about me

My home base is Tacoma, Washington, though my tech journey began on the East Coast with my background as an artist: I wanted to build my own website to showcase my artwork. I showed my paintings online for years, using a template, before realizing that I wanted more versatility over how I presented my work.

The answer was to learn to code! Also, my former job as a sign painter gave me graphic skills that I wanted to bring into the 21st century via digital design. I'm now a freelance web designer, with the eyes and hands of an artist, along with the attention to detail to code sophisticated sites that let the content shine above all else.
