Creating an interactive website for children to better connect with History.

This is a website for an online learning resource. This site utilises Kentico as a CMS, which I learned for this project.
I was the sole developer on this site and worked closely with the designer to create the optimal user experience.

Kentico CMS
jQuery, AJAX, ASP
Designed by Unthink

I am a designer-developer, working as a project lead at Dauntless. I enjoy the fusion of the creative and the technical. I love creating and implementing user-centered designs. I work closely with designers to constantly re-evaluate the design to ensure the best flow and usability. I strive daily to improve my skills and push the skills I do have to create stronger and better user experiences. At the end of the day, there is nothing like punching the air in celebration after solving a complicated problem.

I have many hobbies ballet, music, hiking, reading, drawing. I thoroughly enjoy traveling and learning new cultures, I have been to North America, Central America and all over Europe, Asia is next on my list.
