Description
In this ficticious exercise, I first asked ChatGPT to create a simple web application that displays educational content. Next, to align the web application with a fictious house style guide, I made some design updates to the web application by using my CSS knowledge (not ChatGPT).
I made the following design updates to the web application:
- Applied the italic font style to the introductory sentence for each section.
- Applied bold formatting to the section links.
- Increased the font size for the header text in the navigation bar to 35 pixels.
- Applied a top margin of 50 pixels to the h2 headings.
- Changed the background color where the educational text appears to #f4f4f4.

Collaborated with a small team to develop an informational poster describing how to carry out road maintenance for a dirt road in Bolivia. A further description of the project:
- Poster designed for residents of a small town in Bolivia
- Prepared for teaching the residents how to maintain a dirt road to be constructed by Engineers Without Borders
- Included maintenance instructions for gabion walls, armored crossings, and water ditches
- Attempted to avoid including in the poster any culturally insensitive language and images
I attended team meetings to ask a subject matter expert questions regarding local culture and to discuss project progress.
