This site, built in wordpress for Joel Benson’s Dependable Letterpress, takes advantage of how easily new images and information can be uploaded by Joel and staff, and cross-linked to designers’ sites and in special cases, their clients.

WE-ACTx Website
I recently had the pleasure of redesigning a website for WE-ACTx (through Windesheim Design). WE-ACTx is an organization that advocates for the health and well being of the women and children of Rwanda, post genocide. The site (wordpress) had to be completely reorganized and streamlined to make it as easy as possible for volunteers to update. Visually, the design challenge was to make the viewer feel a more personal connected to the women and children served.
CP-37 Website
This website is for Oakland artist CP-37. I’m including it here because even though it’s old in website years (5) I still think it works well with his art.
Mua Website
This is the website for Mua, Hi-suk and San-ju Dong’s latest bar and restaurant in Oakland. The design reflects the eclectic and ever changing nature of the place and is built in WordPress to make it easier to stay current. I manage the content, do most of the photography/video, help select artists to exhibit, manage and monitor their Twitter and Yelpness. I also help them to consume cocktails and food items, because well, someone has to. (Cap’n John photo by Eu-ri Dong)
Windesheim Design Website
Nancy Windesheim of Windesheim Design and I have been collaborating since 2000. We designed this site for her a couple of years ago. We know we should update her site, but we are kinda attatched to it as is…
birch Website
The walls in Torryne Choate’s upscale flower design shops birch and birch hayes valley are painted black, which makes the amazing flower arrangements and objects d’art stand out even more. The website is designed in the same aesthetic. Torryne also takes all the amazing photos for the site.
National AIDS Memorial at the Grove Website
The National AIDS Memorial Grove is another of Windesheim Design’s non-profit clients. We worked with director, John Cunningham, to create a site that could be updated by the organizations many volunteers and committees. One of my favorite moments as a designer was showing a group from NAMG how to update this wordpress site, and seeing collective lightbulbs going off over their heads as they got excited about the possibilities.
Soizic Website
I made my first website for Soizic way back in 1995! Soizic and Mua are both owned by Sanju and Hisuk Dong, and while the look and feel of each restaurant is very different, they’re both ecclectic.
*Note to self, even when a restaurant closes, don’t let the name go!
