About Me & My Design Process
I'm a web designer and developer passionate about creating accessible, responsive, and user-centered digital experiences. My approach combines modern design principles with clean, maintainable code.
Design Philosophy
User-Centered Design: Every project starts with understanding the user. I conduct research, create personas, and validate assumptions through testing and feedback.
Accessibility First: I follow WCAG guidelines to ensure my work is usable by everyone, regardless of device or ability. This means semantic HTML, proper contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and ARIA labels.
Responsive & Mobile-First: I design for all screen sizes, starting with mobile and progressively enhancing for larger displays. This ensures fast, functional experiences everywhere.
Clean Code & Maintainability: Well-organized, documented code that's easy to update and extend. I follow best practices in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
My Process
- Discovery: Understand the project goals, audience, and constraints through research and stakeholder interviews.
- Strategy: Define information architecture, user flows, and success metrics.
- Design: Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes. Test early and often with real users.
- Development: Build with semantic HTML, accessible markup, and responsive CSS. Write clean, testable code.
- Testing: Validate across browsers, devices, and assistive technologies. Measure performance and gather feedback.
- Launch & Iterate: Deploy and monitor real-world usage. Collect data to inform improvements.
