"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We
KEEP MOVING FORWARD
opening up new doors and doing new things because we are curious...
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Degree:
AAT - Web Development
AAT - Digital Media Arts - Currently Earning: Bachelor of Arts - Digital Technology and Culture
Utilizing my analytical and critical thinking skills, combined with creativity, color theory, UX/UI, and always keeping accessibility in mind, I am able to create websites, logos, social media campaigns, marketing material, apps and much more from scratch or use platforms like WordPress to design and deliver high quality, functional, and engaging projects that help people communicate a message to the entire world.
With many years in the service industry, I continue to place client satisfaction above all else. To me, the client and developer/designer are a team, working toward a common goal. I value communication and directness. I do my best to make sure each party is clear about the process and expectations ahead of time. Surprises and roadblocks are an inherent part of the development process and will surely crop up along the way. However, if everyone feels free to discuss it openly, most problems become opportunities to learn and grow.
