I did some work on this logo for someone I met while networking. I had to do all the different sizes and versions for all the different scenarios he needed, print and digital. His company deals with simple web traffic logging and analytics tools. So it needed to convey a modern feel, technology, professionalism and movement. I had to work with parts of an existing logo, but we freshened it up and created all the logical sizes.

I started working as a Systems Editor in the NewsIT Department in Sept. 1999. I worked as a CCI SuperUser and a Macintosh Specialist on the Help Desk. I ended up being the top Macintosh expert in the whole building, the go-to person for all Macintosh issues. I set up networking protocol when we went wireless, I set best practices and I was the main troubleshooter for photo and graphics issues on deadline.
This remote project was a WordPress Website for launching a small consulting business in the health field. A professional logo (with avatars and print & digital versions) was created for this site.
This was a consulting job I was hired for to finish up a WordPress design job for Iacono’s Pizza. They had already chosen a theme and a designer had designed graphics, but I had to do some back-end work to get the staging server to work and I set up the site so we could start working on the design. This was kind of an enhanced editing job. I had to do a lot of formatting in the menu section and basically putting things into place, so they’d work. I tweaked the code to get it to look right.
This was a consulting job doing a WordPress Design/Development job for angicwriter.com. Angie Chatham is a freelance writer based out of Boston, who needed a portfolio website. This job was mostly WordPress work, with a little bit of design here and there. I also set up the backups, SEO, etc.

This was a consulting job for the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C.

The site they needed help with was for a group called Women Chemists Committee, a group of female members of the society.

I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around holiday time. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season.
