Building a Global Youth Literature Collection
“Building A Global Youth Literature Collection 101” is a project funded by a Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association that was launched by the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative and is aimed at American librarians.
The mission of the project is to provide book lists of contemporary international youth literature in translation and information about organizations related to international youth literature to librarians seeking to expand their collections. The website is forthcoming in April. I designed and coded a custom WordPress theme incorporating feedback from the team behind the project and their advisory board along the way.

Silent Owl Vineyards & Winery
Silent Owl Vineyards & Winery is a family project. The wine is made from grapes from two vineyards in Washington’s Columbia Valley. I designed the winery’s label and website and photographed steps in the wine production process.

Custom Wordpress Theme
Medium Format
While completing Superhi’s WordPress course which featured three projects I redesigned and coded new versions. Using the Underscores theme designed by Automattic as a starting point the projects included a one-page responsive website with multi-language support, a blog styled with rearrangeable content using advanced custom fields, and a WooCommerce-based online store. Medium format is my version of the second project and showcases lomography cameras and lomographers around the world.

Custom Psycho-educational Site
Burnout
Burnout is a psycho-educational site I made and presented to trainee therapists and coworkers in a community healthcare clinic as part of their training program while taking a visual design and branding course.
The site is geared towards a healthcare perspective and is a psycho-educational overview of the history and differences between four different forms of burnout alongside quotes from Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self while Caring for Others by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky.

“Maddy Burton was absolutely invaluable, thoughtful, creative, and cooperative in designing and creating the actual website – she is the sine qua non of this project.”
Annette Goldsmith, Librarian
“Maddy Burton helped our press gain national coverage for several books during 2016 when she served as our chief publicist. She did this without any experience in publicity and with no one to mentor her. She also worked diligently and effectively to help keep our production on track.”
Bruce Rutledge, Chin Music Press
