I taught a WordPress class Spring Semester 2017 for the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. The class basically took all the skills they had learned previously and merged them into a class using WordPress. Most had never used WordPress or Hosting Accounts and domains before, so it was a little bit of everything.
I designed, set up and managed the company’s bi-weekly HTML email marketing campaign (sometimes more than bi-weekly). I designed e-mails in PhotoShop and after final approval, I sliced them up to transfer and code for ExactTarget Email Marketing tool for scheduling and management.
I worked at OWU for three months as they geared up for their redesign. We worked with FastSpot and their content management system was called BigTree. I helped organize the new site and their content as we transferred as much content from the old site over to the new site.
I did a presentation on how to edit photos for WordPress at the 2015 WordCamp Columbus session. I always try to do something less techie and more design related at these sessions because most of the other sessions are so technical.
I won a bid to build a website for the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I helped organize the stories and reporters hired to do stories on Social Work for the site. The project was part of a special grant. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity. As with most of my sites, I design it and set it up and then I release it to the client and no longer have anything to do with the site. I did purchase the domains for them and set up their hosting account. I organized the content with the help of the client.
One-year Contract via Aquent. A friend from when I worked at Microsoft previously reached out to me for a position as a remote editor for the Microsoft Trends Shift. The job is one of the photo editors who selects the images that run across the bottom of the home page for Bing.com. I worked regular shifts which included logging in remotely to the Microsoft network and I would get photo requests from the Trends Editor. I would go through our resources to find photos that fulfilled the requests, occasionally having to get creative. I would work with the editor to get the right look and feel for the images, generate the captions and headlines and credits.
I designed this site while working for SiteInsight. It was a WordPress site, so I customized the theme that the client choose. They already had a logo. I did a majority of the setup and organization, as well as researching photos for them and editing the photos. I used JavaScript and PHP to setup the interactivity.
I worked on the Design Desk at The Columbus Dispatch on a one-year contract during their redesign. I designed features pages, inside news, the TV tab, the Business section and the Metro section. After the contract ended, I returned about 6 months later for another 6-month stint.
This quirky news slideshow request was for MSN and ran on the site for Friday the 13th. It was about bad luck. I typically worked in vignettes, which the requesting editor liked.
This slideshow request was from MSN.com and ran on the site the day Ted Kennedy died. It was one of many requests pertaining to the Kennedy family.
