Introducing NicoleKidd.com ~ Riveting, Handmade Jewelry Creations

Well, it’s been a while, but I’m back. I’m totally back. Working at Deluxe Digital Media kept me very busy (too busy for blogging anyway), but I have now returned to running Sheriar Designs. The crew at DDM is great, and I’m certainly going to miss them, but while there I learned something very important … that I am really an entrepreneur at heart, and that being an employee – even with a fantastic company – is not ultimately what works for me.

While at DDM I got to work on several great projects, one of them is the new site for Nicole Kidd, an amazing jewelry designer based here in the Bay Area. Bringing her vision for her site to life was a very fulfilling creative experience.

This design took longer to come up with and finalize than any other I have ever worked on – about 40 hours – but when I was done, I knew I had nailed it. It was one of the deepest personal design experiences I’ve been through – I didn’t look at any other sites for inspiration, I built layer upon layer in Photoshop, I really poured my heart into it. I think it felt closer to what the experience of oil painting feels like than any other “designing” I had done for the web before.

Please take a moment to look around and check out Nicole’s truly beautiful work.
