I’ve worked in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) field for twenty years, mainly with website design and development, content management and publishing, and delivering email and social media campaigns. Areas I specialize in include user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, information architecture (IA), content management systems (CMS) and customer relationship management (CRM) tools.
During my career, I’ve worked numerous digital project roles with private, public, nonprofit, and charitable organizations, providing insight into the best digital tools to leverage when strengthening a brand’s online presence for various types of businesses and industries.
As an independent contractor in Canada's National Capital Region (NCR) I've applied my digital skills during the review, analysis and recommendations on improving functionality, accessibility, layout, and new technology uses for several national non-profit organizations and federal government sites.
In addition to my HTML and CSS coding skills, I have a great deal of creative expertise working with various applications to produce marketing materials, create graphics and logos, and optimize photos, video and audio for different media formats.
