Recent Projects
Summer Hiring Campaign - KMW Outreach
Digital Content Coordinator
As the Digital Content Coordinator, I managed the creation of a Summer Hiring Campaign for our client, KMW Outreach. I collaborated with the business owner to design a marketing campaign that would educate business owners on the importance of hiring new workers and providing them with adequate First Aid and Safety training.
​
I designed graphics and wrote copy for the social media accounts to reach a wide audience. Additionally, I created blog posts and published newsletters to correspond with the campaign and drive activity to the website.
Guides' Own
Podcast Host
Guides' Own is the unofficial Guiding podcast that I host with my Guiding friend, Taryn.
​
In my role as co-host, I conduct research and collaborate with Taryn and our producer Jake in the recording of weekly podcast episodes on the topic of Girl Guides, its history and future, and how it affects us.
​
Additionally, I have been responsible for the website design, writing and editing blog posts, designing the podcast logo, and social media management.
845 St. Clair
WEBSITE DESIGNER
As the website designer for this project, I was responsible for creating a digital space in which the tenants and landlord of 845 St. Clair could communicate and share information seamlessly. I collaborated with the landlord and project manager to present content in a clean space and create a positive experience for the users.
​
My process began in a meeting with the project manager, where we discussed the scope of the project, as well as the criteria and milestones. From that point I developed wireframes and edited copy for the site. I generated the website with Wix, converting the low-fi designs and content into an active webpage.
Stretch into Winter
BLOG & CONTENT EDITOR
Stretch Into Winter is a blog post featured on the Stepping Stone Orthotics blog, which is home to Canadian Certified Pedorthist C. Ped (C), Shannon Bunnett.
​
This project began with capturing video and photo
content for the blog post, as well as collaborating
with Shannon to plan the post content. I was
responsible for editing the visual and written
content as well, which I built and designed into the
post using Webflow. Additionally, I created a similar
layout in Constant Contact which I then sent to
Shannon's clients directly.
​
This post, among many others, are projects that I managed as the blog and content editor for the Stepping Stone blog.
