Graphic and code redesign work for an academic research center, including interface, content structure, quality assurance, and ongoing web support.

Implementation & Stewardship

Built from designer-supplied PSD files. The visual design was not mine; the implementation work translated the approved design into a functioning website.

Front-End Implementation · PSD-to-Web

Sadie Medley
