About

I’m a senior web designer and front-end developer with 16+ years of experience creating user-centered marketing sites, email campaigns, and cohesive brand systems. I enjoy owning projects end-to-end—from early wireframes and Figma design through WordPress builds, QA, and post-launch improvements—so every detail supports clarity, accessibility, and performance.

Across my roles I’ve led design system maintenance and component libraries, collaborated closely with developers and marketing teams, and translated complex briefs into consistent, conversion-focused digital experiences. I also integrate AI-assisted workflows (like Cursor and Claude) to prototype and troubleshoot faster while keeping craft and visual standards high.
