Archive of Old Sites
I’ve been designing for a while now, and I always get a bit of a kick taking a look at my older work. I also think that you can learn quite a bit about a designer’s personality by taking a look at the path they’ve traveled over the years. In an effort to be the proverbial “open book,” here is a collection of my past web sites. Click on any of the thumbnails to see shots of my geriatric home pages.

Jasmine’s WindowBarely out of high school, I found myself using the web as an outlet from the rigeurs of school. Determined to become a geneticist, I spent my days buried in Chem equations, and evenings fleshing out the design ideas that I had scribbled in my notebook during class lectures. It wasn’t until my friends asked me why I wasn’t studying (web) design that I realized that we are all better off making a living out of what we love. Jasmine’s Window began namelessly during my high school years, and took shape during my first few years at Fordham University. Many of the image sets were initially created as dedications to my friends and family. I still tend to pocket my favorite designs for those that I care about. |

Midori GirlMy own domain name, and I thought I was just the coolest. Midorigirl started with the strongest ideas from Jasmine’s Window, and grew to become a collection of interactive novelties. The Nirvana Nook was born from a little boredom and a great deal of interest in making Flash my own. |

Adesina MediaThe Midorigirl.com domain name expired at around the same time that my interests changed a bit – I was looking organize my growing portfolio in a manner that would serve as a digital portrait of my work and work ethic. I find that as a designer, you find yourself wearing many hats – it is in this dynamism of roles that I am at my most creative. I wanted a new site that would reflect this sensibility, and also highlight the direct connection between design and complexity of personality. The notion of identity is mulitfaceted, and I knew that for me to have a personal collection of my work, it’d have to be as ecclectic, interactive, and communicative as I could allow.
