I design for small businesses, for individuals, for charities and start-ups. I am based in Stoke Newington, North London. Here are some of my recent projects and client recommendations:
Applecart Live
Wordpress website and blog for an East End arts initiative. The group wanted a textured site to complement the urban feel of their brand. I set up an online store with integrated PayPal shopping cart to sell their merchandise.
I designed a new skin for Save the Children's UK website. My new layout allowed for quicker and easier updating of content by editors and contributors. I added a contemporary news carousel to better showcase the charity's amazing photography.
"I have to say I'm so pleased with it Geri! I've been singing your praises and word is spreading on Church St!"
Suzanne Fisher Murray
I designed this website for a Canadian writer/editor/journalist now settled in London. Suzanne wanted visitors to explore her own "personal tube map" of the countries she has worked in. The site showcases her extensive portfolio, from the BBC World Service to international charities.
Logo and Wordpress site for a cancer research trust.
The trustees wanted the site to have a scrapbook feel and show the things Finn loved - superheroes, art and 'gogo crazy bones' characters.
I connected the site to Paypal to take donations online and to Facebook Connect to help generate momentum.
Mobile website interface for Save the Children. The challenge was to strip back the content and layout while still maintaining the charity's brand. The site hooks up to Paypal to take donations online.
Website for holiday rental firm in Vale do Lobo, Portugal. The brief was to reflect the bright, sandy beaches and sunny climate of the Algarve.
I designed a clean layout that enables holiday makers fast and easy access to property details, rates and images.
"Geri quickly got a feel for our brand and the look we wanted to create. She kept us up to speed on progress throughout and delivered ahead of our deadline."
Sunflower Yoga
Logo design and Wordpress site for North London Yoga teacher.
"Thank you for being absolutely brilliant Geri! I will send more work your way and recommend you to people."
House of Modern Living
Concepts for hospitality company. I undertook a usability analysis of the existing site, suggested a new structure and produced concepts. The focus of the company was shifting from the family market to corporate relocations so the new site needed to reflect this.
"fantastic work. Really like the simplicity, feel, fonts used, and some of the key pictures selected are truly outstanding."
everyone.org
I designed the interface for this charity campaign website. The site acts as an aggregator for news and social media feeds so the brief was to keep the interface clean, simple and functional.
"Geri was very good at taking feedback and building on it to create fantastic designs. She listened carefully to what I and other team members wanted, and was very helpful to me working through the process of design, and information organisation. Worked to deadlines with a quick turn around."
Ignite Fitness
Website for North London personal trainer. The client's brief was to create a personal site where potential clients could get to know him and the services he offers.
"Thank you once again for all your work – I am delighted with the site."
Wanstead Cakes
Website for gourmet cake company. Main objective to showcase the gorgeous cakes! I built the backend in Wordpress to allow for quick and easy updates to the image galleries.
"Geri was fun to work with and quickly got to grips with our brand. The site has helped to generate new business and was well received by our existing clients."
Born to
I designed interfaces for this charity campaign microsite. The aim of the campaign was to highlight child mortality of under 5's in the developing world. I kept imagery stark and used the campaign's muted colour palette for maximum impact. I also designed a layout for the charity's YouTube channel and Facebook app.
While working as a senior designer at UBS I undertook various projects on the UBS public site. I produced financial services microsites, HTML emails/newsletters, banner advertising, product demos and animated screensavers pushed to a global audience.
