TCAP Program Website
Digital Storytelling Website—Showcasing Impact & Inspiring Support
My Role: UX/UI Designer, Visual Storyteller, Front-End Builder
Tools Used: Blocs, Adobe Illustrator
Goal: Develop a digital storytelling website for the Tar Creek Apprenticeship Program (TCAP) to highlight student-led restoration efforts, cultural engagement, and environmental impact — with the goal of inspiring ongoing sponsorship.
Approach: Before anything was designed, I worked closely with the project manager to shape the story we wanted the site to tell—making sure visuals, content, and photography would all align. I created early wireframes to map out the structure and flow, giving the team a clear picture of how the site would come together. From there, I designed and built the site in Blocs, focusing on accessibility, clarity, and emotional tone. I created custom infographics and icon-style visuals using vector elements to support the key messages, and brought everything together through testimonials, imagery, and thoughtful calls to action.
Outcome: The final site brought the story of TCAP to life—capturing the energy of student-led restoration work and their connection to place, culture, and purpose. Through visuals and testimonials, the site captures how students gained hands-on skills, reconnected with their heritage, and became passionate about ecological restoration. Their excitement and growth make a strong case for continued sponsorship, ensuring TCAP’s lasting impact on future generations.
REGION16 Website
Impact Story Microsites—Showcasing Literacy Success in Tribal Communities
My Role: UX/UI Designer, Visual Storyteller, Front-End Builder
Tools Used: Blocs, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop
Goal: Develop a series of microsites to highlight the literacy accomplishments of R16CC’s initiatives across Alaska, Oregon, and Washington, with a focus on Tribal communities. The aim was to share the stories behind these efforts through thoughtful design and visual storytelling.
Approach: I worked with the team to plan the structure and visual tone of the sites—thinking through how each story would unfold and how design could support that. Each microsite followed a shared layout structure for consistency, but carried its own theme and visual tone to reflect the identity of each state. I built the sites in Blocs with a focus on clarity, warmth, and cultural respect. Along the way, I created supporting visuals, layouts, and iconography to help tell each story in a way that felt connected but never generic.
Outcome: The microsites helped amplify the work being done across these communities, giving program leaders a place to share results, celebrate stories, and invite future collaboration. The final design offered a quiet confidence—one that made the impact of the work easy to see and feel.

AbtCreative Video Production Website—Streamlining Video Requests
Goal: Create an intuitive website to guide clients through the video production process, from scriptwriting to AI voice selection.
Project: Designed and built a user-friendly site for AbtCreative Video Production, simplifying video requests with a clear step-by-step process. To enhance engagement, I incorporated MidJourney-generated robot illustrations in the hero section, adding a fun, futuristic touch while showcasing the studio’s creativity.
