Hi, I'm a front-end developer bringing creative and user-friendly solutions to the web.

A little bit about me.

I'm an artist and designer who fell into tech as an easier way share my skills with the world. Through my formal education I studied fine arts, focusing on painting and art history, and I grew a deep facination for the power of a clean layout and beautiful color scheme. Check out my art portfolio page to see some of my non-digital work.

Once I learned how to code my first website there was no turning back. I fell in love with the flexibility that came with life as a coder, and the endless oportunities to expand my skillset with new languages. I love my career as a front-end developer, and can't wait to share my skills with you!

Hand-Coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

My focus is writing clean, well-formatted, code by hand to make sure that the content is easy to read, collaborate, trouble-shoot, and access.

Mobile-First Designs

I pride myself on writing CSS that is easy to read and build on. I focus on perfecting mobile interfaces, the most common user platforms, first, and then build off of these designs for tablet and desktop views. Mobile-first designing accounts for the user experience on all screen sizes.

Ease Converting Designs into Code

You can trust me to take a designer's design specs, and quickly & accurately convert it into a webpage that is pixel-perfect match.
