Limbic Software

(Site)

Limbic Software, an iPhone game development company I co-founded, needed an attractive website to showcase the company, as well as our games. Bright colors with simple gradients and rounded corners define the theme of Limbic, and our playful style.

TowerMadness for iPhone and iPod Touch

(Site)

For Limbic Software's first iPhone title, TowerMadness, I developed a bold header design which introduces one of the main characters of the game, the Sheep, and highlights the gameplay with videos and screenshots. An integrated Twitter feed presents updated news on the site.

Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA)

When the Seattle Supersonics moved to Oklahoma and became the Thunder, assets had to be redesigned and rethought site-wide to introduce the new brand.

Darkroom

(Site)

The Darkroom Photo Management System allows photography editors and publication managers to organize and assign assignments to their photo teams. I developed Darkroom in PHP while I was the Photography Editor at the UC San Diego Guardian, and it helped immensely with my department. After graduation, I extended the system into a commercial product which is still in use today.

Leaf

(Site)

The Leaf site is oriented towards medical professionals and lab managers looking for a new way to collect and analyze their diagnostic data.

Stanford University

The Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts (SICA) commissioned us to create their new site. We helped them develop a visual style and theme for their organization which was creative, yet maintained a structured academic style. The design incorporated an automatically-changing background which changes for each page the user visits. This lent a dynamic feel to pages which would otherwise change less frequently. The front page of the SICA site uses Macromedia Flash™ animations to present upcoming events in an engaging way.

UCSD Persian Club

The studio accepts a few pro-bono contracts each year, and because of their non-profit contributions to the UCSD community, the UCSD Persian Club was one such contract. The primary design goal for the Persian Club website was to develop a classy and stylish platform from which the club could make announcements and provide information about members and meetings. Reliefs from the ruins at Persepolis were colored and integrated into the design to give a distinctly Persian theme.

Our Own Redesign

A redesign was long overdue for the studio's own site. The original design was geared mainly for displaying 2D and 3D art, but since then the content has dramatically changed, making new demands of the site. One of the goals for the redesign was to develop a technical blog where articles about design, photography, and rendering could be published. This blog contains context-driven links to other articles, as well as photography and art from the gallery. It is designed from the ground-up using standards-based CSS and XHTML markup, and pages are generated on-the-fly using a Content Management System (CMS) residing on the webserver. The new design will go live by the end of this summer.
