About Me
After graduating from BCIT and coming to terms with the fact that I’m better suited to frontend web design and less so about coding and backend tech, I decided to pursue that further by learning WordPress and now that’s the majority of what I do! I primarily design and build websites, updating and adding digital content, and managing backups and plugin updates. Having said that, I’ve got my hands dirty with other web content management systems like Squarespace, Joomla, and Wix too.
Everything I create is fully mobile responsive and made with accessibility and SEO best practices in mind. I like to keep my padding and margins numbers rounded to the nearest 5 pixels, and I’m particularly fond of font – see what I did there? – especially Montserrat and Raleway. My most common tools in my kit that I use daily are Divi, Elementor, GIMP, and Excel.
I’m currently a freelance contractor and some of my clients are LMT Solutions and Next Step Advisors, and Baxter Media.
