Gilles Larrain
Photographer and artist
A portfolio site for a legendary photographer whose work spans five decades and multiple disciplines. The design prioritizes the work — large-format imagery, minimal chrome, and a browsing experience that feels closer to a gallery than a website. Built for longevity and ease of update.

Hudson Valley Cleanup Crew
Cornwall-based environmental volunteer organization
A custom WordPress theme for a grassroots cleanup organization serving the Hudson River Valley. The site includes integrated donation and volunteer sign-up flows, a dynamic event calendar, and a CMS the volunteer team can manage themselves — no developer required.
