RECENT WORK
Please bear in mind that I have varying levels of control over these sites, and their appearances may now have changed from my original designs.
Andrea Parr for Louisville Metro Council District 9
Since late 2025, Dan has been donating his design services to the campaign of Andrea Parr, a democratic socialist running for an open seat Louisville’s Metro Council, representing District 9. As Art Director for the campaign, Dan has developed a logo system and visual brand identity, designed printed merchandise and literature, shot and edited candidate photos, and developed a website for the campaign.
New Music On The Point
New Music On The Point (NMOP) is a unique retreat for composers and performers of contemporary music, situated in a bucolic summer camp setting on picturesque Lake Dunsmore in central Vermont. They host participants in a June Festival and a new September Retreat for early- to mid-career composers, and have been in operation since 2011. Before they hired yesIsaid to create a new website for NMOP, their web presence had been relegated to a section on their parent organization’s website, pointcp.com. I created a stand-alone site for NMOP, using warm colors, loads of great original photos and videos from the client, and lightly quirky typography to reflect the uniqueness of NMOP’s programming.
Bright World Tutors
Bright World Tutors is a new venture by some of the folks behind International College Counselors that provides online academic tutoring and test prep to middle school, high school, and undergraduate students. They returned to yesIsaid for their website, logo, and identity design. The site presents their services with dedicated pages for each test or academic subject for which they offer tutoring, with a persistent call-to-action prompting users to request pricing. The site will continue to evolve as the business grows and adds folks to their roster of Academic & Test Prep Specialists.
Silver Chiropractic and Medical
In 2024, yesIsaid developed a new website for Silver Chiropractic and Medical as they expanded their offerings to include regenerative treatments like PRP and stem cell therapies. The Miami-based practice’s website features easy navigation, eye-catching calls to action, and detailed service descriptions, enhancing their digital presence and reinforcing their commitment to advanced pain relief and medical care.
Jane Rigler
I had the pleasure of creating an elegant website for Jane Rigler, a flute player, Deep Listening® facilitator, composer, and scholar based in Colorado. The site features a clean, organic aesthetic that reflects Jane’s creative spirit and emphasizes her professional services and achievements. The minimalist design features muted cool and earth tones, and a custom video carousel with a subtle ripple. Section dividers and corners are all rounded or wavy to convey a meditative, restful vibe. The responsive design ensures that the site looks great on all devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
International College Counselors
When the folks at International College Counselors came to me, their website was showing signs of age. While the site was performing well and the company was diligent about consistently updating the site’s content, the front-end was looking like it was from 2009—because it was. Over the course of the latter half of 2022, I collaborated with the team at ICC on a top-to-toe redesign of their extensive website, emphasizing colorful gradients, vibrant hero images, tasteful loading animations, and bold, highly legible typography.
The Yvar Mikhashoff Trust for New Music
The Yvar Mikhashoff Trust for New Music was founded in memory of pianist, composer, arranger, scholar, and bon vivant Yvar Emilian Mikhashoff to support contemporary musicians and music organizations. The Trust was nearing an end-date on the hosting arrangement for their ancient website at the end of 2021, and they took the opportunity to completely reinvent their site with yesIsaid. I collaborated with them to build a new website that celebrates the legacy and virtuosic performances of Mikhashoff, featuring dozens of embedded music files, downloadable scores, and streaming/purchase links for a number of recordings.
Bandy Ranch Floral
Bandy Ranch Floral is a family-run, sustainable flower farm based outside San Diego, California. They provide farm-to-table wholesale flowers, foliage, and bouquets to retail markets and professional floral designers across the United States. They hired yesIsaid to design a new website for the company. The site highlights their variety of products with beautiful photography and drone video footage of BRF’s growing fields. yesIsaid also created a promotional video for the company, expressly for display on the website’s gallery page.
Middle Branch Partners
In 2019, Middle Branch Partners hired yesIsaid to create the website for their new MedTech mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. The founders wanted to differentiate themselves from their competition with streamlined, effective content, and an dark sapphire color theme with matcha accents. The site has undergone a couple redesigns over the years, most recently to coincide with an upgrade to Squarespace 7.1.
Depth Counseling
Established in 2018, Depth Counseling is a growing psychotherapy collective whose practice takes a psychoanalytic approach to mental health challenges. Dan created a site with a clean monochromatic color theme in muted cyan, original photography of meditation labyrinths in and around Chicago, and abstract, hand-painted photo treatments and charts. To accommodate the growing scale and stature of the practice, yesIsaid recently helped them migrate their site from Squarespace 7.0 to a new site on WordPress using the Kadence theme.
Havrilla Designs
Faced with the uncertainties and changes that accompany the ongoing pandemic, award-winning floral designer Adam Havrilla of Havrilla Designs needed to pivot from his event and wedding floral design services toward emphasizing his consulting and education work. We set up his new site to showcase his expertise with galleries, video embeds, and a blog that Adam updates regularly. The on-site branding includes a series of eight original floral illustrations designed by Dan for a more custom, upscale look.
