeys are the same, and where healing is an art form as much as it is a science.
The color palette of the website is deliberately chosen to contrast with the darker, more mysterious setting. Feminine and bright tones are used to create a sense of balance, offering a visual metaphor for the light that can be found even in the darkest of places. This contrast not only makes the website visually striking but also serves as a reminder of the hope and positivity that Amanda brings to her practice.")

Their philosophy centers around creating spaces that are as practical as they are beautiful and the website was crafted to be a direct reflection of that ethos. Every element was carefully considered to ensure that the site not only looks stunning but also invites visitors to imagine the possibilities for their own homes.
The Power of Imagery
One of the most powerful aspects of The Kitchen Connection’s new website is the use of rich, professionally shot imagery. These images take center stage, capturing the attention of potential clients from the moment they land on the site. The imagery serves as a visual narrative, guiding visitors through a journey of what’s possible.")

The design aesthetic for her website is rich and immersive with images and video that envelop you in the grandeur of nature, giving visitors a virtual taste of what they will experience on one of her walks.")
