Web Design Portfolio

  • "After years of searching for the right format to present my work, the inimitable HR Hegnauer swooped in to rescue me, curating a portfolio that feels both elegant and true to my practice. HR’s design organizes my work beautifully, and dare I say, the presentation makes the paintings look even better than the originals! I am so honored to be represented through her vision. If you ever need a new website, look no further—thank you, HR!"

    —BRIDGER BARKSDALE

  • "Working with HR exceeded my expectations. I felt I had fairly unformed ideas about what the site should do and how it should look. HR listened carefully, asked all the right follow-up questions, and delivered a website experience that realized my aesthetic and conceptual goals. I guess I’m saying it looks cool, and it introduces my work to new audiences in ways that really support my efforts on the page. HR has a deeply integrated intelligence and skill set that combines technical expertise with an artist’s sensibility to render or translate the more inchoate things we’re trying to telegraph about our work, and I feel incredibly proud to be represented by my new website."

    —FARID MATUK

  • "The Red Read is something between an altar and an art-installation. It now visually reflects the radical spirit and decolonial mission that The Red Read strives toward. If you are looking for assistance with your web design, I cannot recommend HR highly enough. She is truly the gold star standard (and certified Squarespace Platinum Member) for innovative design. Looking at her portfolio, I knew my work would not just be safe but aesthetically elevated in HR’s hands."

    —CHRISTOPHER MARMOLEJO, THE RED READ

  • “I'm a total Luddite, so when I found out about the wonderful and talented HR Hegnauer Design Studio, I was over the moon. HR is also a writer, so she really understands weirdos like me.”

    —JOY ROULIER SAWYER

  • “I am thrilled with my new website. Working with HR is a delight unto itself, as she makes the process of assembling materials both sensible and interesting. Her design looks great and communicates a clear sense of my multifaceted work in poetry and performance. I am very grateful for the degree of HR’s engagement with the content, which is above and beyond anything I would have expected.”

    —CARLA HARRYMAN

  • “Overland has been in progress for over a decade, but it wasn’t until I began working with HR that I came to see all the possibilities inherent in the work I was already doing. Not only did she create a beautiful, interactive website with the extensive materials I sent, but her vision prompted me to consider new techniques and approaches that I would not have otherwise considered. HR is a true visionary, and I am certain my work will continue to benefit from our collaboration for years to come.”

    —SASHA STEENSEN

  • “I had decided to create a website for my writing, but I had no idea how to go about it. I'd heard that HR designed websites, and I emailed her about the possibility of putting one together for me.  Immediately she responded, full of enthusiasm and questions as to what I envisioned! She immediately put me at ease as to the process and we bounced creative ideas back and forth. Working with HR, I felt so fortunate to be getting such professional suggestions from such a delightful source. Her ideas were fresh, cool, and fluid and best of all she listened to my vision. I'm so excited to have her graphic pizzazz energizing my website, while still feeling it's me, that we built it together.”

    —MAUREEN OWEN

  • “The Four Queens website relaunch and rebranding is not only beautiful, but is also dynamic and user-friendly. I’m always getting positive feedback and compliments regarding the site's user-friendly pages and aesthetics. I know that relaunching the website is what has made my business goals go through the roof! Collaborating with HR was seamless; she grasped my needs immediately and delivered outstanding results at lightening speed.”

    —SELAH SATERSTROM, FOUR QUEENS CO-FOUNDER

  • "HR's ability to organize complex materials into user-friendly and easily navigated pages is astounding. HR fully understood my vision! She worked quickly and efficiently to translate content into beautiful and intuitive visual arrangements. I wanted my book, Mud, Blood, and Ghosts, to have another life on the internet, and HR made that happen. Most book websites are simply advertisements for the book. But the website HR created is an artwork on its own merits. It's beautiful, dynamic, and easy to use. Working with HR was so easy because she got what I wanted right away and made it happen! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out."
