This updated website for Downtown Miami's "Beacon" will facilitate the building's nickname by being both a sales-tool and a neighborhood events-portal at the same time.

In the world of real estate marketing, most websites offer very little to the people who have since become residents of the respective building. This website will be different by offering updated event-schedules right on the homepage. The idea is for residents to be able to obtain special offers, or concierge-like services through the site.

Of course, at heart, the site is still a sales-tool, and as such features all the information one would expect to find about the building, including interactive galleries, and floorplans. The look & feel of the website are drastically distant from all other Downtown Miami Projects, and as such will resonate with the distinct look of the building and its "beacon".

When the new photography rolled-in, it was clear that the shots were to be the focus of the entire project.

The building itself is clean and modern, very high-end as well. The website needed to reflect the sense-of-living at Trump Hollywood®. The concept is to openness, and to feature the beautiful photography showcasing the excellent property. The platform we developed is based around image slideshows. A website that is in itself, at all times, a gallery showcasing the photography. We achieved this goal by utilizing a self-adjusting gallery as a backdrop. The technology allows scaling and clipping to always fill the viewport with image.

On top of this technology we built a website that gets in the way of the photography as little as possible. Closable content areas, that are themselves semi-transparent, or slide out of way, allow for the viewer to always admire the property.

The redesign of LGD Communication's Website for 2011 was triggered by a shift in mentality within the agency. With a new focus on results and stellar work, instead of the kitchen-sink, the new website needed to change in order to reflect this approach.

The opportunity was seized to also reinvent the design-language of the agency, bringing the brand onto a contemporary stage using current design and technology. Subtle, even hinted, shadows allow elements to float on the page's surface and become monolithic objects operating on a semi-random, and definitely unrestricted grid. New techniques such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScripting allow for a modern, clean, and updated experience.

The result is a clean, interesting, and very unrestrictive web-platform that will allow the agency to build upon it for as long as needed.

CityPlace South Tower is a huge building in the West Palm Beach Area, some would even call it intimidating or gargantuan. With that in mind, the website for this building needed to be fresh, clean, light, and most importantly friendly.

Experimentation with depth, and dimension brought a playful and light sense to the website. The style was carried over into the weekly email-marketing campaigns which relied on the recognizable brand elements to allow for the weekly changing of the color scheme's friendly, light color.

Paradisus Resorts is in the process of relaunching their global brand by use of videos chronicling the different aspects of the resorts in a cinematic manner. The accompanying main-website will feature full-frame, auto-scaling HTML5 driven video as backdrops. Serving as introductions and transitions within the website, the videos are clips from the major brand-relaunch videos and will be harmonious amongst all the media outlets for this campaign.

The Brand Relaunch will feature the videos themselves, email-marketing utilizing animated gifs, Flash and HTML5/CSS3 driven Display Ads as well as printed materials, all using the website as a final destination.

As lead interactive designer at LGD Communications I was given creative freedom to reinvent the company's web presence. The main focus of the project was to make the website more dynamic and visually enticing. This was achieved through the use of modern technologies such as JavaScript and flash as well as CSS.

The homepage was designated to be a portal into the goings-on of LGD by show casing recent projects in two hierarchies in the middle of the page. The main navigation and thereby, the content structure of the site was reworked heavily into what was agreed upon being a more accessible architecture.

Concepting, design and tweaking every single aspect of the website, including the project-gallery, interactive client-map, blog design, JavaScript interactivity, and micro-pages, was performed by myself along with Designer Chris Van Poos. The initial in-code creation of the project based upon the layouts and content/technology architecture was done by a third-party firm for time management purpose. Almost every aspect of the site has since been overhauled by me to accommodate updates.

Marquis Miami is the tallest all-residential building in the state of Florida and features a uniquely distinct light-crown at night. This web-project was extremely challenging due to its conception-to-launch time-frame of just two weeks. The Creative Directors, Copywriters and I worked day and night at a feverish pace to get this project fast-tracked.

Production was handled by a third party. However, the production team and I were in constant communication throughout the entirety of the dev cycle. Without such tight integration the project would never have gone live in two weeks, not to mention featuring a custom floorplan app, two styles of custom image galleries, a news section, and Google Map API integration.

IconBrickell together with Viceroy Spa & Residences share three downtown Miami skyscrapers as well as the worlds longest elevated infinity-pool. The concept for the site is based on showcasing large images of vistas to reflect the oversized amenities and vistas present on the property itself.

The navigation is big and bold to reflect what we had done with icon's print and e-marketing campaigns, which had been extremely successful.

The site is uses a maximum-size background picture script which dynamically sizes the background visuals to the proper screen-size. The navigation is purely accordion-based and the entire projects was to be rooted in HTML5.

Unfortunately the project never went into production because of mis-allocated funds.

All Email Marketing Campaigns are Designed by myself, and are produced by myself using email-friendly html (1992-style table-layouts with inline css cool-guy throwbacks to pong and plenty of built-in quirks for awesome software like Outlook).

All code follows the "Email-Standards Project" and best-practices for email html.
