CONTENT STRATEGY & UX
NBC News Elections 2014
I combined my skills in project management, UX/UI expertise, content strategy, web development and collaboration to help create a unique, user-friendly election results website under enormous pressure and in the face of a tight deadline.
With limited resources, I helped to deliver an innovative experience that pushed past industry standards and challenged commonly held assumptions of what election coverage needed to be.
“If you need someone to make you smile, Evann’s your guy. He’s always ready with a joke and he loves to make people laugh. At work, he shines when he’s given a chance to be creative. He’s always eager to help and, as his coworker, I knew I could count on him when I needed guidance.”
“Evann? Curious. In the best of ways. He’s the teammate that insists we ask what we’re doing and why. When it’s not clear how to execute, Evann explores and experiments. It’s this kind of curiosity that fuels creative teams.”
VISUAL COMMUNICATION
The Service Board
The Service Board provides Seattle teenagers with a safe space where they are heard, valued, supported and encouraged to thrive. Their goal is to build community around strengthening youth capacity, amplifying youth voice and increasing access to opportunities for leadership and development.
See how I translated the vibe of this community into visual media in various ways.
“Evann’s a joy to work with, or even work near. Most folks bring skills and talents to what they do. Evann does that in spades but also brings an uncommon passion and dedication for a job done right – right in professional, equitable and ethical senses.”
“Evann is one of the more infectious individuals that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime, and his work and output rivals his personality.”
CREATIVE THINKING
Keep Cap Hill Queered mural
It started out as a little bit of wordplay. Then I made it a button.
Then we made it a mural. Then people loved it. Then Dan Savage interviewed me about it. Learn how I made a thought into a thing.
