Mikasa website that Monica helped produce the content of launches!

I worked from December 2011 through March 2012 helping to produce the editorial content for  the relaunch of Mikasa.com's well trafficked website. The four launch issues, all on different themes of tableware design using high end Mikasa tableware were on bridal "Happily Ever After," contemporary entertaining "Modern Dining" trendy tablescapes "Fashion Plates" and modern spin on classic look "Classic Style."

Got to work with a very talented team of expert e-commerce executives, marketing people,  photographers in Boston as well as website designers and programers in Long Island.

I think the end result of a great team effort looks fantastic! There is a plan to roll out at least one new issue every month.

The link to the site is below. Come back and visit every month to see a new issue!
