Education and non-profit websites come with some of the most complex information architectures due to the number of audiences they need to serve. Below are several examples of different scales of projects and objectives in these two industries. I’m happy to talk through the process of any of these!

Lancaster County Career & Technology Center
Our local CTC had a wrap of only teaching high school students when they really offered so much more. A brand refresh and site architecture fit for a university—this school is off to a fresh start.

Feeding Pennsylvania & MARC
The new CEO of Feeding PA has been fantastic to collaborate with on multiple meaningful projects. These are projects #2 and #3 that I got to work with her, with the primary goal of communicating to both her team and the general public: what do we do? Feedingpa.org is still in development, but tests are showing it’s already much clearer to understand the role Feeding PA plays in tackling food insecurity.

Stevens & Smith Center for History & Democracy
Phase one of this website is to showcase the project and garner donations toward the museum’s construction. This project included a full branding experience that reflected the diversity and significance of two individuals at the forefront of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Phase two will showcase the final exhibits and sell tickets and memberships to the center.

Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV)
No other client has made a long-lasting impact on my life as this one. How do you meaningfully show the breadth of damage from domestic violence? How do you help people find safety centers as quickly as possible? How do you raise awareness of the issue for the people around you? An architectural feat, clean UI, and a dash of storytelling, this project still hangs on my personal wall of fame.

Brandywine Native Plant Database
More native plants = more pollinators and healthier wildlife! Brandywine set out to make native plants in Pennsylvania more accessible to the general population. I’ve created a robust plant database map for easy exploration, and integration with a Pinterest-like garden board experience to further motivate visitors to get more native plants in the ground.
It’s free to sign up–you should make some plant boards!
