I’m a web designer and developer located near Charlottesville, VA. I build websites deliberately and by hand, making sure that every bit of code and content that I put on the web is appropriate, as simple as possible, and of the highest quality.
Design-First
I have a formal background in graphic design, and have been working in design in one capacity or another since 2012.
When creating websites, I’m a designer first and a developer second. I care about creating exceptional sites that are built to last. This means prioritizing pages that load quickly, markup that is accessible and adheres to the highest web standards, and of course a strong visual aesthetic that serves to both complement the content as well as to delight users.
Internet Magic
It’s easy to forget what a magical thing the internet is, especially in this age of social media and slow, ad-filled websites eager to download a gig of high-res pictures and bloated JavaScript over your data connection.
Yet I still believe that the internet is an amazing place, and the fact that you (yes, you!) can create a website and post content on it that anyone, anywhere in the world can read and access is incredible. Maybe you’re a business that wants to start offering your products for sale online, or you just want to create a simple site that lists your hours and some basic info. Maybe you need a portfolio to showcase your work, or you want a blog to share your thoughts. Maybe you already have a site, but it just needs a fresh coat of paint.
The internet is still incredible, and it will be a little more incredible once your new site is on it. Let me help you make a website you’ll be proud to call your own for years to come.
