I was hired in 2019 to complete a rebrand for Carrie Levins Entertainment, a local DJ & Karaoke provider in the city of Edmonton. In addition to the rebrand, they were looking to launch their first website to reach a wider client base, as they were only getting clients via word of mouth.

My client only had 4 requests for the completion of this project, they wanted a dark theme motif, a speaker icon to emphasize the music part of their business, that I use a simple, easy to read design that can be used in both their digital and print marketing and most importantly to the client that it must incorporate some shade of purple (it being her favorite colour) as ultimately the brand was to best represent Carrie herself.

As you can see I created a Brand Identity with a unified theme built upon an “Electric” purple, white and black colour palette to create a dark design aesthetic. I wanted to emphasise the feeling of being at one of their events so I chose outward facing speakers, surrounding her name similar to how a DJ stands between speakers when dishing out the tunes.

I used the “Electric Purple” as their feature colour to not only reflect the feeling of the vibrant lightshow these events usually have as purple is whimsical, yet sophisticated and is often associated with luxury and extravagance. I used a simple yet complimentary sans-serif font for the copy as its easy to read and fit comfortably with the other elements of the design.

KARA Family Resource Center is a not-for-profit organization based out of Edmonton Alberta who specializing in helping to promote the healthy development of children by empowering families.

Back in the summer of 2016 while I was in between school semesters, I had the opportunity to complete an internship with KARA where I was tasked to complete a full website redesign, as their previous website was vastly outdated (Built 2006). This gave me an opportunity to test out my development skills and gain experience in working with a real world client.

My focus for this project was to provide them will an easy to use, mobile responsive website that would be a one stop hub for information on KARA’s mission, their values and the programs they offer their clients.

Upon completion of this project I have continued to work with KARA to help optimize and improve the website based on user feedback, and analytic data. This has allowed me to look at potential problems and implement new tools to help improve the user experience for staff and their clients.
