About
Welcome! My name is April, I am Director of E-Commerce & Marketing | Vintage Buyer for Head West Bozeman | Johnny & June. I’ve just recently taken on this roll but I’ve worked with Head West on a freelance basis for years. I manage the vintage side of the company – sourcing, processing, marketing, and e-commerce (we will be launching an online collection in 2024). as well as the tech side of the company, including inventory management systems and e-commerce, as Head West looks to expand their online offerings, and help coordinate marketing across various channels.
Previously, I worked as a Front End Developer at Hurrdat. Initially a self-taught designer, I decided I really needed to know how things work, and graduated from the UNO IT Innovation program, focusing on front-end development. In 2020, I developed a project called Remoter for the Do Space Women in Technology Fellowship focused on finding ways to help companies hire more remote workers – so you could say that I’m forward-thinking!
With a background in small business, I like to approach projects with a focus on client and end-user needs – what does the business hope to accomplish with a new website or campaign? What kind of information and interactions are their customers/users looking for?
I enjoy both right and left brain work – design and layout, as well as processes and backend management.
