Roles & Responsibilities
Web Developer: I developed custom internal and external applications for business optimization.
Digital Designer: I designed assets for the website, email, social, and other marketing efforts.

Project Details
Goal: Increase user engagement and sale conversions through creative problem solving and marketing efforts including email marketing, website user experience design and development, photography, and video production.
Audience: The end user of these websites are middle-aged men looking to purchase protective footwear for work.
Challenge: One of the challenges I faced was finding ways to simplify the user experience with the end user being someone who does not use technology in mind. I recreated the entire interface for the primary brand and polished up the others to overcome this challenge.
I was responsible for web strategy, website redesigns, troubleshooting and fixing issues, and making content changes on four brand sites. Under my direction, websites saw an increase in both conversion rate and revenue compared to the previous year. I contributed to these advancements through improved web experiences, optimal lead generation, and effective design.
I also worked with the other Front End Developers and Brand Managers to create and curate a cohesive style guide in an effort to create consistency, ADA compliance, and mitigate design confusion. This was a vital document for current and future developers or others working with the company's digital resources.
I helped increase the email subscription rate to Lehigh Outfitters, Lehigh Safety Shoes, and SlipGrips significantly and increase email marketing revenue by roughly 200% per year. I developed automated email programs, defined campaigns and promotions, increased the quantity of custom emails per week for each brand to 2 and improved the overall quality of the program. With a relatively small team, I was responsible for helping plan, setup, create, execute, and reflect on the email programs.
