  • mobile mockup template

    Mobile mockup template designed for inhouse use at Sagetopia. The effort is to effectively display static mobile mockups on a desktop browser (incase your client does not have a mobile device). If the client does have a mobile device handy, the same mockup seen here is responsive down to mobile. This will give the client an effective static representation of how their site will look on a mobile device. Thus, bridging the gap between a static mockup and a fully developed website in an efficient manner. (Website design displayed within template by Christine Fay).

  • cushion

    Cushion is my first typeface. This typeface is an exploration of how the geometric sans serif can inherit distinct qualities from the cushion cut diamond. The cushion cut is an antique cut that most often resembles a cross between the “Old Mine Cut” common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a “Modern Oval Cut.”
