Web

I create digital experiences that are easy to use, accessible, responsive, measurable, and discoverable. You know, the important stuff.

I am a full-stack developer with a love for the front-end. I work extensively with WordPress and approach every project with a strong focus on user-centered design. I make sure that everyone can use these sites, not only because “the man” (WCAG) tells us to, but because it’s the right thing to do. I make sure sites work (users complete their tasks, stakeholders meet their goals) because analytics is my (self-proclaimed) superpower. Also, SEO is my love language, so there is that. I love the entanglement of designing for looks, function, and purpose.

Along my web journey, I have had the honor and privilege of working with insanely smart people who have raised my bar. As a result, I have a career that I love and respect. I try to make sure that shows in every project that I create.
