Instructional Design and Delivery (IDD) Canvas Informational Page

Gonzaga University Instructional Design Delivery Department

IDD Canvas Informational Page, 2023

Gonzaga was switching online educational platforms onto Canvas, as a result there was a learning curve for a lot of faculty members, so I added a subset of pages that provide information about Canvas, resources, tools and workshops to ease the transition to Canvas platform.

IDD Director's Blog Web Development, 2022

The Director of the Instructional Design and Delivery Team throughout his career wrote several education related blogs and wanted to publish several of them on the public IDD site.

Center for Teaching and Advising Web Development, 2022

The Provost is the umbrella department I work under at Gonzaga. There are 3 other departments that report to the Provost. Once IDD's new site launched, The Center for Student Academic Success and Center for Teaching Advising departments also wanted their sites redesigned in similar styles. So I designed and developed CTA's site after I built out CSAS's sites along with their subsequent pages for both the Public Facing Gonzaga site and Gonzaga's internal portal.

IDD Instructional Media & Technology Web Development, 2021

Instructional Design and Delivery Web Development, 2021

When I started working for Gonzaga, the IDD team had an existing page on the internal Gonzaga site, but it was buried in a location that didn't make sense and the look and feel of the site did not reflect the creativity of the team or what we were capable of. Due to my ability to develop websites, I redesigned the entire IDD site, and also brainstormed with the Gonzaga web development team with where would be a more appropriate location for the site. I then designed and developed all subsequent pages as well as planned the navigation structure of the site. On the public facing Gonzaga site, there was no IDD site, so I created one and also designed and developed the subsequent pages.

Website Design and Development, 2013

Gruber Painting is a well established Residential Painting Company in the South Bay & Peninsula, but for the longest time they had no web presence.

For the final stage of the project, I programmed the site using php to make it database driven and for the contact forms. I used a combination of HTML, CSS, to create the responsive layout, and jQuery and JavaScript on the projects page for the interactivity.

Elite Recruiting Films

Website Design and Development, 2011

I redeveloped the ecommerce website for Elite Recruiting Films. They were a small startup company that specialized in sports recruiting and highlight videos for athletes looking to get recruited or applying for sports scholarships. Their original site used an online website template with a ton of unnecessary and messy code. I improved the usability of the site by consolidating redundant pages and adding a PHP contact form as a way to filter the user feedback and to better assess the needs of the clients. I also used best practice methods to clean up the HTML and CSS code.

One of the most successful ways that Heat and Control market their products is through Tradeshows and PMMI is one of the largest Tradeshows that market packaging and product handling equipment. I worked with the rest of marketing team to completely revamp the booth for PMMI in 2013. I played a major role in the development of the new booth by designing and producing all of the graphics that were used. The biggest challenge I faced was having to work with photos that were not large enough to expand to the extremely large scales the booth demanded. Using a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator, I came up with various creative methods and design strategies to make the files work. The end result was that the CEO of Heat and Control commented that it was one of the best-looking booths he had seen in a long time.
