A beautifully minimalist site for an equally sophisticated client, saberico. In a market full of cheap fast food and overpriced tourist fare they stand out by making delicious organic chemical-free fare. The brief required the design to guide visitors to the client’s three main channels: the restaurant, the deli and the chocolatería. Special attention also went into highlighting saberico’s new kiosk in Guatemala City. Finally, a credit card gateway and shopping cart were built to accommodate orders made para llevar.

Casa Escobar is my favorite steak house in Guatemala, and I’m not alone. With two locations they cater to both chapines and extranjeros with fast growing success. The challenge of this project was to communicate the superiority and tradition of the restaurant without appearing stuffy or trite.

Hipsters like to go camping too! Alite Designs, a start-up based in San Francisco, designs cool and functional gear for the ironic outdoorsperson. Alite’s deadline, however, was anything but apathetic: after creative was approved I was required to build a custom WordPress theme from scratch in exactly one week. After a few late nights I had pulled it off like a pair of girl jeans and non-prescription eyeglasses.

North American servers FTW!

evolve24 is a business analytics and research firm specializing in the measurement of perception, reputation and risk. I completely redesigned their site, put it on a CMS (Content Management System) and replaced their old Flash animations with more lightweight, accessible jQuery. The new site received a sizable lift in traffic, valuable lead generation via white paper registration and increased email inquiries from potential new customers.

Hifn designs, develops and markets security and compression processors. They contracted my agency to perform extensive discovery, positioning and redesign of their online presence. My design responded to many different business requirements, functional considerations and a deep understanding of the discovery conducted by our marketing team, copywriters and the client’s own strategy. The rotating “billboard” area at the top of the page is an exciting and effective method of communicating high-level messaging and was well received by the client.

Dark, cinematic and haunting are words often used to describe the work of Lucy Fiddian-Green, a UK-based photographer who approached my agency to create a dynamic Flash-based portfolio for her work. I co-designed the site with another designer and then built it out in one week. Both galleries, bio and footer contact info are XML-driven making it easy for the client to update.
