Yina 5 Beauté
Early stages of a brand new beauty product line.
Birch, San Francisco’s Coolest Florist.
An upgrade for San Francisco’s coolest florist, Torryne Choate of birch. Keeping it simple and elegant, but integrating more elements, such as her fabulous instagram images.
Core Pilates and PT
I’ve enjoyed worked with Physical Therapist Julie over the years to develop her unique brand, and recently finished her website, including photos. She’s a very hands on client. :). http://corepilateson17th.com/
Santipapas Salsa!
Santipapas needed a rush website, since they were nominated for a grant from Whole Foods and already in the market at BiRite. Vote for Santipapas!
Telegraph Oakland
Uh Oh, got a call from John Mardikian owner at Telegraph Oakland. It seems his web and social media guy got his knickers twisted and locked John out of his accounts and took down his site! Nightmare. So we untangled all that and I made him a new responsive site in WordPress.
In Fiore
I love this site, and especially working with Julie Elliott, but it’s been pretty challenging getting all the inherited parts (Thesis-WordPress & Shopify-liquify) to work together. It’s tricky getting an online store to look good, but the quality of these products and photos makes it so much easier! In Fiore—if you live in San Francisco you need to check it out in person.
I Want to Swim in This
Golden Bridges School
A local (Noe Valley) preschool is fundraising to extend to upper grades. They needed a new logo that “reflected” their values — unfussy, supportive, hands-on education.
Lead type
For a new logo for a new school that’s somewhat Waldorf related, I though it would be cool to start with original lead type and work backwards. Here at my favorite printers Dependable Letterpress.
Quickie Logo for Mr. Aro
for his art + furniture from his new machine.
Another Year, Another TEC Awards Show
Program books, signage, and the rest! With Windesheim Design.
Putting the sexy back in Asbestos Remediation, he he.
I’ve done a lot of work for engineers over the years. I like organizing information that I know nothing about and making it understandable in layman’s terms. This project is for CPM Environmental, next I’m working on CPM’s over-all site. This is my first site using html 5, couldn’t use php on this installation. Responsive design!
ACI
ACI needed to update their brand. Their client base being upscale, they wanted a cleaner, minimal look that more reflected their approach and that has the flexibility to work in a variety of uses.
I love working with Amanda and the other Leslie :). They have a great sense of style, fun and humor.
New Header for In Fiore’s blog, In Vigilare
Sometimes even with new clients it feels like you’ve been working together a long time. It’s that alchemist thing that keeps coming up.
In Vigilare for In Fiore
Just started working with Julie Elliott, of IN FIORI. If only computers had scratch and sniff technology :)
Oy, Deadlines!
4 days to finish up one proposal and create a new 35 pager for a new client for construction of a cool new green building by Ghery. Client worked on Cal Academy +. It was actually a fun change, look forward to working with them again.
Just in, they made the short list!
Little Big Draw
Which category to put this, work, art or life? Little Big Draw, a live drawing event @ Mua was really fun to put together. Michael McConnell and John Casey rounded up the talent: Michael McConnell, Nicole Hayden, Aaron Petersen, Rachel Robertson, Alison Frost, Alison Tharp, Crystal Morey, Lauren Napolitano, Gina Tuzzi, Obi Kaufmann, Marcos LaFarga, Nathaniel Parsons, Dave Higgins, Jon Carling, John Casey, Jake Watling, David five ash. Michael McC did the invite. San Ju Made sure the starving artists got fed.
Also up a group show, more art 4 u, will be up through the end of December, ever changing, since as art is bought or traded new art goes up. There’s some work here even other artists can afford. Tim Gatto, Carina Johnson, Phil Aro, Michelle Cernuto, Paul Mavrides, Susan DeGregorio, Patrick Carpenter, Karen Dunn, Simone Simon, Lisa Mendelson,Susan Scott, Heather Wilcoxon, Nin Nguyen, Nicole Hayden, Michael McConnell, Karyn Yandow, Krishna Bhat, Dustin Turner, Ann Phelan, Jacob Rimler, CP-37, Leslie Straw (ha ha) and more.
Boston Globe
My photos of Mua in the Boston Globe! Bonus, I got to eat the props yum.
Mr Espresso
See that little burning oak log graphic on this packaging? I totally did that :). Hey, don’t laugh, the simplest things are the hardest to pull off.
Reliquary Hayes Valley
One of my favorite contact pages. Eye contact! Leah Bershad’s truly one-of-a-kind store that you should go to— Reliquary on Octavia in Hayes Valley.
Nex Oakland
Just when I get the site redone (above) Nex changes and becomes part of Mua. Sigh.
NEX is the latest restaurant site created for San-ju and Hi-suk (Mua, Soizic, and Pastoral). I love working with them—creative, fluid, non-corporate aesthetic. Yay for that! (Also for the side benefits, he he) This site was built in WordPress so they can update menus, add photos, be “liked” on facebook, etc. I also help managing online reservations and marketing.
YR&G
A lot of new clients are Green or Mission Driven, which is cool. This site was with Windesheim Design for YR&G sustainability consultants based in NY.

de Young Balenciaga Swag
Just got these samples back from Stuart Hata at the de Young Museum Store of San Francisco. They came out pretty good considering how limiting these kinds of products are… ( Windesheim Design )
Windesheim Redesign
Redesign of Windesheim Design’s website. We kept a lot of the same design elements but got rid of the Flash so that it would work mobile. We made it a WordPress site so that it would be easy for us to update. The photography is mine as well.
La Cocina Website
La Cocina, the incubator kitchen in the Mission in San Francisco, is one of Windesheim Design’s non-profit clients. Caleb Zigas came to us asking for a site that would get the information out to the community, integrate with social networking (twitter, facebook, youtube), sell product via paypal, translate, and be editable by volunteers. Whew. We used this project to develop a WordPress template that more of our other non-profits and small businesses could use. The site has been very successful—they have had so much traffic they had to up the capacity twice.
Dependable Letterpress Website
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.
Integral Group
Just launched Integral Group’s new website today, via Windesheim Design. Our most ambitious WordPress based yet (thematic with a custom child theme). It’s a clean design, easy to navigate and update projects internationally.
Update! We helped them become so successful they bought out other firms and now have an inhouse marketing department.
REGARD IP
Regard IP, (an intellectual property law firm) needed a fast identity and web presence for their new SF office. They had some interim cards printed at dependable letterpress, so I used the letterpress aesthetic as a jumping off point to create this logo. From there we put together an introductory website to expand as they grown, a custom email campaign template and stationery system.
Hello Kitty
NEX
First round prototypes are fun, this one is for the sister restaurant to Mua Oakland
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.
TEC Awards
The TEC Awards are another client of Windesheim Design. We design all the support matierial for the Awards Ceremony. + Lou Reed and David Byrne! :)
