CLARION AWARD

ONLINE MEDIA, WEBSITE NEW

In September 2018, I executed end-to-end website development focused not only building a website from scratch, but planning and designing the UI, graphics, content, testing and deploying. The new website included clear calls to action, innovative storytelling and engaging communication about events, services and successes.
