Client stories

From Rockefeller Center to local shops: the problem each client brought me, and the work that solved it.

Rockefeller Center's gilded Prometheus reclining above his fountain, delivering fire to mortals exactly as the inscription behind him promises.

Rockefeller Center

A must-visit New York destination where every decision should run on real numbers. Over three years with the Center’s marketing team, through 2025, I advised on SEO, ad spend and positioning, and conversion rates; reviewed and monitored accessibility to WCAG 2.2; brought the site to nine languages; consolidated its domains; built out the digital presence for its event spaces; and translated between the executive suite and the technical team.

The DRA/W studio site: an oversized black 'DRA/W' wordmark beside a warm wood-and-glass house holding its own in the snow.

David Wallance, Architect

An architecture practice needed a site as precise as its buildings. I delivered a fast custom build on Next.js and Contentful: quick to load, simple to update, distinctly theirs.

The BeyondLive logo: 'BEYOND' in a blue-to-purple gradient with 'LIVE' turned on its side — even the logotype works in more than one dimension.

BeyondLiveX

A maker of immersive 3D worlds for virtual events wanted visitors to experience them together. I built realtime presence into the space: 3D navigation, game-play elements, chat, and guests who can see each other as they explore.

Baked by Susan's hand-drawn logo: a cupcake ringed by handwritten lettering, drawn with the same care as the baking.

Baked by Susan

An award-winning bakery had outgrown its agency and asked me to take over. I ran the digital side end to end: website updates, SEO, social, and a growth plan told through the bakery’s own story.

The Curious-on-Hudson logo: 'let's do stuff!' in white lettering on an enthusiastic splat of blue paint.

Curious-On-Hudson

A well-known STEAM academy was launching a summer camp and needed a way to sell it. I built the new website and ran the launch plan that put the camp in front of local families.

Universal Workshop's mark: a winged figure taking flight in a few confident brush strokes.

Universal Workshop

A science-education publisher had graphics and books but no way to sell them directly. I scoped a print-on-demand service, wired it into their store, and connected an email program to bring readers back.

The Cloth & Curate wordmark in sweeping calligraphic script, cropped so close the flourishes run right off the frame.

Cloth & Curate

A designer and stylist wanted her clothing line ready for Black Friday. I readied the Shopify store, SEO, and paid campaigns for the rush, with live analytics to steer spend once the orders started.

The Bachman Law Firm wordmark: a two-tone monogram 'B' above tall navy serif capitals, as composed as you'd hope your lawyer would be.

Bachman Law Firm, LLP

A firm serving business clients knew its audience was on LinkedIn and wanted a way in. I ran the strategy and targeting, and kept the site current with legal compliance in mind.

The OUTLAW sign-in screen: the name in yellow outlined capitals on black, above a cordial 'Welcome' — the politest outlaw you'll ever meet.

Masur Griffitts, LLP

An in-house legal startup needed one secure place to track their clients' contract documents. I designed and built it: “OUTLAW”, a custom application with security first.

The 1,000 Dreams Fund logo: white script lettering on a shade of pink that refuses to be overlooked.

1000 Dreams Fund

The MentorHER program hosts a thousand mentor meetings a year, far too many to schedule by email. I built scheduling straight into their site: flexible booking, their branding, calendar sync, and email and text reminders.
