During the month of July, I wrote a blog post every single day to improve my skills as a writer. For post #31, I’m going to share what this challenge taught me about writing – and particularly, myself. Here’s what I learned: It’s easier with a plan Each day I was required to start fresh. […]
For today’s marketing exercise, I again analyze a company’s landing page (previously I analyzed the landing page for Listle), this time taking a look at Stonly.

For week 2 of my project, I tackled a marketing project that involved learning how to create […]
June is already halfway over (don’t ask me how), which means week 1 of my project has also come to an end. This week, I planned to get familiar with the workflow automator Zapier and use it to integrate many of the apps I use personally in an effort to show many ways that Zapier […]
Considering my personal portfolio is virtually bare at this point, one primary goal I had coming into Praxis was to work on creating some tangible projects that highlight different skills that will be valued by any business partner.
