RECENT SIDE PROJECTS

  • Ada Ryland Consulting Helped to structure a handout for reference and review covering Ada Ryland’s Early Stage Startup course. In addition to organizing the material, I am responsible for editing all copy and writing the final version given to students.
  • Austin Blues Revue Authored a marketing series for the April edition of Austin Blues Revue’s “Stories From The Road.” The brief but clever advertisements were used on social media to promote Alan Haynes and his connection to the Austin music scene.

  • Transient Mic Reconfigured the new website for Transient Mic, a mobile podcasting venture. I am redesigning more versatile logos and more responsive page layouts in addition to writing the update final copy.
