JustGo Product Manager & Editor Software: HTML, BBEdit, FrontPage, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator Description: I got a call from an old friend of mine at the Beacon…
I started working as a Systems Editor in the NewsIT Department in Sept. 1999. I worked as a CCI SuperUser and a Macintosh Specialist on the Help Desk. I ended up being the top Macintosh expert in the whole building, the go-to person for all Macintosh issues. I set up networking protocol when we went wireless, I set best practices and I was the main troubleshooter for photo and graphics issues on deadline.
This remote project was a WordPress Website for launching a small consulting business in the health field. A professional logo (with avatars and print & digital versions) was created for this site.
This was a consulting job I was hired for to finish up a WordPress design job for Iacono’s Pizza. They had already chosen a theme and a designer had designed graphics, but I had to do some back-end work to get the staging server to work and I set up the site so we could start working on the design. This was kind of an enhanced editing job. I had to do a lot of formatting in the menu section and basically putting things into place, so they’d work. I tweaked the code to get it to look right.
This was a consulting job doing a WordPress Design/Development job for angicwriter.com. Angie Chatham is a freelance writer based out of Boston, who needed a portfolio website. This job was mostly WordPress work, with a little bit of design here and there. I also set up the backups, SEO, etc.
This was a consulting job for Estep Media Services for a redesign for Phoenix Hydraulic website. All the details were set by the Media Service and Phoenix Hydraulic staff and then they handed it off to me for development.
This was a consulting job for the a woman who has a sewing blog. I redesigned her website and helped her organize it better.
This was a consulting job for the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C. I did a contract for their sister company CAS (Chemical Abstracts Systems) in Columbus, OH and when American Chemical Society asked CAS for a recommendation for a WordPress person, they recommended me. The site they needed help with was for a group called Women Chemists Committee, a group of female members of the society.
This was a 2-month contract as a Digital Designer for the Marketing Team at HealthyDirections.com in Bethesda, MD. The remote contract was through Robert Half.
I filled a full-time role designing digital and print products for the Create Team and coordinated (Managed Projects) in an Agile Environment with the IT Team. This allowed me to use both my design skills and my technical skills in a WordPress environment.
This was a consulting job for a Florida man who is a boat captain on Amelia Island. The site is for his business. I wanted to give the site a nautical theme and used several shades of blue.
I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around holiday time. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season.
