I have been a pro­fes­sional Online Developer and Designer for seven years and the Online Marketing/Project Manager in a web devel­op­ment agency envi­ron­ment for four years.

Firstly, some results that have mat­tered to clients:

  • I over­saw a user-focused redesign of a national non-profit site with 100k visitors/month. As UX Designer my team and I increased online dona­tions over 750%.
  • I was project man­ager and UX designer on a sweep­stakes micro site and Facebook Application for a national lux­ury brand: as Project Manager and UX Designer I over­saw what turned out to be their most suc­cess­ful mar­ket­ing cam­paign ever with 5,000 Likes and 30,000 entries in 30 days. They went on to run two more sim­i­lar cam­paigns in the sub­se­quent months.
  • Redesign and CMS cus­tomiza­tion of a national engi­neer­ing firm’s web­site with 250k visitors/month: As lead front-end Web Architect and con­tent con­sul­tant, I pushed the aver­age search place­ment across their top 1,000 key­words up 6 places.
