It's not often I work on masculine design projects, but when I do, they're usually for Chris. It's always great to work on these things, because it forces me to go outside of my norm. I end up doing more design research & I usually find some great design sites in the process.

Chris needed a portfolio site to showcase his recent work in programming. In the last year, he's transitioned away from finance & moved towards programming web apps that manipulate data. It's really cool to see his excitement about what he's learned or accomplished each day when he gets home from work. He's really awesome at learning new things.

Chris naturally did all of the programming from scratch and I did the design work. I used a more neutral pallette with pops of muted color, inspired by fashion's fall brights paired with neutrals. I manipulated LostType's Ranger font for Chris's logo & remixed a gorgeous Bokeh photo from Teleyinex to fit Chris's color scheme. I can't emphasize enough how awesome the fonts are on LostType are. I've talked about it before & I want everyone to know about the insane talent behind that site. Chris programmed some really tricky little details into his site that I'm just in awe over. I love how his site turned out. Click here to check out Chris's Portfolio.
