Victoria Mantzoros is a transformation coach whose business is Inspiration Unleashed Coaching. In winter and spring 2018, I redesigned her website and logo. We began with an initial consultation about how she wanted to grow her business. She relies mostly on Facebook to connect and communicate with clients, so the website is intended to an informational page about past events and what she can offer to potential clients online, in groups, or through individual coaching. Throughout the site, there is a theme of gold, emerald, and purple. We chose these colors together because of how they resonant with Victoria and her clients. I assigned each of the colors to the three aspects of self that become integrated holistically through her coaching: mind, body, and soul.

Website Design Fiona McKay Ready has a developing professional and personal coaching and consulting business. She requested a new website design and logo to be able to share her business and practice with others, as well as create a contact area for potential clients.

Seayoung Yim is a Seattle playwright and activist. She asked me to digitize her logo and redesign her personal website in summer 2018. Digitizing the Logo Seayoung’s logo is a modernized version of her name in Korean characters, digitized to look like a stamp. As an artistic representation of Seayoung’s name in Korean characters, the stamp incorporates her heritage with a modern sense of style. I used a scanned photo of the printed stamp to design a digital version in Adobe Illustrator. I layered in a texture I found through Spoon Graphics to give it a worn feel. Paired with Seayoung’s full name in text, this logo is the header of her website and featured on every page and the square logo on its own is the favicon. Website Redesign I used the redesign project to complete one of three required internship credits at Seattle Central College for my web... Read more
