about me
I have been designing and developing online for over a decade and I am passionate about usability, design and creative problem solving.
I approach each project with a thorough understanding of color theory, web typography, grid-based layouts and technical limitations, to create a visual representation of the essence of clients that enhances the content and structure of the site.
By bringing creative thinking to the structured environment of front-end development, I develop my designs ensuring consistent cross-browser, cross-platform rendering.
When I’m not hovered over my computer, I am a gamer and foodie through and through. I love hanging out with my husband and 13-years young cat, Rasta.
