I built my first website on GeoCities when I was about 10 years old. I soon discovered the wonders of frames, and thought I was the Queen of the Internet. I went to Ferris State University and received a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design (and an Associate's Degree, because why not), but very quickly fell back into web development after graduation.

These days, I'm the Senior Interface Developer and Interface Team Lead at CQL Corp, with a heavy focus on e-commerce platforms and web accessibility. Single brand, multi-brand, excessively-multi-brand, and multi-locale, I've built and maintained them all. I also spend a lot of time volunteering to mentor middle school and high school students on the basics of web and mobile app development.

When not at work, I live with my very fluffy cat and weirdly lanky dog, with lots of reading, drawing, buying too many miniatures, painting too few miniatures, and working on personal coding projects smushed in where the free time is supposed to be.
