One of my coworkers is involved with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through a friend who has the disorder. She does a lot to organize area fundraising events, and she asked me to make a quick design that they could use for their February dinner dance event.

Last weekend I went to visit my high school friend Yuzi in Pittsburgh, where she’s going to CMU for her Ph.D. I enjoyed the drive down in the sunshine with all the pretty fall leaves, even if it was quite a long drive.

My main project this summer was to design a new look for the local telecom company Globalinx. They wanted something fresh and nimble, something that would set them far apart from other telecoms. The site structure was set up to have four different branches, one for each customer base (one of which would go off to another site), (more…)

As you will now notice, I’ve updated my blog design, replaced the rest of the site with WordPress pages, and moved the whole thing up under rockettium.net instead of rockettium.net/wordpress. There are a few reasons for this.
The main one is that I made the blog and portfolio designs (more…)
