I saw this designer's work in a magazine and was intrigued because her work is all very signature — meaning everything she's produced has her own consistent style and feel. All of her work has a hand-drawn, doodle-cartoonish look.
Her website is in keeping with her style. It feels like a scrapbook with handwritten navigation buttons and a graph paper background. Each page clearly identifies where you are in the site with a big coral dot that moves from page to page along the navigation bar. The site packs in a lot of samples in a very organized way. Small thumbnails show just enough of the image to make the viewer want to click and find that piece of the puzzle in the big picture. It's like playing "Where's Waldo?" The site subtlely doubles content on one web page by sliding in a smaller secondary navigation bar for a page 2. It's so well done, you think you've seen it on every page.
Anyone seeing this site will know this designer's forte is illustration. This designer's site fits her like a glove.
