Projects

Art Department

UAlbany Art Department

Created a new website for UAlbany Art Department's website

UAlbany's Art Department had a problem of having an outdated website. Their website used UAlbany's old template and they were looking for an update. Given the creative nature of the department, there was a particular focus on user experience and design. Creating the website also gave me a great opportunity to enhance my Dreamweaver and Photoshop skills, given the many photos that were used as banners. Link:

Art Department

UAlbany Office of Access & Academic Enrichment (OAAE)

Created website to increase OAAE visibility

OAAE provides UAlbany students with great support services, but it didn't have a strong online presence. This project helped to increase OAAE visibility among both students and faculty. Besides HTML and CSS, during this project I also expanded by UX skill set. Since OAAE has so many programs I needed to interview all stakeholders to find out how they wanted their page to be structured (i.e. user journey, navigation, etc). Link:

Art Department

UAlbany Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)

Updated the look and feel of EOP's website

EOP is a very well respected program at UAlbany with high visibility to both high school and college students. It was important for them to have a great website. As EOP is an application-based program, I made sure the correct application / verification forms were available for download. Also, I created a tabbed navigation view to show online faculty profiles of the different EOP counselors. Link:

Showcasing my web development capabilities

As I reflected on my goals, I realized that I have a passion for both art and technology. Both subjects are embodied in Front End Web Development. I genuinely enjoy creating new things and manifesting visions. Web Development gives me a great opportunity to do that. So I thought to myself, what better way is there to showcase my ability than to actually create my own site? Link:
