Phatrocks is a project that I am proud of. The site features 5-6 hundred items and needed to be built around a content management system that the owner could edit themselves and add to over time. Inventory is constantly changing, and they needed a solution where they could have featured items on the home page. The colors for the site had to be bold, but with impact. This project involves a lot of PHP programming and customization to integrate payments and the content that the owner desired.
Phatrocks has a directory of products broken down by category, making it easy to find what you are looking for. Also, there is an index page with detailed information on the properties of each type of stone and crystal. There is also an animated informational presentation on chakras and what stones affect each chakra.

Scrubbin’ Bubbles was a packaging concept design for a client who wanted to venture into children’s products. The concept was for the hand soap bottle to play a tune every time the child pumped the top. The child would wash his/her hands while the music played, making hand washing fun for children.

Knoxville Website Design: Southern Kitchen

Southern Kitchen is a custom Knoxville website design that I created to help them to market their services.
