Professional Results
My focus is to create successful finished projects – exceeding client expectations on every job. Each site is uniquely built by focusing on the needs of your business and its visitors (read: potential customers). I take pride in collaborating with clients to realize their vision. For me, part of building a working relationship is understanding your level of comfort with web technologies. I make an effort to express complicated concepts in a relatable way – person to person – avoiding jargon-heavy language.
My backstory
With twenty plus years of customer service and print industry experience, exploring the world of web design was a logical next step. After a decade of running 35mm film in a theater pub, I went back to school. By December of 2017, I earned an Associates degree in Web Design & Development from Portland Community College (Panther Pride!). In the spring of 2018, I got a gig as a teacher’s assistant at a code lab. Sharing my experiences and teaching others was incredibly rewarding – and educational. Diving in full time in late 2018, I subcontracted for other web design studios while I built a client base of my own. In the spring of 2022, I was recruited as a front end developer for a B2B startup. 3 years on, my position was cut and I returned to freelance. So here I am!
