Concept Statement:

The concept is to design a functional webpage containing works of design I have completed. The layout will be clean and simple to navigate, with a broad spectrum of works to engage the viewer and illustrate my competency. Parallax scrolling will be used as well a scalable grid format to enable the viewers’ access on mobile, tablet, and computer to have a consistent look and feel. The colors and scheme will remain neutral, allowing the illustrations to be the primary focus. The site will contain examples of: Layout, Logo, Illustration, Typography, and Writing as well as a Resume. Due to the evolving nature of graphic design, updates will be made on a regular basis to show the most current works. My hope is to offer an enjoyable experience.
