01 / SURVIVAL TO THRIVAL
2021
Turned a book into a living digital experience.
CLIENT
Storm Ventures
ROLE
Brand + Web Designer
SCOPE
Digital experience / CMS / Content strategy

THE ASSIGNMENT
Storm Ventures wanted to turn Survival to Thrival from a printed book into a growing community resource. That meant rethinking both the reading experience and an underused marketing site so future books, podcasts, and contributor content could live together.
MY CONTRIBUTION
I designed the reading and navigation model, restructured the main site, and helped shape a WordPress publishing system that generated table-of-contents anchors as editors added chapters. For the beta, we paired a timed email gate with browser memory so returning subscribers could continue reading without creating a full account.
WHAT IT ESTABLISHED
We launched a stable first phase the client could maintain and contributors could expand. Profiles, comments, and deeper community features were intentionally left for a later release.
