About

I live in Minneapolis, MN, with my spouse and two dogs. I am a print designer turned web designer & front-end engineer, who is passionate about accessibility and user experience.

I make websites performant, visually pleasing, accessible, and user-friendly.

I am a film nerd, music lover, occasional painter, enthusiast photographer, and world traveler. When it comes to food I am vegetable obsessed and prefer savory to sweet. Indian and Ethiopian foods are my absolute favorites.

Lately I've been working on my own React component library and example site.
