The Marketplace:

Designed + Sold Products [Fundraiser]

To enliven community spirit and generate revenue to lower HOA fees, I designed and sold Middlesex Beach-themed apparel, umbrellas, and beach accessories.

We initially faced challenges from a limited digital presence and uncertain demand. I transformed this into an opportunity and developed a website to showcase our products, offer product reservations, and communicate with our community. The website was built in PHP with a MySQL database backend for inventory management. Responsible for communications, I also connected with potential customers over a dedicated email and through Chatra, a live chat service.
