Project Overview & Constraints
-
- The Challenge: Build a production-ready web presence for Mariposa Homecare Cooperative, a startup opening in October 2026 in Yakimao, WA., operating under a tight deadline and strict budget constraints.
- The Goal: Deliver an inviting modern branding that is friendly and warm denoting the personal home care provided. Include dynamic user intake funnels and a highly localized user experience without high stock-photography or custom map-licensing available.
Branding & UX/UI Architecture
-
- Visual Identity: Formulated a complete corporate identity, including the custom logo, typography, and cohesive color schemes tailored for trust and accessibility in the senior-care vertical.
- Layout & Responsive Design: Designed and developed the user flows and layout hierarchy directly within WordPress to ensure high mobile responsiveness for elderly users and caregivers.
Technical Implementation & API Integration
-
- Custom Dynamic Components: Architected and deployed functional user intake funnels, including a secure, multi-step online employment application form built to handle sensitive applicant data.
- Google Maps API Integration: Programmed a custom location map using the Google Maps JavaScript API, embedding it to provide real-time location and service area visualization for users.
Generative AI Asset Pipeline
-
- The Problem: Commercial stock imagery for specialized senior care is expensive and often looks generic.
- The Solution: Developed a prompt engineering pipeline using Gemini, ChatGPT, and Adobe Firefly. Generated several dozen hyper-realistic, brand-consistent photos depicting caregivers and senior clients.
- The Tech Skill: Handled iterative prompting, aspect-ratio scaling, and visual style consistency across multiple GenAI models to match the core brand identity.

Content Creation | Copywriting
-

- Editing & Translation to Spanish: Work with the administrators to edit and fine-tune the text. Use Google Translate to create Spanish-speaking versions of content as necessary.
