Hi! I’m Heather. I am a Web Developer, Visual Designer, and Writer with a passion for storytelling in visual and narrative formats. I’ve been building websites since 1997 and taking clients on a freelance basis since 2002. While my development expertise lies in HTML and CSS, I also work with JavaScript, jQuery, Ruby, and Rails.
I enjoy creating visual art with Photoshop and Illustrator. But I also love creating art with by hand using resin, vinyl, wood, and other mixed media.
In my spare time, when I’m not writing, developing, or designing, I love to cook with my nephews or listen to podcasts about technology or weird fiction. I also have a tendency to scroll through Netflix trying to decide what to watch.
