Portfolio
Website Development and Design
Portfolio created using WordPress.org
I created my portfolio by connecting WordPress.org to my GoDaddy account. I customized the theme Highlight” by ExtendThemes (child theme of “Mesmerize”) and installed the plugin “WPForms” by WPForms for my contact form.
Style Guide
I created my style guide in PowerPoint and converted it to PDF.
Interactive PDF
I created this interactive PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC. Interactivity includes bookmarks, links throughout the brochure, a fillable form and an embedded video.
Handcoded Website
I handcoded this website using HTML, CSS and Javascript and hosted it on the subdomain cmr.andreamiekina.com..
Mockup for Mobile Website
I created this mockup using Axure RP.
Wireframe for Mobile Website
I created this wireframe using Axure RP.
Javascript Calculator
This calculator was created using Javascript. It is designed to validate data entered, display error messages if data entered is not valid, and the user has the ability to clear data entered into the form fields.
Photoshop Project
I created this infographic in Photoshop. Fun fact: the photo was taken by me on my cell phone while at the San Diego Zoo.
My Photography
I use various Nikon DSLR cameras with a variety of lenses sizes and brands. I shoot in RAW only.
A handful of these photos were shot with a point-and-shoot, and one was shot with a cell phone.
I edit my photos primarily in Adobe Lightroom, although I’ve also used Adobe Photoshop.
The photos are hosted in a shared Google photo album.
Skills
CODING
I have experience handcoding HTML, CSS, JavaScript, writing PHP, SQL and MySQL to run queries, and I have professional experience reading and altering XML and JavaScript within Adobe LiveCylce Designer.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
I use WordPress.org to create websites, installing and customizing both themes and plugins.
HOSTING
I use GoDaddy to host custom websites (I have both connected to WordPress.org and used cPanel and FTP to upload handcoded web files and assets). I have set up a SQL/PHP database in GoDaddy, installed SSL certificates, and created subdomains.
DESIGN
I have experience using Adobe Photoshop, Axure RP, professional experience with Adobe Acrobat DC and LiveCycle Designer, and experience with Adobe Lightroom. I also have UX design and usability knowledge.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
I have professional experience in Local SEO, creating, verifying, claiming and transferring ownership of Google My Business accounts. I optimized content and assets and utilized Yext and Advice Interactive (now Advice Local). I have extensive knowledge of SEO, knowledge of Google Analytics, and I use resources such as Google Trends, Moz, Search Engine Land and SEMRush.
LEAD GENERATION
I was part of a team at a digital marketing firm that delivered a lead generation service, which included custom content creation, a website landing page, and Google, Bing and Facebook ads with analytics and optimization. I was in a client-facing role, I liaised with the sales team, and I served as Project Coordinator, ensuring projects were delivered on time.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Main PM experience: gathered requirements from clients, defined project scope and schedules, inputted stories in Jira, managed a Kanban Board and Microsoft Teams for content creators, web designers, and pay-per-click advertisers, and lead bi-weekly scrums (we planned, held standups, reviewed projects and completed retrospectives for each project depending on its stage). Other team projects: delivered an eSignature solution, completed account repapering of a large firm, completed a vendor switch (including system integrations, data migration/validation, and new offering), launched 2 new service (for 1, I created content for and was facilitator of several workshops). Individual projects: account creation platform deliverables within an Agile environment and deliverables for services purchased by clients (Local SEO and print and event marketing services).
