I’ve been in web development for 4+ years. I bring pixels to life and make the web a more beautiful place, one line of code at a time.
Based out of Atlanta, Georgia.
I’m a web developer with a BS in Journalism & Mass Communication—yep, I started out in the world of words before I found my way into the wonderful world of code. Early on, I dabbled in writing, but my real passion surfaced when I started building websites for friends and colleagues. I loved it so much, I couldn’t stop! So, I decided to dive headfirst into the world of web development.
To level up my skills, I took a Full Stack Web Development program at Georgia Tech and snagged myself a shiny certificate. After freelancing, I was a Frontend Web Developer at a creative agency in Atlanta, where I got to bring cool designs to life and make the web a more fun, interactive place one line of code at a time.
When I'm not building websites, you can find me exploring new destinations (I’m a big fan of wanderlust!), lost in a good book on my Kindle, hunting down the best new food spots, or thrifting for unique finds to decorate my place. I'm all about the adventure—whether it’s in my personal life or in the world of web development. Let’s create something awesome together!
Each project may vary, but the process remains consistent. Here’s how I typically approach a new client assignment.
Planning is the stage of choosing the technology stack and software development methodology, defining the deliverables, and estimating the timeline and resources to complete the project. Other decisions include creating the content structure and sitemap, wireframing, planning the layout, including UI and UX design.
In the design phase, the wireframes come to life. This is where the raw framework is transformed into the visual design elements that make up the user interface. The design incorporates typography, color schemes, images, and graphics that reflect the brand’s identity.
The development phase transforms the design into a fully functional website. Design elements are coded and brought to life using the chosen technologies, with animations and interactive effects added. Essential features like forms, e-commerce, and content management systems (CMS) are integrated. Development tools vary based on the project, from Webflow and WordPress for pre-built solutions to custom platforms for more complex, tailored sites.
Once development is complete, the site goes through thorough testing to ensure that all components work as expected. This includes checking cross-browser compatibility and responsiveness on different devices to ensure a flawless experience. Performance optimization and search engine optimization (SEO) are also fine-tuned at this stage to ensure fast loading times and search engine rankings.
After the website is live, ongoing maintenance is essential to keep it updated and functioning smoothly. This includes applying security patches, updating content, and addressing any issues that arise. Regular updates ensure the site remains relevant and aligned with the client’s evolving needs.
