Professional Headless WordPress Next.js React Chart.js

Connexus — Recent Work

Connexus is the 4th largest credit union in Wisconsin serving over 465,000 members. As a member of the marketing team, I work with our UX design team to bring designs to life. Using a Headless WordPress environment built with Next.js, I ensure accessibility and performance best practices are met. Every feature is built to be responsive on all screen sizes, and optimized for desktop and mobile.

This page showcases the work I've done at Connexus over the past ~5 years including interactive calculators, dynamic rate components, and other UI/UX deliverables.
