WEBSITES

The selected websites below (and this site) represent a selection of work lovingly created on the WordPress platform. My skills in web design are fully self-taught, but, boy, am I ever stubborn when it comes to figuring out new techniques. I’m also familiar with Wix, Tumblr, and Weebly, but for versatility and options, you can’t beat WordPress.

I’m slowly learning to code, filling in gaps in my design knowledge as I need to do so with the help of tutorials, Google, and students willing to teach me.

From November 2018-October 2019, I worked as a freelance designer for Back to Basics Learning Dynamics, a Wilmington, DE tutoring center. I modernized, re-organized, re-designed, and copy edited all pages from a previous site.

Augustine Hills School, a business branch of Back to Basics Learning Dynamics, relaunched with a modern new design in April 2018. Working as a freelance designer for this Wilmington, DE tutoring center, I updated, re-organized, re-designed, and copy edited all pages from a previous site.

Back to Basics Translating & Interpreting was relaunched with a modern new design in April 2018. I updated, re-organized, re-designed, and copy edited all pages from a previous site for the translating and interpreting branch of their business.

The Panther Press was designed in WordPress using the SNO platform alongside student collaborators.

It is currently managed by an enthusiastic student managing editor who is excited about updates in the 2023-2024 school year.

The Haven Yearbook site was designed in WordPress, with the goal of centralizing all of the details and essential information about our yearbook. It has become a ‘one stop shop’ for parents, students, and the school community.

The Friar’s Lantern was designed in WordPress alongside student collaborators. The site broke 50,000 hits in the 2015-16 school year, and launched with a full redesign in fall 2017. It received a CSPA Gold Crown for hybrid publications in 2018 for 2016-2017 work and a Silver Crown in 2019 for 2017-2018 work.

In 2019, the school re-launched the site at a new domain with help from SNO, copying the original design.

I created this site to document a class project. We attempted to give away handmade mugs outside a grocery store, effectively “mugging” storegoers and documenting their responses.

This site documents a student project at Harvard University. The project, executed co-curricularly with the help of students in 2013, involved ceramics, interviews, a lot of logistics. One of the highlights of my teaching career. Read more.

The highlight of this blog of my experience at the National Council of Education in the Ceramics Arts (NCECA) was how I used to site to engage with my students while I was away at the conference. Students commented over 300 times on posts, and I was able to share the experience with them, answering questions and collecting resources while I was at the conference.
