The phrase “a jack of all trades is a master of none” is a common saying, but what many people are unfamiliar with is the full saying: “A jack of all trades is a master of one, but oftentimes better than a master of none.” As a Project Manager and Front-End Web Developer with a Master’s Degree in Business and a background in Sports Journalism, I am a true jack of all trades.
Building a website from concept to launch requires a range of skills and knowledge, and I bring all of them to the table. I start by understanding the client’s goals, then work on information architecture, UX/UI design, SEO strategy, copy writing, coding, hosting, and finally, the launch and end user training.
I’ve worked in a variety of professional roles, each specializing in one or two of those steps. That experience gives me a unique perspective that other web developers or graphic designers may not have, and I can see how all the different pieces not only fit together, but augment each other to create an intuitive—and beautiful—website.
Thus, a multi-passionate individual like myself can truly be better than a master of just one or two trades.
When it comes to building a website, having a variety of skills means I can handle any unexpected challenges that may arise during the development process. This versatility can also lead to more creative solutions to problems, as I can draw from a wide range of experiences and perspectives to find the best solution.
As a project manager I have the ability to see the big picture and understand the broader context of a project. This can be especially valuable when working on projects with multiple stakeholders and deadlines, as I am able to balance competing priorities and ensure all stakeholders are on the same page.
My experience in crisis management and communications can be a real asset to clients who are looking for a fast and efficient solution. I understand how to navigate challenging situations and communicate effectively to minimize potential disruptions to the project timeline.
I have the skills, experience, and creativity to help bring your vision to life. Now, I just want to build websites that help promote a good cause.
So if you’re looking for a jack of all trades who can bring a unique and effective approach to your website, I am happy to help.
