    paper Website for Annual Disability Conference

    Disability Conference website
    We needed the event page to mirror the Stanford School of Medicine web design - but we needed additional design elements and functionality. So, I built a site for the event, keeping with the design guidelines, that allowed us to show the agenda and speaker information in a more readable format.

    This project also included a slide deck and social media graphics.
