About Me

Looking to get to know me
a bit better?

I'm a passionate Web Designer & Developer who's all about creating websites to be digital solutions and experiences. I love working with different industries, taking on new challenges, and making sure every project not only meets technical standards but also has a unique touch.

My front-end development skills include HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, allowing me to build responsive, user-friendly websites. I also work with PHP, MySQL, and WordPress, handling everything from custom development to domain setup and CMS management. On the design side, I use Figma, Adobe Photoshop, and Canva to bring a perfect balance of function and aesthetics to my work.

Accessibility

Fun Fact: My minor is in Information Technology! My degree is in Digital Media: Web Design from UCF and I also attended Valencia College in Orlando, FL for my Associate's Degree in General Studies.

When it comes to solving problems or collaborating with clients, I believe in transparency and resourcefulness. I keep communication clear and open, ensuring everyone is on the same page even while troubleshooting for any challenges that may come up. I also love to learn new things and take all experiences as a learning experience.

One project I'm particularly proud of is a unique concept that blends a hair salon with a video game space: Beauty Royale, an idea that brings together two different worlds to offer a fun, relaxing experience for clients. I think this was a fun passion project to marry two concepts that I love and create a unique digital space for a specific audience.

Outside of work, I'm a big fan of anime and manga, and I'm always looking for ways to bring inspiration from my interests into my projects!
