Web Projects

I've been designing and building websites since 1999, starting with hand-coded HTML and evolving alongside the web itself. This is an archive of some of the freelance and personal projects I worked on between 2015-2020.

Pandemic Pictures

A movie tracker built during the pandemic to document a personal mission: watch every Best Picture nominee ever made. Designed, coded, and shipped with my husband—because why just make a spreadsheet when you can build an app?

What started as a spreadsheet idea became a fully-featured web app listing all 97 years of Academy Award Best Picture nominees. You can filter by decade, IMDb score, running time, winners only, and whether each of us had seen, loved, or skipped it. Josh built the backend while I kept us aligned on scope and polish. I designed the UI, built the HTML and CSS, and led feature planning, like a randomizer button for indecisive nights. Each card drops down for full details.

Movie options listed for the year 1930 are "The Broadway Melody," "Alibi," and "Hollywood Revue." User reaction icons for Josh and Alicia shown below each movie.

2016 ‍• WordPress

PowerToFly

While working as a product manager at PowerToFly, I also replatformed the marketing site to WordPress for easier updates and redesigned it for a more polished look.

I tackled the redesign over a long weekend, using skills from my freelancing days that I’d retired from the year prior. Using a CMS gave the team editing control without developer intervention, since it had been hand-coded before.

The old site had heart, but the visual design was dated: tight spacing, inconsistent fonts, and insincere stock photography. I customized a premium WordPress theme to give PowerToFly a cleaner layout, sharper typography, and a more modern, cohesive feel without losing their approachable tone.

2015 ‍• Vanilla HTML & CSS

Fayetteville Coworking

Before coworking became synonymous with WeWork, I built a community for remote workers and freelancers in North Carolina, growing it to over 100 members. I designed and built the brand, website, and print materials, both to practice my skills and to help people find each other.

The first version explained what coworking was and invited people to sign up for updates. It leaned on soft colors, hand-coded HTML, and clean typography to feel welcoming and easy to understand, especially for those new to the concept.

The second and final iteration kept the same font, but I introduced a bright gradient palette and full-page layout linking to our calendar, email list, and Facebook group. I also designed new flyers, business cards, and other collateral to post around town and hand out at events.

2014 ‍• WordPress with WooCommerce

Vegan O’Brien

A one-man vegan baking business in the Hudson Valley, brought to life online with an ecommerce site and cohesive visual identity, building off his existing logo.

I redesigned Vegan O’Brien’s web presence from a basic Blogspot page into a full WooCommerce-powered storefront. With rich product photography already in hand, I focused on clear structure, visual warmth, and low-friction purchasing to help his baked goods shine. I also created assets for his Etsy and social channels to ensure brand consistency across platforms.
