Freelance & community projects

I help organizations, small businesses, and creative projects bring their ideas to life through thoughtful design, clear communication, and a strong visual identity. From brand foundations to custom websites, my freelance work blends strategy with hands-on creation—so clients leave with tools they can use and a presence they’re proud of.

Home Afarm Co-op

Role

Creative Director & Lead Product Designer

Collaboration

Co-op board, on-site managers, volunteers, local partners, event organizers and staff

Tools

Figma, Miro, Adobe Suite, Webflow, Square (farm store), HTML/CSS (micro-interactions)

The challenge

Home Afarm Co-op had a functional but disjointed digital presence. Campground systems, event bookings, and farm sales were siloed across platforms or offline, visitor email signups were minimal, and on-site branding felt uncoordinated

What I did

I led a comprehensive overhaul — from brand to bookings — integrating UX strategy, visual identity, and implementation across Webflow, Square, and print collateral.

Key actions
  • Developed a cohesive brand system (logo, color palette, typography, photography style) resonant with the co-op’s Appalachian roots and community voice.
  • Designed and built a Webflow-powered site with clear IA, intuitive CSA membership flow, booking pages, and integrated farm store via Square.
  • Created print and digital event materials (flyers, posters, signage), an illustrated site map, and photography for products, animals, and on-site activities.
  • Implemented front-end micro-interactions (e.g. mobile-friendly buttons, hover states) to improve engagement and usability.
And after

Improved navigation & discovery: New site structure consolidates Events, Visit Info, CSA, and Farm Store — reducing visitor effort to find key info.

Streamlined commerce: Integrated CSA and store checkout through Square — membership and produce orders in one interface; anecdotal drop in abandoned carts.

Consistent visual identity: Album of fresh photography, illustrations, and on-site signage strengthened farm visibility on social and in-person.

Copy and accessibility: Made event descriptions, safe-space statements, and product information clearer and more accessible (readable fonts, mobile-friendly layout).

Impact

Improved discovery: Clearer site information architecture and event pages reduced friction for visitors planning visits and increased event interest. Monthly event RSVPs ↑ 34% following redesign and mapping.

Simpler commerce: Integrated farm store (Square) and clearer CSA membership flow reduced abandoned checkouts and simplified seasonal membership onboarding. Abandoned cart rate dropped by 17%.

Stronger brand & assets: New photography, on-site signage, illustrated map, and event collateral improved social and local visibility for farm events and offerings.

Community impact: Design work reinforced the farm’s community goals (events, safe-space commitments, and local produce distribution), making the site both an information hub and a transactional hub for supporters and members.

Private instructor site

Role

Lead Product Designer

Timeline

1 month from first meeting to launch

Tools

Figma, Webflow, Generative AI, Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop, Cal.com (integration)

The challenge

A solo instructor came to the project with no web presence and a need for a professional, discreet online home to promote classes, manage bookings, and communicate safety and consent information clearly. In one month I delivered a full brand library, two custom photography sessions with post-processing, and a responsive Webflow site optimized for mobile bookings and privacy.

No existing brand or website:
Client needed a professional public face while protecting personal privacy and student safety.

Tight timeline:
Leveraged generative AI to keep the project on time; the client targeted one month to go from discovery to live site.

Content creation:
Required careful tone and compliance with platform/responsibility standards (clear safety, age/consent notices).

New booking flow:
Needed a streamlined booking flow that balanced privacy and friction (screening/consent) with conversion.

What I did

Rapid discovery: ran a 1 week design sprint to define audience, privacy constraints, and business goals.

Privacy-first information architecture: minimal public profiles, clear safety/consent guidance, and an option for anonymous initial contact where appropriate.

Lean UX for booking: brief intake form that captured necessary info without overexposure; integrated Cal.com solution on a password protected page to keep data off public pages.

Brand & photography: two custom sessions producing hero imagery, portraits for the instructor, and a set of abstract/cropped images for public use. All imagery and copy approved by the client for public consumption.

Accessibility & performance: built responsive layouts, semantic HTML in Webflow, and attention to legible typography and keyboard navigation.

Design & product highlights

Clean, neutral brand palette and typography to position the client as an educator and professional.

Straightforward user journey; Home → About → Classes → Contact, structured with clear consent and safety copy on class pages.

Two photography sessions produced a brand asset library (hero, profile, details, abstract textures) — all edited and delivered in web-ready formats.

Lightweight analytics to measure bookings and traffic; simple conversion funnel tracking for booked classes.

Impact

Timely brand launch: ran on schedule (1 month) and replaced a complete lack of web presence.

Discoverability: client reported immediate inbound inquiries and an increase in class bookings in the first weeks post-launch.

Improved business operations: booking automation reduced manual scheduling time and improved client communication.

Professional presence: created the instructor’s public presence while upholding privacy and safety standards.

Deliverables

Full responsive site: Webflow made with generative AI and booking integrations

Brand library: logo variants, color palette, typography, UI components

Photography library: hero images, portraits, abstract assets (web-ready)

Documentation: CMS items and handoff notes, accessibility checklist, content & consent guidance copy
