(ongoing) Dogster is the Web’s leading pet sharing service, where every dog has a Web page. Provided: Design and graphic development for new site features.

Dogster is run by my friend Ted Rheingold who took a brilliant little idea he had and ran with it. He just won a 2005 Webby for the site and is busy working to transform the online community into a real business. It’s a sweat and toil story, as he’s already had offers to sell out, but he believes that he’s in the best position to grow the site while respecting its users. I think he’s right.

To date, I’ve pitched in with some simple graphic design, helping create icon sets for new functionality on both Dogster and Catster, as well as linking buttons. I’ve also designed and built two blogs as well. I’m hoping to be able to continue this work in the future, simply because it’s nice to work on something with such a positive and fervent community.
