Joel is a project manager and web designer for Information Technology at William & Mary. With nine years of experience creating websites for educational institutions, Joel leads user experience design for the College's web presence. He also contributes to the development of custom web applications for the faculty, students, and staff of William & Mary. He was recently part of a project that delivered an easy-to-use, web-based tool for creating personal sites on the campus web server.

Joel was a key member of the team charged with reinventing William & Mary's web presence. He was deeply involved with many aspects of the project including strategic planning, design selection, technical implementation, and communication. Since the launch of William & Mary's new website Joel is developing usability and style conventions for the campus, and working with the School of Law and Virginia Institute of Marine Science to re-launch their respective websites.

In addition to his experience with educational websites, Joel has created dozens of websites on a free-lance basis. His clients range from a local costume jeweler to a Virginia State Senator. When he's not working, you might find him camping on the shores of North Carolina, hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or reading a book on his living room sofa.
