My Story
I’m a front-end architect with a passion for the web, Sass, social media & typography. Currently living & loving in Brooklyn, New York.
Like most creatives, I’m likely to buy something that’s in a pretty box, even if I don’t need it. Likewise, I’ll refuse to work with a business with a poorly-designed website, or (gasp) no website at all.
People ♥ Me
"She's an incredibly talented and knowledgeable front end developer and a true asset to our company."Johnathan Tebeau, co-worker
"She has not disappointed. Her work is among the best I've seen."Maximo Patino, client
