squaregirl.com is a super clean site with nice texture and subtle drop-shadows for depth. She has a wide array of excellent work to browse and sets it all off with a nice casual tone to her prose. I can’t say I’m a fan of symbol only navigation but you land on the blog when you go to her site and it has the hardest symbol to understand. The rest are ubiquitous enough to be almost as good as text. Still…. Anyway, her style is clean and energetic. A simple but enjoyable site.
