I truly love being able to find how my interests and talents can help make the world a better place. Our team wanted a total revamp and I was so excited to completely update and redesign the website!Īs a senior, have you selected the field of work you’d like to pursue, i.e., design, development, marketing, brand strategy? GiveCard's mission is, 'We're a nonprofit organization giving specialized debit cards, digital donation systems and revolutionary financial planning to our homeless community.' I was tasked with reinventing the existing one-page website that was not accurately reflecting the image and mission of GiveCard. My project is a website for a startup nonprofit called 'GiveCard.' I am one of the 12 team members of the nonprofit, which was started (and still operated) by Boston College students. What was the inspiration for your winning project? They sent me this and said 'you should put your name in the pot! Your website is amazing, and I think you have a shot.' From there, I did my own research and thought it was such an excellent program and opportunity.

“I heard about this scholarship through a link my friend sent me. How did you hear about the scholarship program? We sat down with Anna to get her thoughts on the program and her participation and this is what she had to say: As the team member responsible for web development, Anna was able to design, develop, and launch the GiveCard website complete with donation collection capabilities. GiveCard is a non-profit organization started by Anna and a group of like-minded classmates that offers specialized debit cards, digital donation systems, and revolutionary financial planning to the homeless. Peterson is a senior at Boston College and her love of all things technology related was crystal clear in her outstanding website submission: Givecard.io. Peterson received a $1,000 scholarship and the opportunity to discuss her work through a design critique with Ken Braun, Chief Creative Officer, Owner, and Founder of Lounge Lizard.

As part of a long-time commitment to the education of tomorrow’s leaders in the digital design field, Lounge Lizard Worldwide, Inc., the Best of Breed Web Design & Digital Marketing firm, is pleased to announce our scholarship winner for Fall 2020 - Anna Peterson.
