Four case studies, one goal

Modern design that clears the path between a visitor and the thing they came to do.

FORLOH site reskin

FORLOH

01 / Ecommerce

The main goal for the FORLOH site reskin was to update the site with a modern look and improve user experience. We made the fonts consistent across the site and de-cluttered product and collection pages.

How I work

Design with a reason behind it

Beautiful work is the baseline. I design with conversion in mind so the site earns its keep.

01

Start with the goal

Before pixels, I get clear on what a visitor came to do and what the business needs them to do next.

02

Design the clear path

Consistent type, de-cluttered pages, obvious next steps. Aesthetics and usability pulling in the same direction.

03

Refine before launch

I sweat the details on every page and breakpoint, so the finished site feels as good as the mockups did.

About me

I design with outcomes in mind

I'm a CRO Designer at ATRA Digital with 4+ years of experience as a Senior Web Designer. I design for the eye and the outcome at the same time with clean, considered visuals that are built to convert, not just look good in a portfolio.

My path into design started with a high school web design class, and before that with tinkering on computers and video games. That mix of curiosity and technical comfort is still how I work today.

I focus on aesthetic design paired with user-centric functionality, and stay current with industry trends and technologies so the work never feels dated.

Design
Aesthetic first, always

Layout, type and color that make a brand feel considered.

Conversion
Designed to convert

Clear paths and honest hierarchy, so visitors act instead of hesitate.

Technical
Hands on the build

Comfortable in the code, so designs survive the handoff.

Curiosity
Still tinkering

The same habit that started with computers and games keeps me current.

Have a site that deserves better?
