I'm an enthusiastic and hardworking front-end developer with a wide skill set that ranges from web and UI design to HTML(5)/CSS(3), JavaScript/jQuery, Wordpress theme development, Flash/ActionScript, and even copywriting and editing.

After college, I worked briefly in publishing, mostly as a copy editor. This background in words has helped me immeasurably as a designer and coder. Whether I'm designing a landing page or carefully commenting up JavaScript before passing it along to a developer, my focus is always on the content and whether or not I'm presenting it clearly to the person who needs to use it.

Why “Personable”?

It's a word that has followed me from performance review to performance review ever since I joined the working world. I pride myself on being easy to work with, receptive to feedback, gracious about edits, and positive and reasonable when obstacles crop up. I also strive to make my designs personable — in other words, clear and engaging.

Do you take freelance work?
