During my time at Buzzhunter, I completed several projects that can be divided into three groups: marketing and web development for an app called Cannalife, social media posts for the Buzzhunter Instagram, and my own personal projects.
Cannalife is an app for medical marijuana patients that will employ AI to prescribe strains and will serve as a forum for users as well. GCAC, the Canadian company I mentioned before, is the one that is developing and releasing this app. When working on the Cannalife app, I mostly worked under a coworker named Patrick. He taught me some basic html, which I had never touched before. With his help, I was able to code the terms of use and the privacy policy pages for the Cannalife website. I also did some other html and css exercises, which helped me understand the structure of the programming language and the ways in which it can be used. I also did some marketing for Cannalife. I did research about the app’s competitors, organized content writers for initial posts on the app’s forum, and helped create a structure for the content calendar for the app’s blog. It was very interesting to be involved in the beginning stages of an app that has so much potential to grow and impact lives.
Next, I created a series of social media posts for Buzzhunter. Buzzhunter has been working on improving and developing their social media page, and I helped create content for that page. I was given a lot of creative freedom and was able to explore different styles when making these posts. Being at Buzzhunter has allowed me to improve my Illustrator skills immensely.
