Projects

The RDSP broke the legislated poverty for people with disabilities in Canada by being the first savings vehicle that allows them to accrue assets. A revamped website was needed that amalgamated an online tutorial, educational guide, online calculator, blog and static content while maintaining brand equity and displaying partnerships. A production plan, management, and advising was provided to create this informative and heavily trafficked website with an easy to use interface. Used Feedburner, Google Docs forms, and a sales pipeline model for data-collection on free document downloads.

As part of the larger strategy for the FamilyTalks project for PLAN and PLAN Institute, a voice that would advocate for change and attract traffic was needed. Al Etmanski a long time proponent for the rights of people with disabilities became that voice online, and was able to secure measurable online traffic and bring attention to a variety of topics related to the project. Additionally, Becoming Visible 2011, a digital publication of 63 essays by contributing authors was made available through the blog a year after it began that has become an international source for perspective on social innovation. Used xml to syndicate publications across a small content distribution network.

A new website for PLAN Institute for Caring Citizenship was needed that served many different audiences. In the end a site that was a news source, blog platform, event listing, digital library, brochure, file-sharing tool, and social media tool was built with Drupal and customized with third party modules and a custom designed theme.

As part of a larger web strategy, an e-commerce platform was deployed for PLAN Institute that was used as a primary destination for marketing activities.

A project that involved convening people touched by disability to gain knowledge of common opinions, seek crowd sourced solutions for common challenges, and find community leaders. The project involved a strategy of in-person discussion groups, an online survey conducted by Vision Critical, anonymous online forums, and the publication of all collected survey results with the expected goal of identifying new people with new ideas to solve challenges in BC communities for residents with disabilities.

Evans Lake Camp has attracted kids every summer since the late 60s. To commemorate its 50th anniversary upgrades of its communicating and marketing tools were performed. The backbone of this facelift was a new website that would allow the society to communicate with its web-savy younger camper generation, while also being a brochure for sponsor organizations, and camp alumni to interact with each other. Used Google Maps API to manage location data of community events and hikes.

Made up of 4 brothers who have played music together since they were young, Organik the Band has a long lists of songs and publications that needed to be made available as a catalogue. A website that accommodated these needs was built to allow for international music publishers to find the work.

Recognized Canadian author, playwright, novelist, and reality television personality Christine Estima maintained a blog of her exploits but was looking to improve the experience of her readers to one that more closely matched her personality. After some consultation, a custom designed blog theme was created that took advantage of her media attention to interact with her fans.

Custom theme designed for my original blog that had many names.
