“Good design makes you feel good even if you don’t know why.” I create meaningful, virtual experiences with an approach grounded in a passion for storytelling. As both a designer and a writer, I focus on both the visual presentation and the written narrative. I help my clients to distill what makes them unique and to embrace it.
All of my work is custom, so that a site doesn’t feel templated, matches a company’s branding, and expresses depth, personality and professionalism.")

The new site was built on Squarespace to enable a more nimble in-house process for frequent project additions, press features and new partnerships.")

Their philosophy centers around creating spaces that are as practical as they are beautiful and the website was crafted to be a direct reflection of that ethos. Every element was carefully considered to ensure that the site not only looks stunning but also invites visitors to imagine the possibilities for their own homes.
The Power of Imagery
One of the most powerful aspects of The Kitchen Connection’s new website is the use of rich, professionally shot imagery. These images take center stage, capturing the attention of potential clients from the moment they land on the site. The imagery serves as a visual narrative, guiding visitors through a journey of what’s possible.")

The website design is playful yet dramatic, featuring mouth-watering professional flat-lay photography of each of their custom recipes available for sale on the commerce website.")

The design of the new website goes beyond functionality; it’s an extension of the luxurious experience that the spa is known for. The interface is clean and elegant, with a minimalist design that lets the content and imagery take center stage. The color palette — warm greens and ivory — and nature-based imagery evoke a sense of relaxation and renewal. The branded script font is personal and welcoming yet sophisticated in its use as an accent.
One of the standout features of the new website is its extensive collection of service pages. Recognizing that potential clients seek detailed information before committing to a treatment, each service offered by the spa is given its own dedicated page. This level of detail not only educates potential clients but also instills confidence, reassuring them that they are in expert hands.")

This imagery is carefully curated to symbolize the therapeutic process—a journey into the unknown, where each client’s path is as unique as the collages that grace the site. Each image speaks to the uniqueness of the therapeutic experience, where no two journeys are the same, and where healing is an art form as much as it is a science.
The color palette of the website is deliberately chosen to contrast with the darker, more mysterious setting. Feminine and bright tones are used to create a sense of balance, offering a visual metaphor for the light that can be found even in the darkest of places. This contrast not only makes the website visually striking but also serves as a reminder of the hope and positivity that Amanda brings to her practice.")

Throughout his medical career, he has encountered numerous patients with chronic illnesses, witnessing firsthand the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges they face. These experiences inspired him to create Foreign Bodies, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of those living with chronic conditions.
The website's branding is a critical component of its overall impact. Warm colors, such as soft white, rich taupe, and light gold, are used throughout the site to create a soothing and inviting atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is clean and modern, with a focus on usability and accessibility.")

Aside from serene peace, her guided walks in Ohio can also offer stress and anxiety reduction, blood pressure reduction and a boost in concentration and memory.

Janet’s design aesthetic is based on the belief that the unique qualities of each site, house, and client inform the architectural response to a particular design problem. Her residential designs express the vocabulary of the local California architecture and lifestyle through a modern lens and she believes that a successful project blends functional programmatic needs and the complex details of modern life to create a beautiful, memorable home suited to the climate, landscape, and culture of contemporary California.
Her website, then, needed to reflect this same sense of place, using the vocabulary of design, form and function and simple elegance. Her project portfolio is front and center, displaying full-screen, high-resolution imagery to invite the site visitors into the spaces and really get a sense for her style.")
