Multimedia
I spent a year creating this multimedia website about different heritage tourism sites in Ireland. I took a solo trip to Ireland for nine days in December 2018 and interviewed more than 20 Irish locals and tourists. All the interviews were recorded on a DSLR camera. When I returned, I compiled my findings into a multimedia website that includes videos, interactive maps, audio recordings and more. I also created a social media campaign leading up to the launch of the website.
