SELFSTORAGE.COM SEARCH (PW PROTECTED)

Increasing Reservations by 2%

Due to drops in Google Rankings over several months, I worked cross-functionally to explore more drastic changes to the search experience on Storable's Marketplace sites. This resulted in a new map search experience for SelfStorage.com that raised reservation rates by 2%.

AEGIS CARE (PW PROTECTED)

Creating a New Product for Nonprofits

Aegis CRM's tech stack was well over 15 years old, didn't adhere to modern web or design guidelines, and needed a ton of work. Aegis and the Moore DM Group spun up a team to maintain the existing tech stack, and start rebuilding key aspects of it, with a plan to replace it. Over time, this resulted in the conception of a new product offering, Aegis Care, for nonprofits.
