Rawlings Garden Care

Rawlings Garden Care

Project overview

Rawlings Garden Care needed a digital presence that reflected their reliability, professionalism, and local charm. The goal: a responsive site that converts casual browsers into loyal clients, while feeling approachable and grounded.

My role

I led the front-end implementation, SEO tuning, and conversion strategy. The design emphasizes clarity, warmth, and accessibility—no frills, just thoughtful UX.

Process Highlights

  • Responsive layout tailored to mobile-first users
  • SEO optimization for seasonal and local search terms
  • Strategic CTA placement to guide user flow
  • Calming color palette and soft textures to evoke trust

Challenges and Solutions

Balancing simplicity with conversion: the site needed to feel clean and approachable, but still guide users toward booking services or making inquiries.

Solution: I introduced subtle hover effects and micro-interactions to keep the experience engaging without overwhelming. These cues help users navigate confidently, reinforcing trust while supporting clear calls to action.

Mythroot Games

Project overview

Mythroot Games is a fictional indie studio concept I created to explore genre-blending UI and narrative-driven layouts. The site evokes a sense of mystery, magic, and modular storytelling.

My role

Full front-end development and creative direction. I treated this as a sandbox for experimental layouts, tactile textures, and lore-infused UX.

Process Highlights

  • Interactive homepage with lore fragments and scroll-based reveals
  • CSS grid and animation to mimic mythic unfolding
  • Calming UX features for emotionally intense content
  • Visual language blending folklore with glitch aesthetics

Challenges and Solutions

Creating genre contrast without visual conflict: the site needed to feel grounded in folklore while still showcasing modern front-end precision. I wanted the experience to evoke mythic depth without slipping into visual clutter.

Solution: I blended earthy, organic motifs—like textured backgrounds and rune-inspired accents—with crisp digital elements, including sharp grid layouts and smooth transitions. The result is a layered interface that feels both ancient and intentional, inviting users into a world that’s tactile yet technically refined.

Eria Thorne

Project overview

This site was built for a fantasy author seeking an atmospheric, immersive space to showcase their work. The brief: evoke the tone of their stories while keeping the site clean and navigable.

My role

Custom-coded the front-end, designed the layout, and implemented accessibility features. The site balances narrative depth with practical clarity.

Process Highlights

  • Homepage designed as a story gateway
  • Layered backgrounds and subtle animations to evoke mood
  • Mobile responsiveness without losing atmosphere

Challenges and Solutions

Evoking fantasy without falling into cliché: many genre sites lean heavily on dragons, scrolls, and sepia tones, which can feel dated or overly theatrical. I wanted this site to feel immersive and literary without relying on tired tropes.

Solution: I used subtle genre cues—rune-inspired dividers, poetic transitions, and layered textures—to suggest depth and magic. The layout remains clean and modern, allowing the author’s voice and worldbuilding to take center stage.

My role

I designed the visual structure to feel soft and inviting, with muted tones and clean typography. Accessibility was a priority throughout—ensuring that all users could easily browse the menu, explore seasonal drinks, and understand the café’s offerings.

Process Highlights

  • Homepage structured like a digital welcome mat—clean, centered, and informative
  • Seasonal drinks page designed to feel like a rotating feature wall
  • Mobile responsiveness without losing atmosphere
  • Reusable components for easy expansion (e.g., adding new drinks or menu items)

Challenges and Solutions

Avoiding generic café aesthetics: Many hospitality sites lean heavily on rustic wood textures, coffee beans, and scripted fonts. I wanted Jessie's Café to feel fresh and modern without losing its cozy appeal.

Solution: I used a muted grey palette, simple grid layouts, and clear text hierarchy to create a sense of calm. Repeated navigation links and consistent page structure help users feel oriented, while subtle genre cues (like seasonal drink highlights) add personality without clutter.
