Louvre is the perfect online gallery. It gives free reign and full exposure to your work. Thumbnails of your art, photographs, et cetera, display in an unobtrusive, smooth-scrolling sidebar. When clicked, any given thumbnail will appear as a full-page background, scaled to fit any screen resolution. In newer browsers, implementation of CSS3 allows the background to scale live as the viewer changes the size of the browser. All this for less than 20kb of code.

Ozone is a sleek, atmospheric website design. It is immersive and versatile, thanks to several interchangeable stylesheets. It also features two versions of a three column layout suited to dense, compartmental websites like forums, communities, online catalogues or shops, and two versions of a two column layout suited to a complex personal site, a small to medium business, or a gallery of art, photography, flash, mixed media, et cetera. Although visually invovled, Ozone does not rely on images or heavy code, but streamlined CSS. This makes it ideal for high traffic sites which require style and variety at a minimal cost of bandwidth.

housesitter

A card designed at the client's request to function as both a business and a personal card. Although she eventually chose a later modified version, the underlying principles are the same: the visual pun on house-sitting reminds her business contacts of her services, while to her personal contacts it simply appears to be a cute portrait.
