Projects

A. Catherine Photography Homepage

The Client

Launched 2016, A. Catherine Photography is a freelance photography service that captures beautiful moments.

The mission of its founder, Anna Glover, is to capture and share the beauty she discovers in the world.

The Challenge

A. Catherine Photography needed a platform to unite their online presence.

This needed to include one central place to showcase their work, book clients, and promote collaboration.

The Approach

After our first discovery session with the client, we knew our design would have to be bold to match the client's voice.

Due to the amount of high quality photographs that would be on the site, we had to keep our code lean and purposeful to maintain smooth loading.

Review

"There is no lag time at all. Each page loads immediately, the images are so crisp! I can't believe it's my work! T.A.STEVENS killed it!!!"

Vino Restaurant Homepage

The Client

Vino serves authentic Italian dishes in an upscale atmosphere. They offer a variety of wines to pair with your meal.

The Challenge

Vino was using social media to connect with their customers and didn't have an official website.

Research showed their competitors all have a solid online identity. To stay competitive, Vino needed to establish their online presence.

The Approach

I chose a traditional layout to compliment the authentic dishes. The design was kept lean and meant to highlight the menu.

The fonts and colors were chosen to convey an elegant and formal voice.

CRStevens Design Logo

The Client

Launched 2021, CRStevens Design offers handcrafted home decor and gifts.

The mission of its founder, Casey Stevens, is to create unique art that is witty and inclusive.

The Challenge

CRStevens Design primarily sells their pieces at vendor events. To draw in customers they needed branded advertising materials, for both print and web.

The Approach

We needed to create a logo and banner that could be used online and as booth signage to present a unified identity.

The Client

During my course eBooks, eDocs, & ePublishing at Harrisburg Area Community College, I was assigned a project to write, illustrate, and self-publish a children's book.

The Challenge

The book had to be 28 pages and completed within 16 days. The book also had to be formatted for both print and eBook format.

The book had to be engaging for children ages 4 - 7, while adhering to industry standards for word count.

The Approach

I started with writing a rough draft of a story. I then designed illustrations that visualized the story, using Illustrator. I used InDesign to organize the illustrations into book format and added in the story copy.

Creation of book characters

Once the book was completed, I self-published it in print and eBook format using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
