I'm a Front End Web Developer based in Denver, CO, with a background in graphic design and a passion for creating exceptional user experiences.
In my current role as a front end developer at Bisnow, I lead the front end development of our website redesign project, using technologies such as Vue, Nuxt.js, Javascript, Typescript, SASS, and more. Additionally, I help maintain current systems and web presences through a variety of front and back end technologies.
Prior to my time at Bisnow, I enjoyed several years as a front end developer at Lifeblue, a digital agency. During my time there, I helped bring our client’s visions to life through thoughtful development solutions and beautiful, responsive styles. I worked with brands including AT&T, Heifer International, The Dallas Zoo, Perennials Fabrics, FC Dallas, and many more. I was also involved with the company’s initial innovative product team, in which we create SaaS products to aid cultural institutions, sporting events, and other programs. Additionally, I had the opportunity to contribute to Lifeblue’s own front end development framework - Motif.
Before venturing into the web development world, I started off my career at Core Publishing as an art director, in which I was responsible for the art direction of covers, article layouts, and promotional materials for 3 of their publications: Dallas Hotel Magazine, Houston Hotel Magazine, & Colorado Hotel Magazine. Along with my art direction duties, I also played a large hand in scheduling and production management of each of these publications. After learning to code, I transitioned into a role as Web Designer at Medieval Times. While there, I contributed to their main website, assisted in an overhaul of their ticketing UX/UI, and aided in developing a new ‘Partner Portal’ dashboard. Additionally, I aided in their marketing and design departments through graphic design, video editing, email design & development, and on-site production assistance.
When not coding, I enjoy hiking, kayaking and more in the beautiful Colorado mountains, performing and attending live music performances, and spending time with my fiancé, Eric, and our cat Leo.
