  • Namati – Innovations in Legal Empowerment

    This is my first BuddyPress site, made once again in cahoots with vernal creative and free range studios. The social functions let member organizations share ideas and tools, while non-member visitors may browse the organization directory, tools, publications, blog, news, and more.

  • YBCA: YOU – An event commentary site

    I worked with Vernal recently to implement this member site that provides “an online logbook for keeping track of your artistic experiences”.
