About Me

I am a Web Designer & Developer living and working in Chattanooga, Tennessee. My current role consists of building custom websites in CMS platforms such as WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, Craft, and ExpressionEngine. I specialize in optimizing client-facing websites for responsiveness across all viewports, ensuring cross-browser compatibility (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE Edge, IE), scanning and modifying sites for accessbility compliance, and most importantly — making websites beautful! I have a passion for using my skillset to help local businesses flourish in the digital sphere!

Need a website?

Always open to discussing your next project! Any new website I take on is another learning opportunity for me. I would love to hear your ideas and work with you to make the site of your dreams.
