This site is absolutely nuts. I love it. It reminds me of Tim Burton. It’s just so interactive!

Her portfolio site is really cool and interactive. It’s also professional and clean, which is something that I really like in a portfolio website.

I love how the site opens when you first log on. The photography is nice and engaging. The interactive background is interesting.
I chose this site because it is simple, easy on the eyes and doesn’t force you to scroll up and down the page to view all of the information.

The site is plan, without clutter, but is very clean cut. I like how she keeps with the soft pink color. The logo really captures me, and the slideshows make you want to click to the next one.

I think this design has a clear layout making it very easy to find everything. Simple and effective.
