Web Design & SEO/AEO
For years, I’ve been crafting digital landscapes through website development, tracing an evolution from my IT origins. My journey began as a graphic designer before I ventured into web design & SEO, shaping online aesthetics. Drawn deeper into the technological abyss, I became a full-fledged web developer, mastering the code that powers the web, and ultimately became a UX designer, orchestrating seamless user experiences.

Google Design Sprints
Google World HQ Mountain View, CA (Googleplex) 📷 | Chrysler World HQ Auburn Hills, MI (CTC)
Participated in numerous Google Design Sprints at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA, picking up new design skills. I’m skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, XD, Sketch, and Figma. Over the years, I’ve dedicated my career to crafting and refining responsive websites and software leveraging HTML5 and CSS3 to bring digital visions to life.
WordPress Skills
Since WordPress’s inception, I’ve crafted compelling blog content, navigating its evolution from it’s infancy to the robust content management system it is today. In its early days, customization demanded meticulous editing of individual PHP files to achieve desired functionality, as the extensive plugin ecosystem was not yet a thing.
The advent of plugins transformed WordPress into a versatile CMS, expanding its capabilities far beyond blogging. My background includes a massive catalog of tools and platforms, including WP Engine, WooCommerce, WordPress Child Themes, Rank Math, Gutenberg, Breakdance, Canva, Shopify, Elementor, Beaver Builder and Thesis to name a few.
I excel in optimizing performance, significantly reducing load times and enhancing page speed and efficiency. My experience includes developing templates from the ground up and tailoring existing installations to meet specific needs.
