Problem

Idaho wants to teach wilderness safety to people visiting and they don’t want to be boring and/or authortain.

Solution

Gamification! We created a wilderness safety quiz so people can learn in a fun way. Depending on how well someone does they get a different cute animal. They then get an option to share on social media.

My Role

I was the front end developer on the project. It was my joy to create the page based of the designer’s mockup. In addition to making the page look good I created a program to score the quiz.

Background

Boston University created a YouTube channel to share varied perspectives of graduate school. This was exceptionally valuable for connecting with an international audience.

Problem

The YouTube channel was far removed from the Graduate Education website. This made it hard to drive conversions. They needed a way to share students’ unique perspectives that could easily drive to the enrollment process.

Solution

Interactive Design created video listing and video single templates. These templates allow the site admins to embed videos into their site.

We also created created a video slider to highlight videos on their existing landing pages.

My Role

I was the back end developer on the project. I created the video listing and video single templates. I used cmb2 fields to allow site admins to embed videos without coding.

I was also a resource for making sure the front end output was perfect for the designer to style.

Lastly I made the back end of the video slider to allow site admins to create interactive JQuery sliders without coding.

Problem

The CISE website was initially designed by an external vendor. The vendor was not able to execute their plan inside of BU’s development environment. In addition to this, a large portion of their already small budget was used during the design phase.

Goal

The goal was to utilize the designs by the external vendor and use out of the box products managed by Interactive Design as much as possible to meet the highly custom needs of CISE on their small budget.

Solution

I used many of the out of the box products created and managed by Interactive Design, building on top of them and modifying them as needed. I attempted to keep custom development to a minimum to be mindful of the budget.  

Problem

The media publications of the faculty at Pardee are an important selling point to the school. They needed a solution to highlight posts in their site and associate them with their staff.

Solution

I created a category to isolate their “in the media posts” from their other posts. I then used these posts to create custom queries and attach them around the site using hooks.

Goal

The goal of the World Health Strategy for Happier Longer Lives Book was to cohesively bring together dozens of different medical studies into a single living interactive eBook to share the revolutionary work done by the institute with their followers around the world.

Goal

The goal was to create a mobile responsive website to work in conjunction with the institute’s main website to promote their yearly summit and inform potential patrons with information about the luminaries.

My role

I was responsible for turning the beautifully designed mock up created by Jehan Said into a full functioning responsive website.
