Hello, I’m a Front-End Web Developer and Designer with 10+ years experience, creating responsive, cross-platform websites and web apps that are functional, accessible and pleasing to use.
I have a keen eye for UI/UX principles and enjoy solving design problems/challenges. I’ve worked with clients across a broad range of industries, including Healthcare, Finance, Marketing and Retail, in addition to many quality Digital Agencies.
50% of my work involves WordPress, where I am at home creating custom themes from scratch, adapting flat designs to pixel-perfect responsive layouts, using Advance Custom Fields, WooCommerce, creating Plugins where necessary, as well as building in SEO and security considerations.
Alongside general Web Development my expertise also includes animated banner ads and infographics, responsive HTML emails (MJML, MailChimp), Data Visualisation, API integration, SEO and Digital Accessibility (W3C/WAI). I also provide consultation.
