I'm a front-end web developer.

Like many, I'm self-taught in this regard, born out of a passion for design and interaction. My first website was a static HTML site for my church. As I continued building small sites, I got better with CSS and subsequently discovered frameworks, content management systems, PHP, and JS/jquery. I now build custom sites from the ground up using the best of all of those tools.

With a background in graphic design.

Design is my first love. I care most about branding & identity, which is why I got into web design in the first place. I consider myself especially adept at logo design, iconography and typography. There is still plenty to learn, but I'll never tire of a concise mark paired with the right typeface.

My Process

If you've ever worked on a website project, you know how important a good process is. Personally, I think it's paramount to a successful launch. In the simplest of terms, my process can be distilled down into 3 phases: Discovery, Design, and Development. I've pulled back the curtain a bit so you can get an idea of what I try to accomplish in each.

What matters to me

Clean, future-proof code.

It all starts with the basics. I probably care more than I should about semantic code and keeping things straightforward and organized. I’m always seeking to create websites that fallback gracefully because I believe that code that is built on a solid foundation will age gracefully as well.

Skillset

I'm confident in my ability to write strong HTML & CSS and I'm pretty fluent in PHP as well as Javascript & jQuery, I'm comfortable with server management via WHM & cPanel as well as MySQL. Lastly, I'm well-versed in most design programs such as Photoshop, Xd, Illustrator, and InDesign with 10+ years experience in each (except Xd, of course).
