The proprietor/owner of Portland Bicycle Studio, Molly Cameron, wanted to revitalize her site after finding the previous version not as accurately representing her business, brand, or clientelle. This design was bourne out of researching similar businesses and similar brands matching the demographic of PBS. Portland Bicycle Studio, specializing in custom fitting bikes and perforance assistance, filled out the new website well. This officially launched August 13th, 2009. It is built entirely on Wordpress, and the theme is a highly modified version of another GPL Wordpress theme. It utilizes a flash “feature flipper” on the homepage that is powered by categorical XML feeds.

Cubanisimo Vineyards requested my services in creating a blog for their winery website, as well as assisting in moving their site to an ASP-enabled Windows server (For their very out-dated eCommerce provider). This proved difficult as Wordpress is developed for a LAMP environment. Finding a Windows server provider that allowed PHP/MySQL solved these issues. I developed a Wordpress theme matching the designs of their current site. This also encluded an “events” view for blog posts set as future events.

This site was built using Wordpress and mainly the cforms plugin.
Themeing and architecture all generated to client’s spec.
The entire site runs through SSL secure connection over HTTPS. All http requests are rewritten to HTTPS to ensure client confidentiality in all online forms submissions and communication.

Just something I put together for my own little messenger bag initiative. It’s comprised of photos and video either taken by me or of me in the southeast Portland area.

This is a preroll commercial developed for online assets sponsored by Scion in the northwest United States. Not only did I develop the concept and produce the commercial, I am also the artist in it.

Unitus Box Ad (intended to be viewed at 728 x 90)
Unitus Horizontal Ad (intended to be viewed at 300 x 250) Unitus Rich Media Ads

These are rich media ads developed for the Unitus Credit Union. They were built using Flash 8 and AS2. It is a simple unmute action that allows the audio to be audible. Everything plays as if the video were loaded at the same time as the page.

I designed all visual and technical elements of this campaign while working for Entercom Portland. The overall campaign was aimed at a demographic of hip, middle class, age 25 – 30 males in the Northwest United States. I created a modified Scion thematic logo as well as matching collateral and graphic imagery. Pictured above are the two main pieces, both current models of Scion. One is wrapped in stencil art style, while the other is wrapped in original graffiti art style. Not only was this concept bolstered by the client, Scion, as being right with who they were, but they also purchased the original artwork from my designs for their own distribution in customer appreciation items.

This sample is from a on-site photoshoot I did with the Portland, Or banb by the name of The Professional Man. They used the prints from this shoot in marketing and advertising for general branding as well as poster art in their show ads.

This initiative, managed by Entercom Portland, was focused on holiday shopping and giving. The website design was created to be simplified, in “microsite” format, to include limited, focused data for users trafficked here from other digital properties. link

This ad was created for print in Willamette Week, a local Portland publication, to advertise a warehouse sale hosted by the Portland Rotary and Entercom Portland’s cluster of radio stations.
