The Curious Reader
At The Curious Reader, I managed a team of 5 cross-functional employees, edited, wrote, pitched in on graphic design and designed and developed the website.
Content Management and Editing

My editorial approach goes beyond line editing and includes developmental editing. The focus is to help the writer publish the best possible version of the article.
Operations

Website Design and Development
Using Extra, a WordPress theme that uses the Divi Builder, I designed and developed the website. Over the course of 3 years, the website went through 2 re-designs and one re-branding. In addition, I designed and developed WordPress websites for two authors.
My design philosophy involves focussing on the goal of the website and ensuring a clean and user-friendly experience which is as functional as it is beautiful.
