I updated the Alphabet Bash website content for 2009 as trade for tickets to "the BIGGEST networking event in the Twin Cities for marketing and advertising professionals." I updated the site content as Lead Interactive Designer.

I built this site for local artist and MCAD alumni Kyle Hermanson. The gallery has a CMS built with PHP using a MySQL database. Kyle wanted a site that he could update without needing much knowledge of HTML. The design is minimal to focus attention to the artwork in compliance to Kyle's request.



This site started as a way for me to learn PHP in my Organizing Data course as a student at MCAD. I took on this project for Kyle as a service and means for me to build my portfolio and technical skills. I did not complete this project and it did not go live.

Traveled Ground, a local band from Waconia, MN, approached me to design the packaging for their next album: “From the Rafters.” The band provided me with the photography and requested I use the 5" sleeve template. I was allowed freedom of imagery placement and type treatment for the album title and track listing. Using a combination of serif and script typefaces and embellishments, I created a composition and style to communicate visually the American Roots style of Traveled Ground.



This album is available for purchase at local cafes, Traveled Ground performances, and The Electric Fetus.
