Design With Purpose

I start with the problem, audience, and project goals before choosing the technologies or creative tools that best fit the solution.

Creative Production

Music, video, graphics, and digital media allow me to combine technical development with creative storytelling and engaging visual experiences.

Cloud & Automation

When a project needs more than a traditional website, I integrate AWS services, APIs, databases, and automation to extend its capabilities.

    Since my first WordPress post, I have learned a lot more about building and organizing a complete website. I created a portfolio site with a custom color scheme, navigation menu, header and footer, multiple pages, images with alternative text, and a dedicated blog page. One of the biggest things I have learned is how WordPress uses pages, posts, templates, and navigation differently. It took some experimenting, but the site is starting to come together and feel like my own portfolio. I am continuing to improve the site as I learn more about WordPress, accessibility, web design, and content organization.
