  • WEBSITE DESIGN

    Portfolio and business website examples. When designing or customizing brand identity across many platforms, my main goal is to present each artist's unique style. A lot of changes over the years since I began coding - I no longer hand code or use Flash but I do set up and customize web builders and Wordpress.Below are samples of some I have done.
