I was hired by Heartwood Projects LLC to design a unique web experience based on the owner Chris' ideas.
For this project, rather than being the lead creative, I acted as both advisor and developer of the products Chris requested. This page
thereby is more of a showcase of my technical prowess in actualizing design concepts
Logo Design
Iterations
Chris had a strong understanding of what he wanted for his logo. For the logo iterations, I helped give his thoughts form and guided him along the creation process.
Final Logos
I supplied Heartwood Preojects with a full color logo and a black & white variant.
Each logo was presented with and without text.
Website Design
Chris wanted to create a more experimental approach with his website. Allured by a space concept, he requested a website where the "pages" orbited like planets.
The website is not complete; it lacks content for the actual pages. This has been an unorthodox project; rather being hired to create a full project, Chris has been hiring me piecemeal to produce content as he is felt led.
I have made Chris aware of some of the pecadillos of the site structure, all to which he has no issue with.

Functionality
Host Communication
The site uses appropriate Wordpress and Woocommerce hooks to allow for communication to the theme
through the backend of wordpress.
Custom Content Boxes
I created tools to allow the user to edit text or images on the site without having to work around a plugin or code.
Malleable Design Architecture
The website is designed for customization. The number of planets, orbiting rings, planets on each ring, etc may be modified; the code with respond accordingly.
