About Me

I’m an email and front-end web developer with a design background and 15+ years of experience creating responsive, high-performing digital experiences. I specialize in HTML and CSS email development, mobile-first design, and building campaigns that render consistently across devices and email clients.

I collaborate with designers, developers, and project teams to deliver accessible, user-focused solutions. My approach combines strong problem-solving, attention to detail, thorough testing, and the ability to clearly communicate design decisions based on usability and best practices.

My experience includes dynamic email development, marketing automation, landing pages, WordPress, and CMS management. Outside of work, I’m the author and illustrator of Wonders of the Wild and a volunteer photographer, both of which reflect my creativity and attention to detail.
