  • Gingeroot logo and site

    View work

    I created this logo and site for a friend of mine who makes beautiful handmade jewelry. I wanted the design to be simple and elegant, like her pieces, and let her work sell itself. I developed the entire site—including the custom catalog application—with the Django framework.

    A freely browsable database of crimes in Chicago. I designed this site with Adrian Holovaty, who built it using Django and public data. The site received the grand prize in the 2005 Batten Awards for Innovation in Journalism and was featured on CNN and in the New York Times Magazine.

  • Wedding invitations

    View work

    A very personal project for me—a custom wedding invitation design for a longtime friend. Every piece of the package was created from scratch, and I worked with the printer to assemble and construct all the pieces. My friend cried when she saw the final product, which may be the strongest reaction I’ve ever had from a client!
