Emphasis was placed not only on voting rights and upcoming elections, but equally on their various advocacy efforts.")

Their extensive site serves a community resource hub for pet adoption, wildlife management, and animal care. LHS' bright color palette and adorable animal photos lent itself naturally to this playful design. The custom mega menu helped organize their vast pages of content into an easy-to-navigate scheme.")

I combined their bold color palette of red, black and white, with impactful images, and striking, interactive design to create a site that showcases their programs and makes information easy to find.")

BWOPA is a multi-chapter non-profit with a training institute and dedicated PAC. Alison Shuman Media provided not only a much-needed design update that showcased and seamlessly integrated BWOPA's multi-faceted approach to political organizing, we also restructured the backend so that chapter leaders had an easy way of updating and maintaining their individual member rosters. We also gave the training institute and PAC separate and distinct websites, while maintaining a common design thread thought the the three sites.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/4085038/011d7aba-69fa-4fc1-bb65-f14e06d00426 "The San Diego Entrepreneurs Exchange (SDEE) is a non-profit run by and for entrepreneurs in the San Diego area whose interests include biotech, pharma, and life sciences. The core of this organization is their members, and as such, the new website puts them at the center. From the sweeping landscape video of the San Diego harbor and club images coupled with various member benefits, to the calendar displaying both SDEE and regional events, you really get a feel for what is it like to be a member of this organization. The updated directory pages feature a clean, organized card-style layout that makes it extremely easy for members and vendors to connect. Completing the look, was a simple palate change to their logo to softer, more oceanic colors used throughout the site in modern gradients.")

They came to me wanting a bolder, fresher look for their website. I combined black and white images with a bright color palette, and gave them a simple update to their logo with white text encircled in a rich blue. The circle motif is repeated on various elements throughout the site, creating a cohesive look. They also wanted their site to act as a resource. For this I made the “Issues” front and center, and added related content to every issue page.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/4085038/57ceaec9-87b6-41c1-9ab4-edd45347e412 "The Katal Center, in coordination with several other non-profits and educational institutions, recently launched the #Less Is More NY campaign to push for parole reform in New York State. This is an action oriented-site with a clear Call to Action in the prime location. As the user scrolls the homepage, the various sections slide into view providing background information and additional ways to get involved. This, in combination with the bold color palette, creates a modern, easy to navigate site that tells a story with maximum impact.")

They have a mobile soup kitchen that parks in different spots around Brooklyn to feed those in need. To complement their rebel-with-a-cause style logo, I used a black, white, and red color palette, asymmetrical boxes for their statistics, and Brooklyn's famous water towers as a backdrop. A custom map with the soup kitchen food truck locations and times of service was also included.")

The use of black and white images balances the bright color palette and helps to focus the viewer on the organization's mission.")

Their community is predominantly Mexican. Inspired by the bright color palette seen in Mexican art, I combined blue, orange, green, and pink for a dramatic look. Coupled with this is a modern slanted design element throughout the site for added impact.")

Combining big, bold images of theatre productions, a lively color palate, and marquee-style fonts, the website provides parents with the info they need and entices kids to be a part of this great organization. Additionally, I design and create all of the theatre's promotional products including production posters and seasonal brochures.")
