While the initial website build was completed by a local agency, I served as creative director and project manager for the build of core pages. The initial website designs for the homepage, about page, and member pages were designed using a style guide + wireframe that I provided to the agency.
During the initial build, I identified opportunities to vastly improve the usability of the site by building in advanced membership features, a more robust application system and automated email flows. To accomplish this on our extremely tight budget, I conducted extensive research and testing of various Wordpress plugins and tools to create a unique combination that allowed us to enable all of the features we were looking for.
After the initial launch, I took over the web design for new pages (blog, blog posts, member dashboards, innovator dashboards, and application review pages) and handed my designs off to a contracted developer to build.

As work commonly happens both remotely and in-person, land acknowledgements allow us to engage in ongoing reconciliation by reflecting on individual connection with and responsibility to the land.
