My story is unique. I started out as a student activist which inadvertently led me to become a publisher. This led me to three formidable years with a nonprofit organization, The 1010 Project. The connections and experience I gained there were critical to my development as a web designer and online activist.
Recently I’ve had the privilege to pursue work with multiple businesses and nonprofits. I’ve spent time developing their online presence and working to create a consistent brand. Through these experiences I developed a passion for brand strategies and campaign-centered websites.
Through my travels and interactions with people I’ve come to realize that no matter where you go, people are people. My story may be unique, but it is tightly woven within other individual’s stories. My abilities as a web developer are used to tell and broadcast the stories of the people I have met.
These are projects and concepts I’ve worked on with the people I’ve met [Click an image to link to the home or build page]:
I spent 2 years developing a complete online and offline communications strategy for The 1010 Project. This is the most copmlete example of the breadth and depth of my work with nonprofit organizations. |
As a pro bono service I developed a platform for Elias Fund in a time of crisis. They work primarily in Zimbabwe and wanted a platform to launch campaigns and inform their constituents. |
This was a quick cut and splice project I did with the guys over at Brandswag. They gave me a PSD file and I coded it into functional CSS and HTML. |
This project is much like the Brandswag one to the left, however, there was more complex coding I had to do with Javascript and jQuery. |
I worked on this project with Brandswag and had a lot of fun developing a dynamic content platform. Through one interface, the client has the ability to filter out content to various pages. |
I took the PSD for this site and create a WordPress theme. |
This is a current campaign I am working on developing. Listing food ingredients in a word cloud. Simple but fun idea to push using social media. |
I was contracted through BLK+MTN Studio to translate a PSD file they designed into a functioning CSS, HTML, and Javascript website. |
This one is related to the project to the left and involved similar work. |
While traveling in Kenya with The 1010 Project this summer, I met this small community-based organization and agreed to build them a website. I am still waiting for additional content but enjoy staying connected to the friends I made. |
I have a friend in Kenya who started a small business and wanted me to give him something simple to work with. |
One of the many online campaigns I started. I created the logo. |
A very recent project highlighting art from local community-based organizations. This will hopefully give a voice to musicians, painters, and artists like who have a heart to give back to their community. |
A development project and idea I had for a community-driven Twitter policing community. |
This is another idea I had. Created the platform and design. |
