    Bio

    Hello! I am a seasoned UI / UX designer, former business owner, creative director, and passionate about everything design & WordPress. Designing since 1998, i’m thrilled to have worked with some amazing clients such as Disney Publishing, City University of New York, InsideClimate News, Chalkbeat, Birmingham Museum of Art, Recode, VentureBeat, The Getty, The Arc, Disney Streaming Services, Elad Gill, and Flickr. I love using my problem-solving and creative skills to lead designs toward success and innovation.

    I have been extensively public speaking since 2009. I deeply believe in the spirit of open source and enjoy teaching Typography, Design, User Experience, Accessibility & more.

    I love making the internet a more beautiful place at my home office in Birmingham, AL with my husband, daughter, and a menagerie of pets.
