So, Fall came and went around here. And as of an hour ago there was this outside:

Our first snow of the season! And before Halloween – yikes! But being a snow-lover….I’m actually enjoying it!

Around the office there’s been plenty of exciting updates. I recently finished re-designing the New Noise Santa Barbara website – we moved it over from Joomla! to WordPress, and updated the design. Definitely an update that was due, and it rolled out just in time for the conference on Nov 3-6th! I also rolled out a new splash page for Bess Rogers to announce the single off her latest album Out of the Ocean.

I’m also currently working on a re-design of this site – so stay-tuned for a spiffy new look coming soon!

Red Sox Games, fried pickles, ginger beer….warm-weather pleasures have returned! Last week, peta2 launched their new summer campaign – “Flesh is for Zombies” which I designed the website for. The site features a Whack-Zombie flash game, an awesome infographic designed by my talented co-worker Samantha Sanders, a video, and a variety of other zombie-esque features. Definitely a fun site to design!

I also launched a new splash page for the very talented singer-songwriter, Bess Rogers – to feature her song “We Believe in You” which has been featured recently in a Mott’s commercial.

Here’s a little game I designed and built in Flash for PETA’s site CanadasShame.com , which spreads information on the horrors behind Canadian seal slaughter. Make sure your sound is on!

Well, I hesitated even adding ‘winter’ into the title of this post because winter is barely here! Being that it’s the middle of December and we still haven’t seen the first snow, I really don’t feel like fall has left us!

I’m still having fun with my Canon Rebel and figuring out this whole photography-thing. Being that we have so many animals around this house – I can’t help but make them the regular subjects of my experiements.

Here’s some of my photos from the past couple months:

Here’s a sampling of some websites I’ve designed for PETA recently:

Force-Fed! Say ‘No’ to Foie Gras

A website designed to educate the public about the cruelty to ducks and geese in the foie gras industry. People that take action against the cruelty (via email, leaflets, phone calls, etc…) can submit their actions to be counted on the home page
