About

I love art and technology. I like how the web gives the opportunity to combine art and technology to create new forms of storytelling and new ways to experience those stories. I am passionate about equal access and how Web Accessibility can level the playing field for people in many ways.

I've been creating the visual and interactive portion of websites for 17 years, the last 9 professionally utilizing HTML5, CSS, and Javascript web technologies.

Front-End Development, to me, is similar to a final round of editing, pulling all the pieces together for a final polish. Every step of the development process from data and content informed structure to responsive visuals create an interconnected balancing act. I am passionate about inclusivity, and I will have numourous questions about a project to determine correct semantics and accessibility early on. Knowing the users, the context and why of a product is important for determining the technical needs. So many aspects go into a product that is technically well-executed and emotionally enthralling while still achieving the initial goals.

Additionally, I have a surplus of multimedia skills available to be utilized: photography, cinematography, photo editing, video editing, and sound mixing.
