Project: Regional best-seller David H. White wanted a website that showcased his books, his blog, twitter feed, press releases and press kits. The talented Ryan Roenigk (web development and general “I can figure anything out” guru) and I developed a site for David that promotes his books and his branding through social media. David’s blog and twitter feeds are featured on the home page. The twitter bird changes depending on the sport-hashtag featured in his tweet (Ryan rocks).

I also designed the bookcover for David’s newest release, A Sroke of Genius.

David is a former journalist and the author of Leadership Lessons for Life, Shorty: A Life in Sports,  A Man of Character, and A Stroke of Genius.

Thoughts from David: “Kelly Housholder is one of the most intelligent, efficient, and hard-working people I have ever worked with. I have written four books and Kelly has worked with me on the last two. Her work is flawless. Kelly and I started with our work on my third book. She developed a beautiful, thought-provoking web site that stood out and added so much value and credibility to my work. We have continued to work together on my fourth book and she has kept on adding value to my product. I feel lucky to have her.

Kelly has developed my twitter page, my website with the various aspects of it–the books page and the home page. And she also designed my postcards, letterhead, business cards and envelopes. Her work is flawless and beautiful aesthetically.

Kelly is the consummate professional and I have been lucky to work with her. I want to continue to do so. Her kind, personable, happy and diligent nature are also characteristics that make her so appealing.

I highly recommend Kelly for any artistic endeavor you wish to pursue. She is a first class professional and person.”

Congrats to Dawn and Tobie on combining their unique and fabulous talents to bring us H&H Interior Design. Cheers to good design and new businesses!

Inspired by European tradition and American modernism, creating classic and timeless interiors has always come natural for both of these Birmingham, Alabama designers.  They have worked on projects in Savannah, Memphis, New Orleans and all over Birmingham and its surrounding areas.

The last couple weeks at From Scratch Design have been exciting and busy. I’ve been re-branding and handling the web site for Moss Rock Festival. The creative is looking so GOOD! The talented Paul Halupka and Anna Reynolds have been behind the scenes with me. Can’t wait to show it off!

I’ve also been working on some new recruitment pieces for the UAB School of Business, an annual report, and well, you’ll just have to wait and see….

More creative coming soon!

Kristin + Scott’s wedding invites turned out fabulously. I’m so excited about my new friend at Mary Speaker Letterpress (Patrick Masterson), who perfectly hand crafted these invites on his press. Stay tuned for more pics and invites for Kristin+Scott.

Project: FilStaffing (a creative staffing agency) asked me to design a social networking site dedicated to motivating people to act on a desire for better living and total wellness. Zackery Moore, Ryan Roenigk and I collaborated to create a site that connected with experts and peers driven by common interests, shared experiences and mutual questions.  Anyone can create a profile and join in the online community of sharing healthy ideas. LemakHealth.com is built on BuddyPress and sports a completely custom design created by myself and Paul Halupka.

This niche social networking site gives athletes, patients, or anyone interested in health related topics a chance to share information, read articles from experts, as well as engage each other using profiles, messaging, groups, forums, and blogging.

Project: Regional best-seller David H. White asked me to design a cover for his forth book, A Stroke of Genius.  A Stroke of Genius is the tale of an extraordinarily talented young golfer, and is a perfect read for any golf fan. I designed the bookcover as well as promotional collateral for his book signings. Look for David’s commercials on ESPN.

Oh, I did his website design, too.

Project: Design some killer stationary for David White. These business cards and notecards are letter pressed and duplexed. (HOT) Letterpress super hero, Patrick Masterson, did a beautiful job.

Project: Iron Tribe Fitness is a Birmingham based training facility that employs CrossFit as a tool in developing true athletes. Iron Tribe is truly a unique atmosphere of pure adrenaline, competition, encouragement and triumph. ITF hired Whitespace Studio to handle their branding project from the ground up. Anna Reynolds (visionary and project manager extraordinaire) at Whitespace Studio did an amazing job developing a brand identity, apparel, interior and space design, signage and so much more. Anna hired me to help with the branding efforts as well as managing and designing the website project.

I proposed a private social network using wordpress MU and buddypress to create an online community for ITF, the staff, and their athletes. IronTribeFitness.com uses social media interactions (twitter, facebook, blogging, profiles, forums, and more) to build an online community for their “tribe”.  Athletes can post photos, videos, blogs, and recipes as well as have a personal presence on the site with a profile, wall, messaging, groups, and forums. Ryan Roenigk (all-knowing wordpress developer and problem solver), Paul Halupka (designer co-pilot) and I designed custom features such as “Challenges” and “High Fives”.   The tribe looks forward to the WOD (Work Out of the Day”) and weekly recipe postings by the founder, Forrest Walden and his wife, Mendy.

Iron Tribe Fitness launched on February 16, 2010 and within 2 days had over 1000 unique visitors. Less than 6 months from their grand opening, IronTribe is almost at full capacity.
