Google Page Creator
Check out Google Page Creator, a just-launched product in Google Labs that
makes it easy for anyone to create and publish useful, attractive web pages in just minutes.
Among the different page designs users can choose from are five that I designed for Google. I’ve published samples of each of the five designs I built for the application.

It was a thrill working with Google, and I’m very excited to have my work launch with this new application. It’s sure to make web page creation accessible to a whole group of people.
