Hey, CCJ! I'm Chris Johnson.Reed College
Overview
I led the front-end development efforts for Reed College's website transformation, working as the lead developer for a sub-contracted development agency. Together, we crafted a design that captures the institution’s distinctive community and culture of academic curiosity and creativity. The new site creates an engaging experience for prospective students and refined functionality by providing a streamlined path for visitors to explore the admission process. Additionally, I collaborated with the Reed College IT department to ensure a smooth handoff for implementation in Cascade CMS.
