About
WordPress web developer and designer with 10+ years of experience building, launching, and maintaining responsive websites for agency clients. Most recently spent six years at Harvard Media managing a large client portfolio in WordPress, working with page builders such as Divi and Elementor and making advanced HTML/CSS adjustments where a builder falls short. Comfortable turning Figma and Adobe XD files into accurate, consistent layouts across desktop, tablet, and mobile, handling client revisions, and running thorough QA before launch.
Reliable in a deadline-driven environment and easy to work with across design, content, and development teams.
