And I use lots of assets from Standout Shopify Code Toolkit that I modified so it looks like the design that Dana has.

What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Rache's teaching style and materials are unique, aesthetic, and very importantly: make sense. Standout program has the best of both worlds of creativity and coding. Being a designer who loves to venture and learn more in coding, I took many coding courses and most of them were too long/too slow/too boring but not with Standout. Every module sparks interest and Rache's way of teaching makes coding make sense.
Also, the community. I met lots of new friends in Standout, and collaborate on projects and develop meaningful relationships.

What is your dream website project?

New Money Social Club
I had so much fun working on this project. Eden Connelly Tallerico, the founder of New Money Social Club, came to me with a clear sense of her content and bold brand identity design by Cool Eye Creative. Taking my cues from the brand assets provided, I worked on a hi-fi mockup of the one-page design in Figma first, playing with scale and color while keeping accessibility at the forefront. I used the Split Carousel list workshop to highlight what a membership to New Money Social Club includes
Lazy Afternoon
I got this idea in my head for a cannabis farm / dispensary and started out working on brand identity. Part of the reason I love working in the cannabis industry is because of how fun and free the designs typically are, and with a personal project I had total freedom. I started working in Figma before refining the logo in Illustrator. I curated stock imagery from Pexels and Unsplash and then edited all the images to have an on-brand treatment. The web design was less planned out than my usual process — I designed as I built. I made use of the Top Navigation for Tabs to showcase the four strains and the Sticky/Scrolling Blog Item Layout. I learned a lot while bringing in little touches, including a custom cart icon I wound up getting rid of. I'm working on moving more of the site into fluid engine, but I love how it turned out.
17
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Play more with javascript, write cleaner and lighter code, and hone my client experience.
18
What is your dream website project?
Small businesses and service providers invested in giving back to their communities, especially artists, creative entrepreneurs, and dispensaries.

Your website is your digital storefront and you always want to make that first impression memorable to your site visitors to get them to come back woooo!

It is always a dream to work with a client who is open-minded, patient, and trustworthy without micro-managing. They are kind and amazing people that are on the same wavelength as you. I believe beautiful work can come out of a healthy collaboration like that.
