A few things to know about me

I've spent most of my life making neat things on the internet, between developing websites and software, designing graphics and posters, managing social media, and editing video content. These days, I primarily work as an independent contractor for businesses, freelance professionals, artists, and non-profit organizations. I also engage on larger software development and consulting projects as a partner with Parallel 42 Systems.

I'm especially passionate about hand-coded websites, accessible equity-centered design, user-friendly interfaces, and open-source software, as well as projects that intersect with advocacy (particularly for queer and trans communities).

Outside of my work in technology and design, I've also worked in vegetarian restaurant and café management, directing and editing for film and television, consulting on technical solutions for small businesses, and leading workshops for 2SLGBTQ+ folks. To learn about my work improving access to information on name and gender marker changes in Canada, visit the TG I.D. website.

I'm also a lifelong science-fiction nerd, former comic book collector, and current cassette tape collector. When I'm away from my keyboard, chances are I'm making playlists, reading library books, watching movies, or walking around the city taking photos of pigeons.

You can find examples of websites, applications, and designs I've worked on in the section below, or on my Instagram page, and you can learn about the freelance services I offer a bit further down this page. Also feel free to check out my most recent resume.

Some projects I've worked on

The services I offer

I'm currently taking on freelance projects for web and software development, graphic design, digital content strategy, and website auditing. Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss your goals, deadline, and budget in more detail. I'd love to help make your dream project a reality!

Web/software development projects will often involve an initial discovery process to establish your specific needs, after which I develop a unique road map for the project, and together we find a quote that compensates my estimated labour while meeting your budget. For smaller-scale projects, ongoing maintenance work, graphic design, and consulting, I work on an hourly rate.

I develop all of my web projects with consideration for responsiveness (functioning seamlessly across devices), search engine optimization, and web accessibility, and rigorously test for usability and performance before launch to ensure every potential user gets the ideal browsing experience.
