Nichole Richard (RDC 2008)

Nichole Richard is a web developer currently attending South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA. Her fields of study presently include anthropology and journalism. She excels in graphic design and site architecture, plus has the natural ability to stay on task and sift through a wealth of information to figure out the solution to a problem.

Her role in the RDC program was project manager and lead designer for the North Curry Community Radio website. She designed, produced and managed the development of the site working on location and remotely with her client and the design crew. As part of this, she learned to use a broad variety of programs relating to the creation and deployment of websites, and learned how to use Web 2.0 technologies to build a streaming media web site. She transferred this knowledge by creating several useful tutorials to facilitate the transition of the site, so her client can effectively manage her creation and train others to maintain it. She also helped coordinate the press rollout, working with the local media and designing supporting print collateral for the marketing campaign.
