Altamont Craft Fair 2026
Managing a volume of different kinds of data into a seamless guide.
This website is designed to show a community-wide event. The craft fair was not housed in one location. There were multiple locations, and visitors to the fair needed to know where they were located. Most visitors could "walk" around to the different locations. In designing this website, I wanted to ensure that the community could easily connect with the non-profit organizations that make Altamont special.
I enjoyed creating this website for the fair, helping the non-profits in the village find their "voices" online.
The different subpages needed to show:
Names of the vendors/crafters and what they sell at their booths/tables
An interactive map that shows where the different locations, that housed the crafts, were located. The map has placemarkers, that when clicked, not only show the location, but have additional information about each location.
A list of non-profit organizations that benefited from the craft fair.
Additional information for visitors to the fair such as admission fees, parking, restrooms, pets, ATM's, etc.
A list of food trucks and the kinds of food they offer

This site serves as a professional service blueprint for a local small business, focusing on how to present technical service data in a clean, approachable way.
It demonstrates the ability to take a wide range of business offerings—from complex masonry to seasonal lawn care—and organize them into a logical hierarchy that guides a customer from curiosity to contact.
By prioritizing clear navigation and interactive checklists, the site proves that a business can look authoritative and established even without a large library of professional photography.

Lead Capture: Integration with Google Forms to collect customer project details and contact info. (Coming Soon)
This site serves as a digital home for a long-standing pen pal program, documenting the heartfelt connection between local students and deployed sailors across the globe. It transforms decades of physical letters, banners, and visits into an organized, inspiring digital history.
This project required a different approach: creating a digital record for a 19-year long project. Unlike a modern marketing site, this archive was intentionally designed for simplicity and permanence, ensuring that the heartfelt letters and photos remain the primary focus.
Key Features Include:
Digital Storytelling: A collection of "from the heart" student letters, banners, and personalized messages that showcase authentic student voice, and the overwhelming response from the Navy. The Navy responded with letters back to the students, flags flown at sea, official ship plaques, Navy ballcaps, and autographed photos from ships' captains. It captures the tangible gratitude and reciprocal respect between the classroom and the crew.

Class Websites By Teachers In The NYS Master Teacher Program
Empowering STEM educators to master digital classroom design and resource sharing
This site serves as a curated showcase and instructional resource for the NYS Master Teacher Program, specifically designed for STEM teachers in middle and high school. The site was purposely designed as a "one page" directory to host multiple cohorts of the Master Teacher Program.
The purpose is to centralize and celebrate the digital portfolios of master teachers, providing a single point of access to various classroom websites created during Google Sites training sessions. By collecting and organizing these homepages into a professional hub, the layout demonstrates how educators can use web design to enhance student engagement and peer-to-peer collaboration.
The design utilizes a simple, streamlined, one-page layout with alternating color emphasis to create a clear visual rhythm, making it easy for visitors to distinguish between different cohorts at a glance.

Structured Professional Profiles: Each entry provides uniform data—including Teacher Name, School District, and Subject/Grade Level—to give visitors immediate context before they click a link.
