Available to hire
I’m Harriet Pulford, a front-end web developer with over fourteen years of experience and a strong focus on accessible, high-quality UI. I enjoy collaborating with designers and back-end engineers to ship polished, performant products. When I’m not coding, I love refining UX details and keeping up with modern tooling and best practices.
I bring a collaborative, problem-solving mindset to every project, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can contribute to both design and technical execution while delivering accessible, responsive experiences.
