  • Haiti Relief
    Responding to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, I was part of a two-person team that wrote, designed and coded a four-page relief website in less than 72 hours. The site included more than 100 links to both educate UC Riverside students about local and international relief efforts, as well as sharing the most effecitve ways to donate.

  • Counseling Center Redesign
    Through the redesign of the Counseling Center website, we sought to eliminate the stigma often associated with counseling while also informing UC Riverside students about the multiple services offered.

    The home page features a tabbed interface with events, self-help tools and emergency contacts. Confidentiality and frequently asked questions are also highlighted. Each inside page features a prominent tool tip, detailing specific services and processes based on Google Analytics.

  • Dean of Students Redesign
    UC Riverside's redesigned Dean of Students site aims to make the Office of the Dean of Students as accessible as possible. You'll find a badge on every page with contact information, as well as a link to a page with a submission form. The home page also highlights one of 20 different students down the right-hand side, complete with quotes and a short biography. Every page refresh loads a different student at random.

  • Admissions Website
    Millions of students visit UC Riverside's Admissions website annually from more than 50 countries. It is one of the most high-profile, most trafficked and essential gateways to UCR.

    Thanks to VCSA's newly redesigned Admissions website, no student — in any country, at any time — should visit our online home for Admissions and within 10 seconds not know exactly how to contact a counselor, when or where to apply, or discover more than a dozen compelling reasons why UC Riverside remains a top college of choice — and opportunity.

    Best of all, a translation button appears on every page, featuring the ability to seamlessly translate almost the entire Admissions site into one of 50 languages.
