About
Designer || Adventurer || Lifelong Learner
Thank you for visiting my Portfolio. While these projects represent some of my best work and projects that I have had the pleasure of completing, there is more to my story than the few projects on this website! I am passionate about design and thoroughly enjoy the problem solving challenges that come with being a front-end designer/developer. I am very dedicated to my work and am always looking for ways to be a better designer, be it through online courses, reading blogs, or challenging myself to learn a new skill.
Outside of design I love cruising the coast of Maine by boat, exploring local hidden hiking trails and eateries, and chasing waves with my husband, dog, and two daughters. I am always up for an adventure and excited to try new things.
