Design to code.
Ideas to experiences.

My work connects design with the details that make a website usable: responsive layouts, clear interactions, and reliable functionality. I turn Figma designs into WordPress and WooCommerce websites using PHP, JavaScript, and CSS, and help resolve the technical issues that get in the way of a good customer experience.

Running Lazy Barista and Golden Travel and Tours also gives me a business owner’s perspective: customers need clear information and an easy way to take the next step. I bring that same focus to my development work.
