Project Goals:
Simone Dalla Bella, a cognitive neuroscientist, professor and pianist based in Montreal, needed a website that would bring together his academic research, speaking engagements and musical activities. The goal was to create a professional online presence that reflected his unique scientist-musician identity, catered to an international audience and provided content in both English and French.
Our Approach:
Working remotely with Simone in Canada, I developed a contemporary WordPress website that presents his scientific expertise alongside the important role music plays in his research.
