Selected work across websites and lightweight applications.

Different problems call for different kinds of digital work. These projects show how business context, user needs, information, workflow, and implementation shape the solution.

Two live websites, built for real audiences.

Data Done Right and Charmaine Gray Photo are shipped, in-use websites — everything below reflects actual client and personal-brand decisions, not concept work.

Data Done Right

What the website needed to accomplish

Establish executive credibility, explain complex advisory work in direct language, and help visitors identify the service most relevant to their situation.

How the design responds

A structured, editorial presentation gives visitors the central message first and introduces supporting detail as they move through the site. The restrained visual language, information hierarchy, and focused service paths reflect the expectations of a senior business audience.

Key design decisions
  • Organize complex material into clear levels of information.
  • Establish credibility through strong typography and a disciplined visual system.
  • Help visitors locate the advisory support relevant to their situation.
  • Keep detailed information available without requiring everyone to read it.

Charmaine Gray Photo

What the website needed to accomplish

Let the photography establish emotional connection and creative range while helping pet owners understand the experience before making an inquiry.

How the design responds

Large imagery leads the experience, with copy supporting the work rather than competing with it. The warmer voice, visual pacing, and interaction choices suit an audience making a personal and emotional decision.

Key design decisions
  • Make the photography the primary evidence.
  • Give individual images and galleries enough space to carry the story.
  • Connect portfolios, session information, and the inquiry path.
  • Provide practical information without interrupting the visual experience.

Real applications, built around real problems.

Each of these is an independent or personal project, not client work — built the same way client applications are: around the actual problem, not a generic feature list.

These application examples are private, login-protected tools. Sanitized screenshots and short demos are shown in place of public app access.

After starting with very limited database knowledge, I now feel confident navigating databases and working with basic SQL.

Four distinct website directions.

These concepts are not client projects. They explore how site structure, visual language, interaction, and customer action change across different business models and audiences.

What it needed to accomplish

  • Keep the estimate request visible without a hard sales push.

What it needed to accomplish

Sell a small, curated product line without competing with big-box retailers on price or selection.

How the design responds

A tight, editorial product grid signals curation over volume, built for browsing a small catalog well.

Key decisions
  • Favor a small, well-photographed catalog over a large one.
  • Design for browsing, not search — there's little need to filter three products.

What it needed to accomplish

Convince a business buyer to start a free trial by showing, not describing, what the product does.

How the design responds

The homepage doubles as a live product preview, letting the interface itself carry the pitch.

Key decisions
  • Show the actual product interface instead of illustrating it.
  • Lead with outcomes (“respond faster”) before features.

Concept · Neighborhood retail · Community Paws & Provisions

What it needed to accomplish

Feel like a trusted neighborhood shop, not a national pet chain, while still selling online.

How the design responds

A warm, local voice and community framing carry the same ecommerce mechanics as a larger retailer.

Key decisions
  • Anchor the brand in the neighborhood, not just the product category.
  • Keep the tone personal even though the shop is fully transactional.

Your website should reflect the decisions your customers need to make.
