I've led full rebrands, built scalable WordPress systems, optimized loyalty programs for retention, and directed creative for multi-channel campaigns. I approach every project with a focus on measurable outcomes: conversions, engagement, clarity, and brand consistency.

My technical foundation includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WordPress development, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Google Analytics. I build to WCAG 2.1 AA standards (semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, proper contrast, screen reader compatibility) and stay current with SEO best practices and conversion optimization principles.
