With over a decade of experience in business analysis, web development, and design, I bring both strategy and technical expertise to every project. My journey began as a web design hobbyist in college, which led to my first internship and ultimately a career built at the intersection of business and technology.
After earning a degree in Business with a focus in Management Information Systems, I worked in finance as a Business Analyst and Technical Support Analyst. During that time, I taught myself SQL and Python to automate reporting systems and generate database insights — improving operational efficiency and data accuracy.
In 2021, I transitioned into full-time web development and completed a coding bootcamp in Seattle, specializing in the MERN stack. Through freelance work, volunteer projects, and hands-on experience, I expanded my technical skillset to include AWS S3, Figma, and advanced web development frameworks.
Today, I work as a Shopify and Showit designer serving clients across the US. I specialize in creating custom, one-of-a-kind Shopify websites and strategic Showit websites tailored to each business owner’s vision. My background in business strategy and development allows me to design websites that are not only visually compelling but structured to support growth, conversions, and long-term scalability.
I believe a website should be more than just an online presence — it should communicate your brand story, build credibility, and attract the right clients.
