PROFILE
I design stylish web sites with a clean design aesthetic that are user-friendly and built
according to best-practice web standards. I am a front-end web designer with a technical
edge. I know how Photoshop comps translate to code and can take a project from concept
to final build. I love helping clients look for their unique “message,” the IDEA that sets them
apart from the noise to create an engaging online presence that works.
