Web designer and developer with 13+ years’ experience in digital communications, visual design, and content strategy. I combine technical precision with strong creative judgement, creating clear, accessible experiences across WordPress builds, campaign design, and stakeholder communications. I’m comfortable working independently or with teams, managing multiple projects at once and using data to improve performance—from SEO and analytics to accessibility (WCAG 2.0). I particularly enjoy turning complex ideas into usable, engaging digital outputs.
