Tejani.com is a Bridal Jewelry e-commerce website.We overhauled this once simple, archaic e-commerce site and turned it into an effective, enjoyable shopping experience.
With 255 products, various options, and multiple other types of content; this site challenged my understanding of information architecture. I was able to explore focused interactions systems: advanced & complex form structures, dynamic filter sets, and multiple page states with ajax.
Plaza construction is one of New York City's premier construction companies. As they expand into a national business they needed a website redesign to support their expansion.
My responsibilities was to create an effective information architecture that would expand as the company expanded. I also manage the design direction with a fellow designer. Another difficult task was ensuring all content and URL redirected properly minimizing the chance for error pages.
Beem offers the ability to send money & make purchases with a simple text message.

I worked with Maiarelli Studio to create a promotional site for this japanese design company. They created the design and I built the site with Ruby on Rails.

Skateboard Industry Website Analysis
Possibly a bit outdated, but this was one hell of a project.
