Challenges
Taking on the task of transferring the website for my university was one of the biggest risks I took in my educational and professional career. I transferred the website host from the old ownership in Canada to the U.S. for the university. I then had a 3 week turnaround time to collaborate with Ashley Black (who did our branding) to completely redesign and build the website from the ground up. While this was a daunting task, the adrenaline of designing a website for the university that had such a wide international impact kept us moving forward through all the roadblocks we faced along the way. This project ignited my passion for larger scale website and design projects. By the end of this project I felt confident enough using WordPress to start advising others on how to use it.
