Web Design
Amherst Island
In 2017 I undertook the task of rebranding and redesigning the website for my home town: Amherst Island. It was my job to convert the old website whose architecture hadn’t been updated in 20+ years to a modern CMS, find out what residents and visitors want from their website, develop its navigation, and create content. Its main goals are to generate interest in the island from visitors and to provide information for residents.
I continue to maintain this website into 2025.
St. Larry's Pub
Before I became manager, St. Larry’s Pub didn’t have its own website, so I took to building one on the Squarespace platform. I created all of the website’s content and took many of the pictures included on its pages.

Marketing for Good
One of the capstone projects in the Advertising and Marketing Communications program is putting on a trade show to raise awareness and funds for local charities. Because of COVID restrictions we weren’t able to plan and run our usual in-person trade show. Instead we needed to do it virtually, and I was tapped to be the one to figure out how – on a basically zero dollar budget.
Using WordPress and a number of free plugins and some coding and customization work I was able to build the Marketing for Good platform on which we ran the show. Our vendors (fellow classmates) had more than 200 unique visitors over the three-hour show, had hundreds of interactions, gave away prizes, and drove traffic to our chosen charities.
In the end I was very pleased with the result, and I ended up being recommended for an SLC School of Business Next Best award for adaptive thinking by the professor in charge.
