About

I enjoy translating designs into responsive, interactive experiences in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with semantic and accessible code. I am constantly staying on top of emerging trends, applying industry best practices, and adapting to modern web technologies and programs. I have a passion for self-learning and strive to improve and challenge my skills to become better at what I do.

My work has been featured in web publications such as the CodePen Spark, Codrops Collective, Web Designer News, and Frontend Focus. I write and share with the web design and development community on Medium and Dev.to. I have also written for publications like CSS-Tricks.

When I'm not coding, you can often find me spending my free time drawing, reading, playing video games, or enjoying a cup of green tea.

You can also find me on CodePen, GitHub, Dribbble, Twitter, and Instagram.
