Website Creation & Branding
http://mnvetmuseum.org – Built from the ground up
Overview
Design and develop a full-featured website for the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum, supporting its growth into a world-class destination for education, preservation, and community engagement.
Challenges & Opportunities
The site needed to reflect the brand identity I co-created with the Executive Director while supporting a range of essential functions: membership enrollment, online donations, artifact submissions, newsletter signups, staff contact, and ticket sales for individuals, groups, and all age levels. It also needed to feature curated and original video content to expand the museum’s reach and storytelling. I designed the site in Squarespace and implemented custom code to meet the museum’s unique needs—blending flexibility with brand consistency.
Results
The live site now includes all core features, with ongoing updates and content additions. Revenue, traffic, and user engagement have steadily increased, helping the museum expand its mission and connect with new audiences.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jon on different projects for many years, and he consistently delivers excellent results. What stands out most is the personalized 1:1 attention he provides. His live, collaborative style makes it easy to shape ideas together in real time, which is invaluable when my own direction is sometimes hard to capture over email.

Digital Onboarding Guide
The Bountiful Company – A Nestlé Brand
