ABOUT ME

I am a transitioning into Web Development after a 15+ year career in Graphic Design. I enjoy solving technical problems and learning new skills and my design background will benefit a role as Front End Developer. In May I will be graduating from a Web Development Bootcamp where I have worked on many projects, individually and collaboratively, and used many development tools and design solutions.

Outside of design and coding, I am also a photographer and love any opportunity I get to create. I am a mama to an amazing son, and two rescued pitbulls.
