Ana Corrochano is an architect and ceramicist. Her website was created using textural elements such as concrete, glass and clay, combined with a teal accent colour and layered images. For the Ceramics page-set, I used a bespoke hand-written font which carried through to the hero images. Rich ceramic textures and minimalist hero graphics are ever-present in this e-commerce page-set. We also designed her architecture and ceramics logos based on her love of birds and nature.

Miller's Thumb is one of Cape Town's iconic and longest-standing restaurants. They specialise is fish and seafood. They allowed us full creative freedom, which also included a new logo, photography and video production. We used chalkboard, slate and handmade paper backgrounds and related fonts, with orange and green accents. We combined that with stunning food and people images. The end result is mouth-watering. They loved our menu page so much that they used it for their physical menus!

Together with design agency Moonmoth Interactive, we created an e-commerce website incorporating tasting note videos on each product and range. We also produced a short About video along with all the packshots and supporting photographs. The neutral off-white background showcased the striking images, and a bit of "stitching" detail gave an elegant touch.

P4U is a fully managed site which continues to evolve as the business grows. They sell personalised gifts and clothing which can be designed and ordered online. We enabled customers to select a product, e.g. t-shirt, drinks bottle, lunch box, etc, and add images, shapes and text. Add to cart, make payment, and P4U deliver the next day. The site has a fun, creative, feel-good feel on the front-end, and whole lot of ever-changing back-end functionality.
