Amazon.com kindle e-books
I was hired on by Amazon to help work on content for their Kindle Fire at the time it was released, then again months later. The team I was on programmed children's picture e-books, comics, cookbooks, and others so they would work right on the Kindle Fire.
Some of the books I helped work on (out of hundreds):

Angela was incredibly thorough with her communication. She explained her process, next steps and reasons (why or why not) to go in a particular direction. I really appreciated the amount of detail that went into her emails before and/or after a particular task or phase.
The Cove School
This school which focuses on childrens' social and emotional learning wanted an updated look for their website. They already had a WordPress website with lots of content, so with a new theme and help from me getting it installed and the content moved over, plus some content updates, their website looks fresh and clean which should help their customers.
This project involved:
- WordPress
- Re-design
- Contact form
- Image sliders
- Blog
- Social media

Cornerstone Youth Center
This non-profit received a new WordPress installation and design. The old website was on an old content management system and was no longer functioning properly.
I installed WordPress, transferred over pages, added a Google calendar, configured the WordPress theme, created graphics for the homepage, created random/rotating text on right of home page, added buttons and elements to the header, added the dark wood background image, created a script to hide email addresses from spam bots, and more.

- Re-design
- Google Map embed
- Google Calendar embed
- Image sliders
- Blog
- Social media

The Seattle Times
I worked for The Seattle Times Company for two years, working as Web Designer for both the news and marketplace websites.
One of the projects I worked on for them was the home page re-design of seattletimes.com. I worked extensively on the new global stylesheet, organizing and thinking through classes and styles that will be used for years onward. I also helped build the structure for the homepage. When we launched I had cut down the amount of CSS (style code) 75% and page load time decreased.

I would highly recommend Angela for building a website. She is responsive, detail-oriented and great to work with.
