The Environment
Plumbline is a boutique sized design firm staffed entirely with Sr level designers / programmers; I was extremely lucky to work there. As a Jr designer I worked under the Sr staff and benefited from direct instruction in advanced industry techniques. Without my experience at Plumbline I would never have had the confidence to go freelance.
The Work
The Keep Tahoe Blue site was the first site I built beginning to end. To help me along the Sr. Designer gave me color guidelines and a mock up for the top page. From there I was on my own. Of course all designs had to be approved by the Sr. designer, but all the work, including hand-coding, was done by me. It was a rare opportunity for a Jr designer and I was honored to do it.
The Updates
The current site (pictured below) has been updated since 2000, especially the menus, but a lot of the design elements I created are still there, and the basic site structure remains the same.
