    uniE621 Payroll NW website
    I had the privilege of partnering with Payroll NW, a Vancouver, WA-based payroll services company, to bring their vision for a fresh, professional website to life. They sought a design that reflected their logo and captured the essence of the Pacific Northwest while showcasing their expertise in payroll services. Inspired by their branding, we created a bold and modern design featuring angled elements that echo their logo, paired with regionally inspired imagery to resonate with their audience. The result is a site that feels approachable yet professionalperfect for a business built on trust and precision. The fully responsive static site was custom-built for easy deployment by Payroll NW's in-house development team. I added subtle animations to enhance the user experience, giving the site a polished, engaging feel. Every detail was crafted to ensure the design not only aligned with their brand identity but also delivered an exceptional digital experience for their clients. If you're in the accounting, payroll, or professional services industries and looking for a website that highlights your brands professionalism and reliability, I'd love to collaborate on your next project.
    uniE621 Exterro website
    I partnered with Portland-based digital agency Daylight to build a dynamic website for Exterro, a leading legal tech company specializing in comprehensive data risk management solutions. Tasked with bringing the designer's creative vision to life, I developed a fully functional site using Craft CMS, ensuring every detail aligned perfectly with the agency's direction. The project also included a seamless migration of essential content from Exterro's previous website, preserving key information while improving usability and performance. With a focus on delivering a polished, user-centric platform tailored to Exterro's unique B2B needs, I worked closely with Daylight and the client to ensure the final product exceeded expectations. Thorough testing and collaboration between all teams resulted in a smooth launch, earning praise from both the agency and Exterro. The end result is a high-performing, visually striking website that supports Exterros mission and enhances their digital presence. If you're in the legal tech or B2B space and need a website that combines functionality, creativity, and performance, I'd love to help.
    uniE621 The Bridge website
    I partnered with Innovate Agency to redesign the website for The Bridge Company, a high-end restaurant in Anchorage recently taken over by two entrepreneurial women. With their logo and brand style guide as our foundation, I worked closely with Innovate to craft a modern, minimalist website that perfectly reflects the restaurants elevated dining experience and exciting new beginning. The design emphasizes simplicity and sophistication, featuring large, high-quality photos that highlight The Bridge Company's dishes and atmosphere. Built on Craft CMS, the site is intuitive and easy for the restaurant team to update, with a clear and organized content structure. I also incorporated basic accessibility features and on-page SEO to ensure the site not only looks stunning but performs seamlessly. It was a great experience helping The Bridge Company create an online presence as refined as their dining experience. If you're in the restaurant or food and beverage industry, I'd love to work with you to bring your brands story to life online.
