Website Management
My skills in content management led to designing, creating, and managing websites for PBS, The Hamilton Project, Black Health New Mexico, & Tewa Women United, using tools like Expression Engine, Wordpress, and Sitecore.
I’ve consulted small businesses & entrepreneurs on how to grow their tech capacity by building concise & professional websites using Squarespace, & implementing solutions to improve online presence.
Content strategy & website management
Bethany Richards is a “doctor by day, artist by daydream.” Her vibrant & unique reverse-glass paintings depict Northern New Mexico’s stunning landscapes & florals.
To showcase her art, we worked together in the following ways:
Built a website using Squarespace to display high-resolution images of her art, and create a shopping experience;
Create event pages to highlight upcoming gallery showings, art exhibits, and pop-up shows;
Create a narrative around her background and previous art ventures to strengthen her connection with her growing fan base.
Oksana Wright Now offers life coaching, mindfulness courses, and mystical practices to help clients level up in all areas of their lives.
To expand Oksana’s business, we worked together in the following ways:
Bi-weekly Zoom meetings to strategize, create, and edit content to transform her offerings into robust programs;
Built a website using Squarespace to showcase programs, inform potential clients about her background, and create a point of sale;
Implement Calendly to give clients access to availability and scheduling options, and create an intake form for future potential clients.
Exploring tech solutions & innovating operations
In 2023, I began working part-time at Black Health New Mexico to combine community organizing, non-profit management, maternal health and community research in my role as operations manager.
To address challenges with process and cohesion in state-wide coalition spaces, I explored a tool called Mighty Networks to do the following:
Create a centralized place to collect meeting notes, collaborate, share resources, and find key information about membership;
Provide a “North Star” to look to when members need reminders about the coalition’s progress, values, framework, and what’s to come;
A place to maintain momentum and accelerate the movement after Zoom calls end;
A place to communicate outside of email and text messages.
Philosophy & Approach
Chanel’s approach to designing solutions & addressing the needs & challenges in software products greatly influences how she also approaches work in local community and non-profit spaces.
For example, her consulting work has included:
Exploring and implementing tools like Signal, Slack and Mighty Networks to improve collaboration in movement building work;
Implementing workflows in Monday.com to improve nonprofit financial management systems and practices;
Establishing regular feedback loops and opportunities for internal stakeholders to share ideas on how to improve practices at nonprofit through satisfaction surveys, staff exit interviews, and group focus sessions for program and budget fiscal year planning
Gathering community feedback on state legislative issues in small group sessions and coalition spaces
