Dave's past project experience
As an Account Manager at Squiz, I partnered with government departments, Victorian Universities, TAFEs, museums, aged care providers, arts and non-profit organisations. Together we created large scale strategic digital projects. Some examples are listed below.
Squiz Matrix Website Development: DELWP had over 30 Websites with different designs! Dave worked with the digital leadership team at DELWP to establish a design system and platform rebuild, resulting in a more unified site structure using the trusted Vic Government brand, and relaunched a new set of sites and reducing ongoing site maintenance. www.deeca.vic.gov.au
Squiz Matrix Website Development: Working for the TAC communications and digital leadership group, Dave facilitated design workshops to set goals and generate ideas to transform the TAC website, increasing self-service online for people who'd had an accident, increasing transparency for health service providers and making it easier to get in touch with a real person. www.tac.vic.gov.au
Squiz Matrix Website development: The Victorian Building Authority were using the Squiz Matrix CMS, but their website had become outdated and didn't meet their communication goals. Dave worked with the project team at VBA and leveraged a series of human centre design workshops, engaging over 30 stakeholders across the whole organisation, delivered an all-new web experience with better User Experience (UX) and searchability. https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/
Marketing Automation Strategy: Dave ran a series of Marketing Automation strategy workshops with the General managers across the Repco and GPC business units. The scope of the workshops looked at the future of the business and it's need to adapt to become more sophisticated at Marketing, Marketing Automation and use of a CRM.

Squiz Matrix Development & Hosting: Dave worked with IT leaders at the University of Melbourne to move their hosting from In-house to the Squiz cloud. This resulted in significant performance improvements and less downtime. Following this move, Dave worked with the University to create a design system and set of controlled environments that allowed the university to manage the brand presence online and give access to the website to over 1000 content authors. The overall website design was then built in-house by the University web development team and rolled out university-wide. https://www.unimelb.edu.au/
Squiz Matrix Development and Design: At the time when Monash University was moving from their old CMS onto the Squiz Matrix platform, Dave led a design project that re-shaped the universities web presence. The initial project was for Study Monash , which then rolled out across all faculties and units of the organisation. Since then, the university has managed its web presence with in-house Squiz Developers, supported by Squiz for projects and web platform maintenance. https://www.monash.edu/study
