PORTFOLIO:

Designs that respect the stories being told is my goal as a web designer. The reporting, audio, video and/or photos should be the focus of the multimedia. The design should compliment the storytelling.

Reporter Lane DeGregory's Pulitzer Prize winning story of a 7-year-old girl, unable to speak or feed herself, found in a filthy, roach-infested room, her diaper overflowing. I created a low key design to showcase the amazing story and Melissa Lyttle's photos and audio. View multimedia
