DJ Fifth Ace, or Dan Koch, has been a friend of mine since we both worked at the same night club around the turn of the century, when he became one of Waldron Interactive’s first clients. As we’ve grown professionally, so has Dan’s services. His new website needed to portray professionalism with some fun. The site also features a customer management system used for bookings, contracts, payments and client preferences.
Murray Guard is a privately-held security services organization that needed a website redesign to accompany their new brand. I worked closely with the client to arrive at a design that the management and employees could be proud of and potential clients could easily navigate to find all of Murray Guard’s services and contact the company to hire security personnel.
In July 2013, I met without a doubt, the most interesting person I’ve ever met in my life. Randy Gilson is the creator of Randyland, a public art gallery located in the Northside, and Randy’s home. In 2014, I built Randy a simple site on Tumblr, and got him set up on social media sites Twitter, Facebook and Instagram so he could share all of his creativity online. Additionally, we launched a Kickstarter campaign and successfully raised over $12,000 to fund an art installation.
AIME is an acronym for Access to Interprofessional Mental Health Education. The job was referred to me from a designer friend who created the logo and some other design assets for the project. The site was built in Wordpress because the administrators of the site were not happy with the university’s CMS.

The site allows users to explore Pittsburgh in live, work, play and learn categories, and search a database of over 20,000 jobs.
The Pennsylvania Brain & Spine Institute was the first project I worked on for Highmark / Allegheny Health Network. The client had recently onboarded two of the top brain and spine surgeons in the country and needed a new brand and website to promote them. In addition, we created a library filled with knowledge on brain and spine disorders and treatments, providing a great source for SEO.
The Superalloy Committee of the Specialty Steel Industry of North America is a voluntary trade association representing producers of high performance alloys in North America. They do things like track sales trends and topics related to the industry such as trade agreements and law, and probably even do some lobbying on behalf of their member companies. It was a fun little site to build with a patriotic design.
WalkPittsburgh.org is a project of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, Oakland Transportation Management Association and the Airport Corridor Transportation Association. The goal of the project is to promote walking as an alternative commuting method in Pittsburgh. In addition to the website, I designed a pedometer mobile app that will allow people to track steps and report walking metrics back to the website.
PizzaRev is a California-based fast-casual pizza restaurant. Basically Chipotle for pizza. After their initial store proved to be a great success, PizzaRev prepared for expansion with a new website, and a new brand identity provided by Vance Wright Adams. People loved sharing their pizza creations on Instagram, so we turned that into a feature of the website.
