Imagine Life Coaching

Caterina Barregar is a relationship coach, empath coach and Reiki practitioner for Imagine Life Coaching. I designed a comprehensive platform for Caterina, merging her Imagine Life Coaching services with her dedicated empath coaching site, The Empath Journey. This intuitive and inviting website blends life coaching, empath coaching, and Reiki, offering users a seamless and enriching experience.

Eric Brunt Media

Eric Brunt is a Canadian filmmaker and storyteller who is telling the stories of Canada's last remaining WWII veterans. Although Eric is a filmmaker at heart, the stories are what drive his projects. He was running into a problem where he didn't have enough promotion materials in between films. I created a plan to move Eric into the more general content creation space, allowing him to put out more regular content. The new website features Eric's stories in a way that is both engaging and easy to navigate.

I create web experiences that play a central role in your marketing strategy. I believe it's important to serve your users content that lets them know exactly what you do best - everything on your website should have a well-defined place and purpose. In addition to creating carefully crafted websites, my project management and marketing strategy skills are what set me apart from the usual web developer. I know how to work with people and ask the right questions to understand how I can create a product that addresses your needs.
