### Web Designer @ UC Davis Policy Institute for Energy, Environment, and the Economy
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | UC Davis
As lead web designer for the Policy Institute I managed forty pages of web content and worked on site development, initiatives, and graphics. I managed the websites through WordPress and implemented changes with HTML and CSS. Upon starting, it was clear that the Policy Institute website was cluttered and lacked information hierarchy. Working with the directors to establish improve page visits and usability, I implemented new methods of navigation, added content, increased the spacing between information, and changed the typography. These improvements on the main site lead me to working on a website launch for the Assistant Director, who wanted a website for policy makers across the U.S. to discuss electric vehicle legislation. I implemented the design standard of the site, creating an interactive user interface, adding photography and info-graphics. Further, my broad design knowledge led me to work on logos, photography, videography, and catalogs.
