Alexander Rodino — Mindfully Intelligent Leadership Website Design
What a pleasure it was to work with Alex Rodino.
A graduate of elite military programs, including Ranger, Airborne, Jumpmaster, and Pathfinder schools and a recipient of honors like the Bronze Star and the Order of Saint Michael, Alex brings a leadership philosophy forged in pressure and grounded in purpose.
When he reached out, he didn’t just need a website for his upcoming book Mindfully Intelligent Leadership. He needed a digital platform for everything ahead: future books, coaching, consulting, and a message meant to resonate far beyond the page.
On short notice, I built a modern, scalable author platform that captures his voice: Battle-tested, emotionally intelligent, and sharply focused. This wasn’t just about design. It was about building a brand foundation rooted in clarity and trust.
What I delivered:
• A premium website designed to anchor his identity and message
• Custom book mockups and branded visuals for blog + social
• A clean, focused blog space for his thought leadership
• Full integration with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn
• SEO setup for visibility and long-term search performance
• Optimized contact forms and newsletter-ready architecture
Every design detail, from the typography to the layout flow was crafted to reflect Alex’s tone: direct, no-fluff, and deeply grounded.
Whether it’s for future readers, podcast hosts, coaching clients, or high-trust teams, this site is ready to grow alongside Alex’s mission.
SynthStreet Anthology – UX / UI & Web Design (Fantasy / Sci-Fi)
Rock Williams approached me again, this time with his new synthwave-inspired anthology of short stories. I was more than pleased to dive back into his world and help bring it to life.
My Role:
- UX/UI and full website design (Squarespace)
- Brand identity and visual language
- Story-first layout and copy integration
- Web design, mobile optimization, and SEO setup
The goal was to build an immersive, high-impact digital home for the anthology that felt as glitchy, bold, and neon-drenched as the stories themselves.

Dilbar Fayz — Full Website & Brand Design for a Culinary Storyteller
Dilbar Fayz, an author, a culinary researcher, a traveler with stories soaked in spice and sunlight — didn’t just need a website.
She needed a home for her voice: a space where her recipes, travel diaries, and thoughts could live, grow, and move people.
We spent days talking about her rhythm & her vision.
Then I translated all of that into design.
The result is a modern, elegant, and soulful platform for her debut book, traditional recipes, and cultural storytelling.
Every detail — from the logo to the typography, color palette, and page flow was crafted from scratch to reflect her unique identity.
We created a dedicated Books page to highlight current and future releases, and structured the blog into two distinct paths — one for her travels, and one for her recipes — giving her content space to breathe and grow.
The layout is built for longevity — scalable, clean, and ready for what's next.
We built in Substack integration, scalable blog architecture, and a layout that’s built to evolve — not just to promote a book, but to support a growing brand.
