As part of the brand relaunch for

my familys store, I developeda new web site that serves as

an extension of our local mar-keting, an e-commerce site for

non-local customers, and aplatform for consignment ven-dor management. Emphasis

is placed on consumable prod-ucts as well as unusual or one

of a kind decorative items.

The site adapts a pre-designedtemplate to save costs. Muchof the copy and product pho-tography not supplied by ven-dors are mine.

Behind the scenes, the web

site and in-store databaseswere linked to prevent oversell-ing online. This is especially

important for the one-of-a-kind

vintage wares that the shopsells. Additionally, I developeda web-based vendor system to

streamline uploading consign-ment vendor inventory to theshops point of sale. It allows

vendors to submit inventory attheir leisure and for shop em-ployees to batch upload items

and to print price tags on a pe-riodic basis. The implementa-tion of both systems has saved

countless hours of data entryand has greatly reduced theopportunity for error.

Academic: New Venture, SpexWorx


(617) 642-4007

For a new venture class, my project team, which included two engineers and a lighting contractor, pitched a collaboration

software concept for the design services industry. I initially brainstormed an earlier version of the idea while working in architecture. The final version built upon the insight of each teammember and their experience with design collaboration. The

presentation slides shown below were created by me.

Academic: Branding, Privateer Rum


(617) 642-4007

For a branding class, my project team was tasked with recommending a new product for a local rum company and to define

a brand architecture. We chose to take a niche position with an endorsed brand. Calvados was an example product that weproposed fit this strategy. Endorsement is provided by bottle shape, label structure, as well as the American history theme

In addition to work throughout the project I provided all graphics and layout for the presentation slides shown below.

Academic: Conjoint Analysis, Womens Jeans


(617) 642-4007

My market research project team chose to do a conjoint

analysis of womens jeans and to make recommendationson how JCPenney might be able address those customer

segments within their stores.

The result (based on primarily a student sample) were four

segments, fashion focused, casual wearer, value seeker,and comfort prioritizer. Within the stores we proposed im-proving the shopping experience by separating jeans intotwo categories comfort and style. A selection kiosk helps

customers find what they are looking for.

The pictured slides are an excerpt from the presentation

that I designed.
