Jane Chavez

Sierra Overlook Animal Rescue · Remote

• Audited the full Wix site and resolved UX friction across navigation, content hierarchy, and core conversion flows including adoption, donation, and volunteer signup.
• Replaced hamburger menu with horizontal nav bar, redesigned the homepage hero, and restructured the services section from a single column to a two-column grid to reduce cognitive load and improve scannability.
• Repaired broken footer with correct contact info and active social links; fixed image cropping and button visibility issues across multiple pages.
• Maintained clear stakeholder communication, a phased project plan, and transparent reporting of platform constraints throughout the engagement.

HCA Houston Healthcare Cypress · CHI St. Joseph Hospital · Rock Prairie Behavioral Health

• Worked in high-acuity clinical environments where clarity, task efficiency, and zero ambiguity are non-negotiable—experience that directly shapes how I approach designing interfaces that need to work under pressure.
• Supervised staff, coordinated patient workflows, and collaborated across multidisciplinary teams, building strong cross-functional communication and systems thinking.

HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Figma · GitHub Pages

• Removed Bootstrap and rebuilt all components from scratch in hand-written CSS and vanilla JS after designing layouts in Figma.
• Implemented animated canvas background, entrance transitions, custom cursor, responsive mobile nav, scroll-reveal, and accordion project cards entirely in plain JavaScript with no frameworks.

HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Node.js · Chart.js

• Capstone (team): full-stack calorie app—flows for meals, macros, goals, weigh-ins, dashboards; Chart.js; diagrams (use case, data flow, state); MVC + backend/testing alongside UI.
• Post-grad (fork → PR → merge): forked teammate’s repo for continued work and GitHub Pages; standardized index.html, UI polish (help, insights, share link, food search, footer year), and unauthenticated redirect to welcome. Changes were reviewed and merged into the canonical repo (April 2026); live on both teammates’ Pages deploys. Portfolio shows before/after mockups plus a frozen capstone snapshot (tree fb29950 ↗) and then → now diff ↗.
• Ongoing workflow: future improvements still go through pull requests from my fork into the team repo so history and ownership stay shared—same pattern as shipping fixes in a real org.

WordPress · Elementor · SureForms

• Built a full nonprofit site from scratch including hero, about, pet profile sections with adoption CTAs, and a SureForms contact form on a custom domain.
• Designed a custom brand identity including logo, color palette, and typography informed by real volunteer UX observations at Sierra Overlook Animal Rescue.
