Garvan Traynor Jewellery is an award winning Belfast based business established in 2005. The business specialises in private commissions, designing one-off pieces of contemporary jewellery using a variety of metals and precious stones, including platinum and diamonds.
My main focus for this project was to create a simple, elegant, responsive site to showcase the beautifully crafted jewellery. I was also responsible for creating a logo for the business, which again had to be simple, yet striking.

The Belfast Mela was created in 2007, by ArtsEkta, Northern Ireland’s leading ethnic arts organisation. It has since become established as an unmissable highlight in Belfast's festival line-up and has rapidly reached status as Northern Ireland’s largest multi-cultural festival, attracting a collective number of 60,000 visitors over four years.
I designed and built the Mela website while on placement with the Belfast based web design studio Fresh Made Media.

Performance Hardware are a PC repair company based in Ballymena. They offer a wide range of services to both domestic and business customers, whether it's an upgrade, a repair or an installation. They’ve got it covered!
The focus for the site was to inform potential & existing customers of the wide range of services offered by Performance Hardware, as many customers weren't aware of these.

I designed and coded this store as part of a University module. I used the Performance Hardware brand and integrated the store into the existing site I had created. This project allowed me to improve my PHP and Javascript (jQuery) skills.
The store functions like an online application, in terms of it's responsiveness in loading content, this was achieved with AJAX. Although it's a little rough around the edges (no URL rewriting), it's only a prototype and I am very pleased with the result.

I am currently in my Final year at the University of Ulster, where I am studying Interactive Multimedia Design. I spent the previous year on placement with Fresh Made Media, a Belfast based web design studio where I had the opportunity to work with clients such as Belfast Harbour & ArtsEkta. I am dedicated to developing my skills and I'm committing more of my time this year to focus on web development. When I'm not nudging pixels around on a screen, you may find me playing video games online, reading books on my Kindle, or watching movies.
This site is based on a 960px grid and built using the latest HTML & CSS. The typeface I'm using is the highly versatile Proxima Nova, served through Typekit.
This site is responsive, which means the content will scale to fit on a variety of devices, like your mobile phone or tablet. Resize your browser window to see it in action!
This is the third design of my portfolio. Version two can be found here
