Portfolio
Protyo
Co-led the modernization of a legacy website for a growing AI firm, implementing a new design system and scalable front-end architecture.
The New York Times
Revamped emails using Responsys and Responsys Personalization Language (RPL) in both static and dynamic formats. Built modern, adaptable, fully responsive designs with dark-mode support and cross-client compatibility, rigorously tested in Litmus. Used Photoshop for image editing, Figma for design overview, and Monday.com for workflow management.
Darkmodeify Me (Beta)
Led development of a quality-of-life tool that auto-converts email templates to dark mode, cutting development time and boosting engagement and email conversions.
ORT America
Spearheaded a website redesign for a sleeker, more contemporary aesthetic. Manage the creation and analysis of web content — pages, donation platforms, event registration, and email campaigns. Drag the slider to compare before (left) and after (right).
Traceroll
Launched an open-beta MVP of a social media platform for whiteboarding creativity on an infinite canvas — a fresh community that breaks the rigid templates of Facebook and Instagram.
Data Impact Program
Commissioned by Vital Strategies (sponsored by Bloomberg and the CDC) to build a modern, understated site for a non-profit audience. Worked closely with the Google GeoCharts API to craft an interactive map, and leveraged Webflow alongside a freelance designer to hit deadlines.
MyPublisher (now Shutterfly)
During my internship at this digital photo distribution company I got my first exposure to the MVC framework — addressing bugs, fine-tuning elements, and resolving social-media meta-scrape issues.
WTFP — Where's the Family Planning
A campaign raising awareness around contraceptives, teen-pregnancy stories, and family planning. Built mini-applications and assisted on an image uploader with auto-crop capabilities through a seamless WordPress platform.
Main Street ROI
My first post-college role, centered on SEO and the importance of online presence. Enhanced sites through redesigns, built new pages, migrated content, and set up Google Business, Facebook, and Yelp profiles plus on-site adjustments that drove discoverability.
