Used branding in collaboration with Ashley Black to completely redesign the website for our international audience. Since I graduated, a team of students have taken over the website and worked on creating a database for easier participant onboarding process and continue to iterate the website design. Check out this awesome non-profit and what the team of students continues to create for the community.

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 entrepreneurship department. I then had a 3 week turnaround time to collaborate with Ashley Black (who did our branding) to completely redesign the website from the ground up. While this was a daunting task, the adrenaline of designing a website that had such a wide international impact kept us moving forward at lightning speed through all the roadblocks we faced along the way. While I had already been familiar with WordPress, it was still challenging to me when I began my senior year. By the end of this project and graduation I felt confident using WordPress, I even began advising others on how to use WordPress.
