WordPress Web Design
Art Creations by Theresia
Theresia McInnis’ site has a very neutral palate that showcases her designs to purchase through e-commerce (Woocommerce). She teaches classes that can be registered for and purchased through the site. The Google Calendar shows the upcoming events she has and some of the local events that artists would be interested in.
Ginger Laughlin Artist
This is my personal site for paintings I create with watercolor, acrylic and oil mediums. I love art and everything about design! A WordPress site was designed using vibrant colors, & plenty of white space providing visual breathing room for the eye drawing attention to individual paintings. I chose a serif font to have a curvy, friendly, look and feel. I love art and everything about design!
Winner Designs
Linda’s site is a WordPress site with e-commerce through Shopify. Her business is teaching quilting through use of templates she sells. I also designed her logo, using Adobe Illustrator, to highlight the handmade flowers she is known for.
Deluna Winery
De Luna Winery’s e-commerce site was designed to reflect the daring, bold & adventurous spirit of pirates. Colors & heading font were chosen to match the logo, reflecting old pirate ships & swashbucklers. I chose the wooden background to emulate a ship’s decking.
Kukuwa Fitness
Kukuwa Fitness is an African dance workout created by Kukuwa. The site has an e-commerce feature to sell gear, membership, subscriptions, and testing for instructors. Streamlining web processes resulted in improved profits for the company with 454K new impressions made as of May 2018.
Trio
Trio Environmental Solutions site uses an edgy geometric background of blue to compliment the logo color. The site is clean like a waste removal company’s site should look!
Burtt Law
Michael Burtt’s site was designed using his favorite color blue and adding a punch of color with the gold. He wanted the site to look professional but also approachable.
White Interior Design
Johnsye’s site is clean and fresh with a focus on the images of her work. Clean look with plenty of white space in keeping with the trend. Some interior photography by me.
Mobile Design

Project Details: While perusing Dribbble, I ran across a couple of Instagram
designs and rebounds. I decided to work on a design of my own making. This design was created in Sketch.
Spending App design
Project Details: This is a project that I did to display the ability to create
a mockup in Sketch. Check out the prototype @ My App Design
Print Design
Squidmark Branding
Project Details: I created the squid on the world with the tag line, “committed to teach to expand your reach” because I believe in empowering clients to expand their business’ through marketing and branding.
DanceCraft
Project Details: I designed the logo using simple circles and curves to create motion using simple shapes. The font was chosen to compliment the round shapes in the logo. The colors were selected by the owners for the vibrancy of the magenta and coolness of the teal.
Logo Design
Turf Grass Reports
Project Details: This logo was designed for an app that golf course superintendents would use to measures golf course turf. I wanted to show the grass above & roots below the Turf Grass that has a texture that looks like soil.
Winner Designs
Project Details:
Linda’s logo was inspired by her original design of handcrafted flowers. She is fond, of as I call it “fussy designs”, not simplistic. The font was hand drawn for Linda using curves and loops to compliment the illustrated flowers done in Adobe Illustrator.

The Rocket Logo
Project Details: Iterations of the logo using bold primary colors for impact. My personal fave is 3rd down on the left because the rocket is part of the “k”.
