PROJECTS THAT I'VE WORKED ON

Building Networks is New Zealand's leading authority on building compliance, offering training, support, and resources to help professionals navigate building regulations and ensure safety and quality in construction. Their mission is to provide practical and relevant compliance information to make New Zealand buildings safer and better.

As a Digital Doer at Building Networks, I've honed my skills in HTML, website management, tech support, email marketing support, and admin support. My role involved a variety of tasks, including drafting and publishing blogs, creating and managing email campaigns, fixing website DNS issues, and developing course content. I also handled ad hoc tasks like document reformatting, ensuring that all materials were polished and professional. My diverse skill set and adaptability allowed me to effectively support Building Networks in maintaining a strong online presence and smooth operational workflow.

As a Digital Doer for Alina Kibbel, I've leveraged my expertise in HTML and website revamps to enhance her online presence.

MQ Tooling Ltd. is a small New Zealand business that supplies engineering tools to enthusiasts and professionals alike. The founder reached out to Manaaki for help revamping their website’s UX/UI design, and I jumped at the chance to assist.

Creating the homepage was straightforward—I used one of Shopify's free themes and customized it with their drag-and-drop feature. For the other pages, I had to roll up my sleeves and use my frontend development skills to format texts into tables and boxes properly and fix links to open in new tabs or the current tab as needed.

Chooza is an awesome online marketplace where every purchase helps support charities across New Zealand. It works by offering great deals and giving shoppers the option to donate directly or buy with a portion of the price going to charity. I had the chance to work with Chooza during my internship as a Digital Doer under Manaaki.

During my internship, I put my frontend web developer skills to use by coding pages in HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. One of the challenges I faced was understanding the term "slug" in websites, which caused some backend issues. After some research, I figured it out and managed to keep the website running smoothly while continuing to work on other pages.

S360, or Sustainability 360, is a small company that developed an app to help any size organization estimate its carbon footprint. S360 was the other place I interned as a Digital Doer under Manaaki.

I worked on digital marketing during my internship and set up a content planner with a month's worth of material. Since the planner could be updated occasionally, I collaborated with their designer to create templates for different content ideas.

Rugby Bricks was created to give players, coaches, and fans the best tools and info for rugby. Through the Digital Doers Academy, I met Kale Panaho, their Managing Director, thanks to Manaaki.

For a program assignment, I did a Conversion Research Optimization (CRO) audit for them. The trickiest part was the lack of clear instructions on how to do the Heuristic Analysis and which pages to focus on. I decided to start by looking at the pages that probably got the most traffic.
